change creation points?

Is it possible to change the number of points a created character may invest in different areas? for example, start with 6 instead of 4.

Is it possible to change how many points drawbacks give (and intensity of drawback)? For example, instead of -20 spell resist, -40 and +3 points.

I am very new to this game and am like a lost puppy getting fragged in the first 50 turns.

Is it possible to have a faction with say... 3 points instead of 2? where do i make this change? i found one for the leader, but not the faction.

I want to make a faction that has 3 points instead of 2 - and it's leader should have 3 points instead of 4. this way creation allows more diversity without "breaking" things.

This should be it in ElementalDefs.xml:

Code: xml
        <!-- Sovereign customization -->
        <SovereignCreationCustomizationPoints>6</SovereignCreationCustomizationPoints>

Also, once your custom sovereign has been created exit out of the game before you actually start a new game. There is a file in the MyGames\FallenEnchantress\Units folder with the name of your sovereign and a bunch of numbers. You can edit that file and give your sovereign almost any valid ability and/or equipment you want. Save a copy before you start editing as messing up this file can crash the game as start a new game.

in CorePlayerAbilities.xml

<PlayerAbilityType InternalName="A_Traits">
    <DisplayName>Traits</DisplayName>
    <Description>The amount of traits this faction can support.</Description>
    <Icon>FactionAbility_Traits.png</Icon>
    <UsedAsMultiplier>0</UsedAsMultiplier>
    <DefaultValue>12</DefaultValue>
</PlayerAbilityType>

in ElementalDefs.xml

<SovereignCreationCustomizationPoints>12</SovereignCreationCustomizationPoints>

but the Sovereign still has 6 points instead of 12.

Is there a spot to change the faction points from 2 to a different number as well? (the points in Customize Your Faction)

Just make a custom faction trait that gives you the amount of points you want.

By the way the sovereign creation point should have been done with larger numbers, as the abilities cost. This would have allowed more subtleties in cost.

One workaround i used was creating new sov/faction flaws.

You can have a flaw that doesn't actually "do anything" but give you 15 points (enough to buy level 3 in each spell school) if you WANT to, but I learned that i can add new flaws.

Some flaws if intensified, such as magic resistance penalty 50% is worth 2 point, right? what about 20% unrest, 2 fair points? what about a Sovereign flaw that adds a maintenance cost per level?

I don't remember how, but i was able to adjust the value but i forgot how.
