civ editor in civ3

A week or 2 ago I read an firaxis article saying the game will only have 16 tribes but they said the game will come with the option of creating a tribe from scratch. Does anyone have info on this???

dan mahagana already said this is a feature but there isn't much info on it

This idea seems to have been stolen from Empire Earth, who first announced a unique civ-editor last year... but it is a good idea, however all civs should be made uniquely with different attributes.

Warlikeness
Infastructure
etc.
(I discussed this last month so I don't want to get into it again so soon...)

This isn't a stolen feature, it's a continuation of providing editor tools that started with Civ2's .txt files and continued up through the SMAX faction editors.

Oh... Yes... sorry I forgot about Alpha Centauri's Faction Editor.

Hopefully the Civ Editor will be included with the game and not the add-on.
