If you had a custom image you wanted to use for your faction you would just reference it here, I think Paul has one for his dog Maggie.

We could create our own versions of any of this. The hardest part is finding a mediocre planet, do they keep going, looking for something better, or settle? And when they find a worthwhile planet it is a huge joy. When they choose to set out for a star it becomes a dramatic step, and when there is nothing there it is a tragedy of the time of a very valuable resource wasted. At first I gave them the extra colony ships in addition to the normal Survey and Scout.īut when it was just Colony ships it made them feel a more desperate. I played with a bunch of options with their starting ships. We could put anything we want in here, 12 Colony ships, a Battleship, a fleet of flying toasters, etc. In this case they have ruined their homeworld and used the last of their resources to prepare 3 colony ships to go out and attempt to find a new home. The Ghosts are unlike any other faction in GC3, and we want to be able to do more with them than the Custom Race tool normally allows. You either want to add something, modify something or delete something. At a high level there are three things you want to do when modding. So your files must have unique names even if they aren' in the same directory. NOTE: We use a file structure to help with organization, but the game actually just searches all subdirectories when looking for files.

But first we are getting the system working. The plan is to get some Steam Workshop integration in here to help manage this at some point. But, if you really want to make something unique you can go so much further.

We give you a bunch of images, traits, abilities and settings to create whatever race you want.
