Is there a way

[Kshar]

To edit which leaders/sponsors go for certain affinity preferences?

Thanks!

There appear to be unused Flavors for the affinities. If they work, you can add FLAVOR_HARMONY, FLAVOR_PURITY, or FLAVOR_SUPREMACY to the Leader_Flavors table with a Flavor preference of 0-10.

Thanks mate. Three questions:

1. The files at this location right: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth\assets\Gameplay\XML\Leaders

2. Does one need to do anything else to edit it in, or just copy/paste one of the other flavors and add it at the end like you wrote.
E.G.
<Row>
<LeaderType>LEADER_AFRICAN_UNION</LeaderType>
<FlavorType>FLAVOR_PURITY</FlavorType>
<Flavor>10</Flavor>
</Row>

^ The above would make the African Union go purity 10 out of 10 times?

3. Anyway to tell if it is working without just playtesting?

thanks mate!

1. You could edit the file as you suggest, or alternatively you could make a mod.

2. I'm not sure about the formula used. It seems to vary depending on the kind of flavor we're talking about. These don't exist in Civ5 for comparison, and they aren't even used in this context in the base game, so they may not work at all. You could try 100 and see what happens.

3. Not that I know of.

Might as well set FLAVOR_SUPREMACY and FLAVOR_HARMONY to "1" as well.....if I understand the AI correctly, setting them to 1 would make those the least "attractive" for that leader

I suppose the chance of a faction going down a certain path depends on the relation between flavour values.

Setting Purity to 9 and Supremacy to 8 would give the former only a slight advantage, compared to, say, setting the latter to something like 3.

But that's just my speculation.

Yeah, the way I input it had no effect. That could be a syntax issue or indeed what you indicate. I may try different styles of flavor input and see.

If you guys test any of this and see favourable results, please do tell.
