I mentioned this in another thread, but it deserves its own. Someone needs to make a Warhammer 40K mod complete with Battlefleet Gothic ship designs for the various races. Death to the False Emperor!
Doubt I'll be getting to ship designs or anything but if you just need some faction and leader pictures just tell me what one's and where to get them and I'll convert them over for you. Links to the pics are fine. Might need instructions on logos though as I never got into 40K much. If it's just crop and convert to PNG though I got you. Just point.
The best pics seem to be on the wiki. Definitely need the Imperium of Man, with the God Emperor of Mankind. Could do the five flavours of Chaos: Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, Undivided (use Abaddon or Horus for leader), with their various Gods. I'd use their Marks rather than their Stars for logos.
The Eldar and Dark Eldar. Orks, they don't really have a diplomatic photo, heh heh heh. Necrons, these are perfect synthetics. The Tyranids would be cool but wouldn't make much sense as a Gal Civ race. And the Tau of course, make sure to search both Tau and Tau Empire.
Also, please provide me with step by step instructions on how to implement them in my game. I know it's probably pretty simple but just in case, how to remove them too please. I will click that karma button so hard when I see your post. Thank you!
What I can do is make pictures and you'll just drop them in your folder. From there you'll have to make the custom races themselves from the in-game creation tool. I just make faction pictures. LeaderBG's, FG's, Logos, and Portraits. I'll see what I can do about knocking a few out tonight. I do like the Necrons, but yeah I just do pictures bro.
Just pictures is fine. I'm happy to make the factions myself. Mayhaps just c/p me the file location with XXX for my username so I know where to drop safely? I'm always super concerned about messing with anything beyond install/uninstall for fear of breaking things.
Also, I don't have Dropbox. I'll PM you my email address if that's cool.
Np man I can zip them up and throw on Filefront or something too. Not sure if you need dropbox just to download from dropbox, just for uploads/hosting. They'll be in a "Faction" folder you'll just drop in \Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\ on top of your current Factions folder you already have there. It might ask to over-write, just say yes, and it'll add the new pics.
That's cool. Feel free to post a link here for everyone else. I can't be the only 40K fan. It's TBS, IRL.
Here's a quick Imperial Faction to at least get you started tonight, my friend. I'll see if I can't knock out the Necrons and Orcs tomorrow dependent on time. This one comes with 1 background, 1 foreground, 2 Logos, 1 portrait.http://www.gamefront.com/files/25046480/Imperial+Faction+40K.zip
For The Emperor!!
Sweetness. For those who don't want to futz with zip files or annoying surveys to get to the pictures, here you go.
Glad you like them. Cropping the Emperor took longer than expected. I cropped him once at a zoomed in res, then when I put his layer over to the PNG it took the whole white background with it I had already cropped out and I had to repeat the process. Not sure why exactly. If not for that though I probably could have knocked out another last night.Edit: Wait, Gamefront made you do a survey? My bad. I'll throw up a different link if I can next time. I have a photobucket as well and we can test a dropbox link to see if you can DL from them without needing their app.
Lord_Proteus beat me to doing the Orcs for you. Here's his link: https://forums.galciv3.com/466600/page/1/
I'll see if I can't knock out the Necrons later today sometime. If I get a few more done which ones would you want first aside from the Necrons?
Really looking forward to Chaos. As may have been obvious I am a betrayer!
Well, my nickname beeing Abbadon since literally ages, I would LOVE if someone was to design the Chaos race...
(Abaddon the despoiler is the general of the W40k Chaos Army)
Seriously, if you do it, RavenX, I promise that I will burn entire planets in your name. There will be slave worlds all around the word chanting "RavenX, RavenX" until they die of exhaustion. My Nurgle troops will name disease after you. Slanesh demons will orgy in your name.
They will then all unite under my banner and crush the Imperial Faction that you designed

On a side note, I do not know whether one can "edit" a race created by someone else.
If not, then I would love if you could make the Chaos race in the following line that they deserve, which is rather "violent"
Zealot and another war trait.
Then lots of plus in ship / battles / soldiering...
I guess in terms of balance / reality, they would be weak in economy, diplomacy...
Thanks !
He just does pictures. If you follow the instructions he laid out above and drop the images in the right folder they'll show up as available portraits when you create the race using the ingame editer. Blood for the Blood God!
