custom factions

race? background text?

um... where do i find in the custom faction screen what the different races do? or am i just missing something dead obvious like mouseover?

 

given sovs have some sort of auto background text generator.. is it possible to do that with with factions?

I think you have to remember it from the faction select screen before you start customizing.

Would be good to fix that before release, but there are more urgent things for the next week or three.

eh... faction select screen doesn't tell you anything about races. (and that's under .76

 

it tells you what the faction strengths/weakness are... something that any custom race can pick.

 

so.. the question is.. what's the difference between the races? i think the faq says something about certain races are stronger or some such.. but can't find that info with the ui.. or ingame help

You are right, they do have different unit stats. Things like str, constitution and other similar stats differ between the basic units. Not only should this information be available when you select custom factions, this information should also be available when you select sovereign+faction before starting a game.

I think you should move this topic to the Fallen Echantress Beta forum, by the way. Go to Edit, then you can view the subcategories in the dropdown menu near the title.

creating faction is not the problem. finding out what the races do is the unknown thing. ie.. what is the point of picking different races aside from gfx.
