A feature i think would benifit the game is allowing players to create their own custom AI personas to play against in-game.

I know that you can pick out Personas from this platform. But I still like the ability to just str8 up create multiple personas to be & play against.

Allowing players to do this also makes the grind to unlock traints from achievements more worthwhile imo.

Isn't that literally what is already available?

The traits you're unlocking and such you can make AI personality traits from them. How that AI behaves if it's being played by an AI.

But you can't play against your own custom AI persona's, let alone use their Traits and bonuses which can only be used by the AI. The persona you make can only be used by other players to fight against, a severe downgrade compared to the custom nations of the endless games.

Sorry I never tried to play against my own AI, or make one. I thought that was literally the whole point of your characters "AI" and stats was for when the computer played as it.

Those stats, personality traits, and the like don't effect you as the player, you don't get any bonus's from them as far as I'm aware.

Also, let's say you find some other players and use their persona. Now everything is setup. But then they change their persona :(

You should be able to have personas you control so you can control what you play against.

I meant, playing against Personas you create and customize (like the players persona). Currently you can't do that, you can only download Personas from G2G created by other players (which you can't edit either).

I approach 4X gaems as an exclusively single-player world building fantasy. So if Persona customization is possible, I just wanna be able to make AI persona's to play against.

Also I hope that the strengths you can tack on to player Personas give you the bonuses during gameplay....otherwise what was the point?

Just use this mod: https://gc2021.com/showthread.php?tid=53 , it does exactly what you want. It seem a bit complicated but it really isn't.

Thanks G!

I would like to see what said become a feature. But for the time being, i'm glad a mod exists.

I think we should be able to get personas that we improve over time. That sounds like a lot of fun a small RPG element on X number of wins will grant you a tiny passive.
