I'm trying out a custom civ (built in .90, now using in .91) to see if it plays ok.  I have a question about Factions.  I thought the assigned factions would be determined by the base civ you choose, but this doesn't seem to be the case.  I used Human & didn't get the same as the Terrans.  So I'm wondering if there is something that controls this or is it just random for Custom Civs?

Also wondering if we'll be able to eventually mod a totally custom civ in the game by adding a new race with selected Factions attached & a custom home star system, or will this have to be done by tweaking XML files like it was in GalCiv III?
