A few questions about both present and future content

This question in particular has bugged me, I am going to take it from another thread, the latest dev journal and post it here, since the bickering over there has caused too much a disruption to allow any of my inquiries to be answered. Plus they weren't all that much on topic anyways. Well, here goes...

Excerpt and questions are as followed:

 

My last couple of questions is on the still murky jumble of information that is floating around the Faction Creator. This would probably be the only feature I would fume over a little. I do not particularly like using text editors, and am not in the modding scene all that much, I know others don't mind and that is perfectly alright, but one of the major draws of Galactic Civilization 2 was the ability to rather simplistically create my own faction (leader pics and all) without having to really dive into editors all that much.

Also judging by a previous poll not many including myself particularly care to play as one of the pre-made kingdoms, as we would rather make our own (as in Galciv 2).

Question 1: Will there be a working UI driven editor at least in the Workshop? Or are we all relegated to text for our Faction creation needs?

Question 2: Taking into consideration for the need to maintain multiplayer balance on official servers, will we at least be able to design our multiplayer kingdom's peasants and general color scheme with the inclusion of the ability to name our kingdoms? Also, will this include a simple heraldry editor to customize our flags?

I only want a simple editor that would operate kind of like halo's emblem system, and no custom pictures so as to prevent people from marching their "army of dongs" with their phallic flags into my territory making me a very unhappy and angry person.

Spore pretty much showed us the depths of immaturity that would be traversed by the masses if you gave them any kind of creative freedom and you didn't at least have checks and balances to monitor these idiots.

Additionally, here is an off the wall idea, and a recommendation:

But just for an off the wall feature, I would like to see a replay system, lol, yea I know it sounds insane but a replay system with the ability to shout-cast would make for awesome Let's Plays.

It may sound boring but I do like watching let's plays even while I am playing these games, would be good for passing down some pointers from the pros. Too many people were turning after action reports into fan-fiction threads, so much so that I was prepared to ask for the addition of a fan-fiction forum so as to filter these people out and keep the more professional AARs (AmazingBen, HydroAC and Wyndstar for example) where they belong.

I hope to get some answers, and a little input from the everyone. I do not post very often, but as a solid customer of Stardock, I felt I should insert a little input in here. Can't wait to un-box my Limited Edition.
