Portraits and fluff for minor civs

Where did it go in game, and why is it not on the Gal Civ wiki?

from GalCiv3 Forums

So I am lazy and not active on these forums, so sorry if the answer to this question is posted somewhere easy to find. Please be nice and give me a link if so.

 

I am just playing the game again for the first time in probably a year or more. Crusade seems cool so far, but I am not a huge fan of the changes to Minor Civs (common gripe, I know). So I set out to recreate them as Major powers, only to find that my memory isn't good enough to do it. Google foo has failed me, and I can't find the portraits and fluff text for the Minor races that were in the game prior to Crusade.

 

I know that the portraits still exist in the Civ creator, but I want to match the portraits to the correct names and fluff (and can't do it by memory). I also know that I could probably find a way to roll back my game version, but frankly that isn't worth the time I would have to spend.

 

Can any of you fine people help out with this?

On the old wiki there are a few things, except portraits.

Another way is to look in the folder Steam\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\data\Game for the file FactionDefs.xml, it has the data for all civs, including minors. While in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\data\English\Text the file FactionText.xml has all the text for civs.

Thank you. I was using the wiki to create a bunch of them, but couldn't remember what portrait went with a few of them. This is very helpful.
