Help! Can someone point me in the right direction? I'd like to create my own personal faction, where do I start? And I can use it in single player mode, right? Thanks

Copy a faction file, any one will do, rename it and change the values. Or use ACEdit, available at the Nexus I believe.
Next copy some pcx files (or use the blank ones with ACEdit) and find some nice pictures for your leader and logo cut and paste them in, remembering to alter the colours to match the games 256 colour palette. call them [faction].pcx, [faction]2.pcx and [faction]3.pcx, where [faction] is the name of your [faction].txt file put them all in the games directory then load the faction when you choose your faction. All done!

Hey, sounds great but what if you only have Version 1.0. And can erase them from the load faction. If so how ?
