Any tricks up your sleeve?

Perhaps requesting this as an option for Yitzi's patch?

Even once I'm ready, you'd have to decide how you want the game to decide which factions to put into which groups...

Yeah. At first glance, the only broad way the game as it is distinguishes between 'groups' are the alien and aquatic flags.

Yeah. At first glance, the only broad way the game as it is distinguishes between 'groups' are the alien and aquatic flags.

It also has specific factions mentioned, i.e. whoever's under the file name CARETAKE is disqualified from building the VoP or Ascent*, and I'm sure that the filename FUNGBOY is what determines all the special stuff for the Cult.

*Well, disqualified from the Ascent in any versions of my patch which fixed the bug that made it not happen.

You're right, of course. I simply didn't mention the two alien factions and the fungboy tag because they're file-specific. The Usurper file tag seems linked to the second alien planetfall intro as far as I can tell. Whatever faction file name with the alien flag (besides Usurpers and Fungboy that is) seems to default to the first alien planetfall intro.
