Are there any tutorials available anywhere that go over the process for creating new Races/Factions?
Someone kindly pointed me to this https://forums.elementalgame.com/433305/page/1/ the last time i asked this question
That race editor wasn't made for LH, so it won't work right. Making a custom faction is easy you can use the in game editor. Making a custom Race is not that hard unless you also want a custom modeltype so your unit has custom clothing and looks. That's is very very time consuming. You don't so much add a new race as edit 90% of the xml to include it. Look at some mods that contain races such as my Additional Traits mod or Children of the Storm.
slightly off topic: Any idea if there is xml attribute to make the race fatter?
<ModelScale>1</ModelScale> Will increase the size of a unit.
and some fallen male units have a different body type that is larger and more muscular such as
<UnitModelType>FallenMale</UnitModelType>
However no you can't make a unit fatter through xml.
I don't think you can disable a race. You can disable a faction though by adding
<HideInSetupLists>1</HideInSetupLists>
to the faction xml.
