[feature request] FactionDefs additional tag request.

January 1, 2015 7:48 PM from

Right now each faction has an entry along the lines of <TechTree>Terran_Tree</TechTree> in FactionDefs.xml. Between the StartingShips, CreditsInit, & race traits, you can configure/mod a lot about each faction, but you cannot set custom colonization events. Specifically I would like to see a <ColonizationEventsFile>somefile</ & maybe <IncludeDefaultEvents>true/false</>. If we are getting really out there, maybe the same options for custom IdeologicalGalacticEventDefs in addition/instead. Speculating on the inclusion that since the xml's are pretty much the same format, it might be possible to almost copypasta both if one gets done .

Oh this sounds a fun idea, especially as colony events form quite a big part of the game and setting up each planet or your strategy. It'd mean that you'd really be able to customize that new custom race's experience each time you play.

Like it! , the ideological tweaks too!
