User created factions

from Elemental Forums

I am not sure if this situation just started with the new patch, but I don't recall seeing it happen before. After creating my own factions, the colors I chose will change on their own. I have gone back in and redone them and resaved only to load up the game later and have them changed again. I thought maybe its a corrupted file, but I don't see a way of deleting a created faction. You can delete a saved leader by right clicking the portrait, but it does nothing on the faction portrait.

Has anyone else had that happen? Is there a way to delete a created faction? I looked in the different folders and didn't see a "faction" folder to access. I know its not as big a deal as others have had with crashing, but thought i'd mention it anyway.

I've seen this since 1.08. When I reload a custom faction, a bunch of the color categories will change to a "skin" kind of color.

Agreed, the faction colors will change occasionally.  Strange bug.

Thanks for the replies. I did find the race folder finally.

Thanks for the link as well..good info there.

I guess I have been luckier than most with the game and crashes. Have only had 2 or 3 since the game launched. My biggest problem I get is graphic glitches in game. For instance the town bar gets replaced by an enemies one even though its still my town, or the portrait of my leader changes to a different hero or even a monster. Reloading the game usually fixes it or it fixes after a couple turns.

All in all I love sandbox games and I see great improvements from the launch. I am glad I bought the game and would recommend it to others with a warning it's not quite finished yet.
