[Suggestion] Custom Tiles, and faction creator

from Elemental Forums


I thought the tile forge was a great idea, only to be disappointed by the fact that the only way for you to see them is by a custom map.

It should be relatively easy to code the ability for you to swap out a tile(city improvement) from a custom faction with the one you've created.

---------

Now the faction creator, is it possible to add Hair color/Skin color sliders into it?

It is already embedded into the .xml file of those factions, it just seems to be missing from the ingame GUI itself, same went for WoM.

 

Thanks

Faction creator could use just a little love. That being said, I think most of it is easily modifiable in the XML files.

IIRC we have been told that not only can we create tiles, but we will also have the ability to create templates (like the wild lands) that will be placed at random within randomly generated landscapes (again like wild lands).

This was quite a while ago though so I am not sure if it is still the case.

While that would be better than WoM, it isn't enough to utilize its full potential, the ability to customize a faction's appearance to an extreme degree

I made a faction editor back for the WoM beta, I've updated it a bit for the FE beta.  It works so you can mod all the colors of the faction.  It will even generate random factions.   Feel free to try it out:
