Not sure if each faction should be able to show up in the world more than once or not, but I have two Altar's in my world. One run by Relias and one run by Procipinee (sp?) calling herself Relias.
One quick thought, have you make a custom faction using the altar race as race?
It only puts in one of each sovereign, but if 2 are representing Altar, I guess the situation would occur.

There should be a way to distinguish between the factions of the same type. I like the idea of creating a civil war senario, but the faction power box would be all but useless. I recommend adding the sovereign name to distinguish between the factions. Another option is to allow the player to write their own faction names in game for each of the players.
Good ideas both. I'd just add the color should be user chosen, so that none are identical.
Even if I had created a custom faction other than the one I was playing, which I hadn't, wouldn't the second custom faction be using the custom sovereign I'd assigned to it?
This was two canon sovereigns, one from Altar and one from Pariden, each leading a separate Altarian faction. FWIW, I have not run into Procipinee leading Pariden properly yet on that map even though Pariden was supposed to be in the game. I'm about 2/3 of the way across the map.
I have to Altairs too. The 2nd was run by Verga, IIRC I first saw him after I had killed him off from his normal faction. And I haven't created any custom Altair sovies in .90 or .91.
[edit] Just got to the end of game screen and their were 2 Verga images in the final score listing. 9 factions total, because I was playing a custom Tarth against all 8 regulars, including regular Tarth. Tarth was missing, replaced by the Altair/Verga hybrid.
