New factions

this post is for modders too get ideas from, since i know NOTHING about modding. i couldnt even mod OBLIVION correctly. if youve modded oblivion, then you now know how terrible at modding i am.

now in sins, there are only 3 factions.

tec--good economy

advent--powerful culture

vassari--uber combat

i played galciv, also made by stardock, and loved how there were like, 10 factions. i think sins needs more.

for a few examples:

the vassari's so-called "unseen foe"

a race that has the ultimate tech tree

a race that has more but weaker ships

a race with fewer but more powerful ships

some organic type race (similar to the SW yuzhaan vong, but more fleshy and less rocky)

one who has this god-like character that imbues his servants with all sorts of really weird powers that would be great to micromanage (similar to advent, but not like telepathy)

one that focuses on a complete SPEED----> overhaul

one that specializes in cloaking

i hope these idea's get someone going with a big faction add on

good luck
