You believe that your future lies elsewhere, in great living towers you can build to reach the heavens. The forest has long been your home, but its wild spirits threaten to drown you. Provides the ability to detect opponents' armies in your empire and the adjacent regions, which will be displayed in the form of an exclamation mark.įormed through ancient bonds with the beasts of Auriga, heightened senses tell when predators or prey are close. As such, the affinities are going to be organized by which faction they come from, and have the associated units, Dust Eclipse effect, and quest attached to them. For example, taking The Sharing trait comes with the visuals, units, Dust Eclipse effect, and main quest of the Wild Walkers, and there is no way to change this. They are what the faction is built around, and each one comes with the visual style, units, effects during a Dust Eclipse, and main quest of the faction it's from attached. For example, Businessmen 1 costs 8 points and gives +10% on Cities, Businessmen 2 costs 16 and gives +20%, Businessmen 3 costs 24 and gives +30%.Īffinities are the "core" trait of the faction. Generally, upgrading one of these traits from level 1 to level 2 will double the effect and the cost, and upgrading from level 2 to level 3 will increase both by the same amount.
The trait of higher level will replace the lower level one.
For these kinds of traits, you must have level 1 of the trait to select level 2, and must have level 2 to select level 3 if there is one.
Some of these custom-specific traits also have 2 or more "levels", each of increasing intensity. If instead a trait is labeled as "custom", then it is a trait that does not appear in any of the core factions, but is available for use in creating custom factions. An extension of this is that a faction with the Appetite for Dust trait cannot take any traits involving Food, and a faction with the Science Phobic trait cannot take any traits involving Science.Īside from the Affinities, all traits will be shown with the core faction that they came from. A less obvious example is that a faction with the Diplomatic Pressure trait is unable to also have the Pitiless trait, as the inability to be in a state of peace or alliance from the Pitiless trait would contradict the ability to force peace or alliance from the Diplomatic Pressure trait. For example, a custom faction cannot have the Fast Travelers trait, which increases unit movement speed, and the Slow Travelers trait, which decreases movement speed, at the same time, as they would simply cancel each other out.
In general, it is impossible to take two traits that contradict each other. If a trait has any prerequisites it will be mentioned in under the trait's effects as there are only a few that have prerequisites, but traits with restrictions are far more common and varied, and so those restrictions will not be specified. While most of the traits in the faction editor are available in any situation, there are some that have specific restrictions or prerequisites. When making a custom faction, 80 points are available to purchase traits with different traits have different costs depending on their potency, and some negative traits have a negative trait value, allowing for the purchase of more positive traits than would normally be available. Each of the core factions has a specific set of Traits to go with it, but it is also possible to create custom factions based on the traits of the core ones, as well as a number of traits that don't appear in the core factions. Traits are the properties of factions that distinguish them from each other in ways beyond appearance.
