Minors given the salvage trait also used to make use of the colony ships they salvaged, ones gained from ideology, anomalies and from faction starting ship traits.

Would you be willing to make a tutorial video on how to make replacements for anomalies, missions, resource collectors, ect? I would love to learn more from your work, you inspire me to keep modding despite all the time my personal life takes away from it. Thank you for all the time you have put into GRM :)

Thats what I'm hoping to fix, I was half way through a mod to improve minor races to make them a fun aspect of gameplay when Crusade came out and haulted my progress with a brick wall :/

Making them into a full blown major civ causes a few problems that the minor civ tag prevented. -players being able to select the races -the civs taking up ai slots for the map -the civs taking more colonies than they had colony ships just to name a couple My last attempt to make them do anything included editing the civ to have starting surveyors and constructors and adding a new entry in AI strategy Defs based on the Pirate entry and di

Now it's only real functionality is for the mega event. They were so useful before. If you wanted to fix exploiting of them for techs all you had

[quote who="Syrkres" reply="1" id="3679887"] I have a random minor faction generator , which does not use those tags. I currently do not play Crusade (unloaded it - so I can't test it) but you may want to try those minors to see if they do trade. [/quote] I have tried removing these tags already and it does allow you to communicate with them as you would have before the changes, but the real problem li

Does anyone have any ideas on a way to return pre-crusade AI to Minor civs? Currently they now act as a pre-space civ which would be nice for a new faction type with perhaps a way to uplift them or collect research though observation or probing, but having the minor civs act like limited Majors gave me loads of possibilities with lore/gameplay. Especially since they were AI only and didn't count towards the overall player count. I loved being able to add all the lesser faction

[quote who="ManiiNames" reply="4" id="3630750"] MovesCap Starbase Flat 1 ^^^ is the only thing you changed though, correct? [/quote] For the sake of curiosity, I tried it and it doesn't seem to work.

I know you don't like using dlc much but the Scavenge ability when added to pirates allows them to capture/use constructors/colony ships even if its a low chance and I thought I might mention it since your planning on reworking the pirates a bit ^.^

If you redo the Snathi please include both :)

This may also help :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyuzaYS0ewY&index=4&list=PLVA5Lf10pstMfYckhKGNE2YjlAtbRaTD1

[quote who="NanakoAC" reply="11" id="3544066"] i agree, pirates should extort, and/or capture ships alive. Destroying things simply isn't profitable, they shouldn't be doing it without good reason. [/quote] This can be modded however I'm unsure of the impact it would have on a game long-term. You could add the Scavenger ability from the Snathi DLC to the Pirate faction allowing them to occasionally capture any ships. Unfortunatly, In order for them

I'm not 100% sure, but I spent some time looking around and its possible this is the original mod they came from, as the images are identical from what I can tell. http://www.moddb.com/mods/galactic-civilization-mass-effect/images/galactic-civilization-mass-effect#imagebox If not, the author of this mod may know or have credit given to the original cr

You know, I was just looking into RAD Video Tools as a possible way to make animated FG and BG xD Experimental or not, its good to know we finally have a way to make these, good work! :)

Check the mega events dlc for how the dread lords are added to the game. You might be able to add a faction through an event thanks to the dlc. I haven't checked into it yet though so no promises. I'll try and remember to update if I find out :)

You would need to give a little more detail, there are several of us working on one mod or another that could cover one or more of these areas xD

I haven't looked into it too much yet but you may be able to create them with this, just bare in mind I'm really only guessing. Animated FG & BG are pretty low on my priority list for the factions I'm working on considering that I have zero experience in that area xD It will be the finishing polish to signify that I'm totally done lol http://www.radgametools.com/bnkmain.htm Edit: Neu

Well, with my own setup I use 2 screens one running the game and the other with the xml's open to make changes. You could look at everything you have set with the in-game editor on 1 screen and the xml on the other. Other than that, I haven't seen another way to do it, but I feel your pain as I made all of mine with the editor at first xD <a title="SecondMonitorExample" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92507262@N07/240090

Of course, but keep in mind it take a lot of time in order to make a well polished faction, especially for those of us working by ourselves rather than with a team. Real life obligations can also increase the time it takes to make a well polished faction. Just be patient, they are on the way :)

JP193 discovered a few things that can be done with music but that's all I know so far :) https://forums.galciv3.com/471080/page/1/#3590633

In the Core Folder you need to edit AppearanceDefs Engine color: 2 Engine Trails: 255 178 84 254 The appearance internal name: EVN_AOFT_Appearance <p

To be fair, I could have spent far more time searching for more as I only looked on the workshop, I just happened across this post while reading through the forums and noticed no one had answered yet xD Feel free to post any others you find :)

These are the only Romulan Warbirds I've found, If I find time I can try to make one, but I already have ships I'm designing for quite a few of my own factions. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=570403913 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=578654183 <a href="http://stea
