Customization?

[Gunbird]

Thinking of picking this game up, but was having some trouble finding information on customization options. I watched a couple reviews and they all used pre-baked factions and unit setups. Can you make your own faction? What about the for the AI to use? Can you chose your own color scheme? Can you name armies or units or cities?

I like to personalize stuff, and especially coming off a Galactic Civilizations binge, I was hoping for a good level of customization!

Thanks!

Customisation is down to units. You research a base unit, such as a tank, then equip researched weapons and armour.

You can make your own factions through xmls. The AI can play factions created like this. Faction color is also defined in the xml.

Unit designs, units and cities can be renamed freely during the game.

Awesome. Is there is a wiki or page you can direct me to show what files need to be edited?

There is a wiki page on that exact topic, but it doesn't look like anyone ever finished writing it, so I'm not sure it'll be much help:
