Status: offline 		I guess this is primarily addressed to Erik Rutins, but others can chip in on their thoughts. I'm loving Legends, and I'm really intrigued by all the different race victory conditions....Is there any chance in an upcoming patch that we could choose our own victory conditions instead of having to go with what is offered? (for the race conditions, I mean)

Please consider this--thanks!

You find it in the race folder. Put it into customisation!

A short list:


Victory Conditions


1: Control your homeworld
2: Control X percent of Your Native colonies in the galaxy
3: Control the X largest X colonies in the galaxy
4: Control the most ruins
5: Control the most population
6: Have the happiest population
7: Control the most homeworlds
8: Build the biggest capital ship
9: Get the most spaceports
10: Get the most mining stations
...
...

The X can be replaced by secondary features. You can read them below that section.

quote:


Victory Conditions 1-5
'Type: 0=None, 1-58 (types defined in Modding Guide)
'Value: value used to modify condition, e.g. percentage threshold
'Proportion of Total: percentage proportion of overall race victory value - all conditions should total to 100%
'Additional Data: any extra info required by condition
'            - PlanetTypes: 0=None, 1=Continental, 2=MarshySwamp, 3=Ocean, 4=Desert, 5=Ice, 6=Volcanic
'            - ShipTypes: 0=None, 1=CapitalShip, 2=Carrier, 3=ResupplyShip
'            - CreatureTypes: 0=None, 1=GiantKaltor, 2=SpaceSlug, 3=SandSlug, 4=Ardilus, 5=SilverMist
'            - ResearchIndustry: 0=None, 1=Weapons, 2=Energy, 3=HighTech
'            - Wonder: 0=None, 1=Universal Hive, 2=Galactic Archives, 3=Lava Palace Resort, 4=Underwater Palace


Looks like Nedrear was faster with his reply

Status: offline 		Cool, thanks for the info! I didn't know that.

So if I want to play as the Humans with my own race victory conditions, do I modify that race file, and just put that one file in a folder in the customization folder? So then everything else would be default?

Also, Erik, if this could go in the game itself, that would be awesome! Giving players choices (with an easy and accessible interface) is always a Good Thing!

Hmmm... I tried the above and nothing changed. I must be doing something wrong...?
