You don't need to settle for Cybernetic Consciousness graphics, given some basic copy/paste shooping skills: http://alphacentauri2.info/My%20Custom%20Factions/Custom%20Factions3.html (http://alphacentauri2.info/My%20Custom%20Factions/Custom%20Factions3.html)

No demon or vampire factions are planned, I'm afraid.

When I play the Slayers I usually have them replace the Believers and swap out the Spartans for the Pirates.

I found a faction rating system online and I now think the Slayer Organisation is seriously overpowered. Will need some adjusting.

Title: Re: Custom Faction: Slayer Organization
Post by: Yitzi on April 27, 2017, 11:16:57 PM

Some ideas for adjusting:
-Remove the talent and morale bonuses in RULES.  Those are in addition to the faction bonuses, not instead, so they give a heavy contribution to the OP-ness.
-Remove the TALENT bonus ("quirky and eccentric" doesn't really equate to TALENT); instead, give them a free rec commons in addition to the hologram theater.
-For "takes its toll", replace the GROWTH penalty with a setting of 2 for drones (under rules); that will make every other citizen be a drone.
-Replace their RESEARCH with 2 research bonus per base, and replace their PROBE bonus with mind control immunity and hypnotic trance for all units (psi resistance).

The result is then a faction that has excellent stability and research in small bases, but has big stability issues in larger bases.  Together with their military bonuses, they'd do well as a momentum (rush) faction, but find the later game more difficult.