I started some Necrons last night, should have them up tonight some time (got some other stuff I have to do today as well IRL). Chaos looks like a modified Empire, what's their Symbol?
As a token of my gratitude, I just wiped out an entire planet.
You can find the chaos symbol on the wiki:
http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Chaos (chaos undivided, but the other symbols do look nice)
And some cool pics of Abbadon on its wiki:
you could also use the symbol of the black legion :
http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Legion
(but some would object that if we design chaos, it should be chaos...)
I should have been more clear on the various factions. Chaos is the only 'race' worthy of doing five different portraits for. There is Chaos Undivided whose main champion in the 40K universe is Abbaddon the Despoiler, the right hand 'man' of Horus the Betrayer whom died in battle with his father the God Emperor of Mankind during the Horus Heresy. A seven year long battle that tore the Imperium of Man in half, pitting brother against brother, more than ten thousand years prior to the 40K setting. 40K literally means the years are in the 40,000 AD/CE range.
Chaos is the unifying reality of the four opposing Chaos Gods. There is Nurgle, God of Disease, Decay, and Destruction; His Legion is the Death Guard. Then there is Khorne, God of Blood, War, and Murder, His Legion is the World Eaters. And Slaanesh, God of Pleasure, Passion, and Decadence; His Legion is the Emperor's Children. Finally, there is Tzeentch, God of Change, Evolution, Intrigue, and Sorcery; His Legion is the Thousand Sons. Each God is bent on warping reality to their ends using their own special brand of evil.
Now, each of the four main Chaos Legions has their own leader and champion that any 40K enthusiast would recognise. However, for all of them, except Chaos Undivided, I think the images you can find of the four gods would be more interesting as race leaders.
Most of the other races I mentioned: Necrons, Orks, Tau; don't have any such divisions. The main exception to this are the Eldar, whom have like sixteen factions but only the two major ones 'Eldar' and 'Dark Eldar', which I mentioned. Hopefully this will help you understand our requests a little better. If you want more info on the who and why, just drop in a post.
Really looking forward to the Necrons. Cyber Space Ghouls/Zombies are scaryawesome! Thanks again!
Edit- And if you really want I can even harvest all the image links and post them up for you, let me know.
So, I couldn't resist. Here are the urls for the various images. I left out the Imperium, Chaos Undivided, Necrons, and Orks for obvious reasons. Some of these may not be the best for cutting into portraits. Feel free to find better ones, these are just to get you started. Though some of them are pretty sweet. @Abaddon64 same goes for you if you know of better images than these.
Nurgle, Nurgle Mark
Khorne, Khorne Mark
Slaanesh, Slaanesh Mark
Tzeentch, Tzeentch Mark
Eldar, Eldar Rune
Dark Eldar, Dark Eldar Rune
Tau, Tau Sigil
Here's the Necrons, Hosted on Photobucket. I made a main Photobucket Folder and inside that folder are folders named after the folder the PNGs go in. So, if it's in the LeaderFGs on the bucket, it goes in your LeaderFGs folder in \Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Factions. I'll place more pics in those folders as time goes on so keep an eye on them.

These are all in PNG so you could just click on them and save just make sure you put them in the right folders. I'll try to get to Chaos tonight but I'm not sure if I can. May take a day or two considering lack of free time.Enjoy.
No rush, just the fact that you are doing this is wonderful. I'd rather you take your time than it be a rush job anyway. You rock!
Re-adjusted the Necron foreground pic. Gave him a green outline and lowered him down some so it didn't look like he was floating in mid air. He looks pretty bad ass with that second background. You can also now see the orb he's holding and his scythe. Might have to adjust the Imperial foreground as well.
My choice would be Khorne then if you'll only do one. Though I think the picture for Tzeentch is pretty sweet.
That yellow aura is awesome btw. Despite the fact the Emperor professed against his Godhood, prior to his interment in the Golden Throne for Eternity, his cult managed to turn him into one. So he'd only ever of had that glow in pictures from later millennia. Though it was always said that he was so awesome to behold that people would be struck dumb at the sight of him. Regardless, super cool.
Here's some Khorne Logos: Think that's it for tonight. I'll squeeze some more in tomorrow.Edit: Fixed.
