RELEASE-Human Factions Mod.

The race mod.

What if humans were not united when HyperDrive was invented?
Also, are you tired of humans being the only race that have been politically divided?

The Human Factions mod provides 8 human races and 2 Thal-like races.
You can get it in the library.

In the future I plan to add a map and/or scenario, and mabye even a campaign. Watch this space.

Comments and constructive critisism welcomed.

How do I get images to appear in my posts?

By not linking to your desktop Matt...

Post the images on a filehosting service and link to that.

I've had an idea for something very similar in mind for a while now, though it'd be a bit different. It'd be set somewhat further into the future, races would be alliances and i'd want to add political parties/systems too.

Why Austria? Why the powerless Japanese Emperor as head? And why Napolitano instead of Prodi?

It's not Austria, it's the EU, a collection of all the other EU members.
I used Napolitano instead of Prodi because he is the President, isn't he?

Thanks for your comments, I will implement some of them in a future update.

Also, would you prefer it if I used real politicians or fictional ones?

Finland is the current Council of the EU, presided by European Council Matti Vanhanen. Perhaps a better face would be José Barroso, head of the European Commission, the executive body of the EU (Portguese if you wondered).

Koizumi and Prodi are both head of government, which seems a more realistic qualification than head of state. After all, you chose Merkel instead of Köhler too.

What about Russia and India? They seem far more likely candidates to get into space than Italy. Also, think of Indonesia, Pakistan, etc.

The mod seems awfully Eurocentric now.

I might downgrade some of the european nations to minors in the future.

Can anyone supply me with other Thalan portraits to use for minor races?
Reply #13 Top
I've reconsidered which nations would be likely to get into space and have drawn up a list of nations to use in the future update. I am also going to include some minors.

Major Races
American Union
British Empire
Russian Federation
People's Republi of China
Republic of Korea (South)
Japanese Empire
Indian Republic
Xith Empire
Thalan Republic

Minor Races
French Empire
German Federation
European Union
Indonesia
Brazil
Mexico

I'm still looking for other portraits to use for Thalan minors.

I wondered, on what did you base your list? Population, GDP, military expenditures, etc? Or did you just figure these would be the ones?

I came up with a set of 10 that includes pretty much the entire world:

1. Great-China: China, Taiwan, Philipines, part of Indochina
2. Great-India: India, Nepal, Burma, part of Indochina
3. Coalition of the Willing: United States, Great-Britain, Australia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi-Arabia, Israël, Poland, etc.
4. Islamitic Union: Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, North-Africa (Islamitic part), etc.
5. Great-Japan: Japan & Korea [North-Korea has been conquered and reunited with the South]
6. Pan-Russian Union: The former Soviet Union, Serbia, Rumenia, Moldavia
7. South-American Populist Union: Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Mexico
8. South-American Free Trade Union: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, etc.
9. European Union: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Chech Republic, Austria, Malta, Greece, Great-Netherlands (Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg), Scandinavian Federation (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark), Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia
10. Sub-Saharan Union: Congo, South-Africa, rest of Southern Africa (Christian part)

I'm thinking of including a plant race and wanted to know what people thought about my skills in Paint:

what about Alaska!? you must have Alaska! (I'm not from Alaska, don't think I am, not the there is something bad in Alaska but i'm from CA...)
Reply #18 Top
Isn't Alaska just a US state though?
Reply #19 Top
To the average american, the only difference between a state and a country is the U.S. military usually won't invade a state...usually.


ooo...did I just say that?

I've decided to include a campaign. Any thoughts and/or ideas for it wanted.

What about doing when they first left Earth, or when they first found each other again, you could make it so your the thalans whatching them expand into the galaxy, these are just some ideas you could use.

what did you mean by other?
Are the black nights the equivilant to the Dread Lords?

Awesome Mod!!! Haha.

I've just been making a similar mod myself, although using images of the the puppets from Team America.

I've only added Kim Jong Il and the DPRK so far, because I've hit a brick wall over the dialogue. I copied the GC2Conversations file to my mod folder and edited it, but it still shows the default race text. I don't want Kim sounding like the Korx! He should always open by saying Herro!

In a way, the Black Knights are equivalent of the Dread Lords and will faeture in the campaign.
