Custom Empire Organisation

[The Rival]

I have owned the game since its release, and over these years, have made many different custom Empires. However, since I have made so many (and even added my friends to the list), it has become difficult at times to find the empires I want. I really wish there was a search bar, and ways to select nations to view, such as based on origins used, governments, and even ethics or more. I almost always play solely with custom nations, so I wish there way a better way for me to pick and choose which I want, with me being more eager for some over others. In short, I wish the Custom nation slection screen had more otions and orgnaisation. And when I say I have a lot, I mean A LOT!

I agree and had suggested something along the lines of tags etc to organize the empires better. I also do miss the fact that you cannot easily select what empires you might want to spawn or not if you have a lot of customer empires without developing RSI along the way.
Or creating collections of empires and being able to export/share them.
Lot's of possibilities there to increase the value of the game.

Sort by

1. date created,
2. alphabetical name,
3. government type,
4. ethic,
5. species portrait group,
6. origin

Plus a Search bar for a particular civic or empire name. These are what I'd like to see. Sorting should also be pretty easy to implement, so I hope it comes soon.

I would love this. I would love having like folders or something to close and open for different games. Sometimes I want to do a game where all the aliens are humans. Other games where basically everyone is some form of genocider, other times where genociders are rare. and having ways of organizing it would be great.

I think the UI for creating custom empires needs a radical rework so you can visually see how picking one option affects other choices. Right now you can make an invalid empire and it doesn't tell you until the end.

An Additiona point: I would also love some little features like being able to see if you have already used a species portrait so we don't double up on a species if we didn't want to, I like my empires to feal unique from each other, but having so many makes that a challange at times. Generally, some quality of life features could be added to the Custom Empire designer and Select Empire screens.

The ability to have global and per-playset empires would be greatly appreciated.

The ability to have global and per-playset empires would be greatly appreciated.

For me, even just per-playset + easy-import would be fine.

I can keep a "global" playset and import those empires when appropriate.

But if I'm using a total-conversion mod, then I won't import the general "global" empires.
