A question about homeworlds

Can I make multiple homeworlds? Home stars?

May 30, 2006 1:39:44 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
It once occurred to me when exploring the RaceConfig.xml file: is it possible to make more than one planet your homeworld? I changed my CustomPlanets.xml file so that all the planets in my home system were habitable; is it possible to make all five of them my homeworlds?
Also, thinking about this led to another question: if it is possible to have multiple homeworlds, what about home stars? I think it would be cool (at least, for me) to have more than one system in the beginning.

I just wanted to ask: does anyone know if either or both of these are possible?

just an idea, but try going into raceconfig.xml, there it has something like

Earth
Sol

so try adding a few more, as in

mars
or
Elipson

i think it'll work

I tried that once and it not only didn't work but made the planets like they normally are, i.e. only one other besides normal homeworld habitable. I think it's probably because I did something wrong (because I'm figuring stuff out as I go) and I wanted to know if anyone more knowledgeable had managed to do it.

there is just too much hardcoded. maybe stardock will remove this sooner or later

2 homeworls would be silly, but in a custom map, you can add the # tag under a planet, so its at least colonized by race X

I've ended up with several of my planets as capitals/homeworlds. Usually their names are Dratha, Earth and Drengi

I don't know how to do it with a mod tho, sorry.
