1.5: will the number of ethics pops have be moddable?

[BrokenSky]

For example if a mod increases the number of ethics to the point where each pop ought have 2, will it be possible to do?

If so, will faction weightings (+x if x) work for every ethic the pop has?

 

[General Retreat]

Doubt it. Sounds like the single ethic pops are going to be fairly integral to how the new faction system structurally functions. I doubt they'd leave tinkering with that particular element exposed for modders.

As above from what I have read they really find the one ethic per pop integral to the gameplay of the new factions system but I am sure modders can add new ethics which will then become their own factions. But no ethic + ethic = 2 ethics in one pop won't be happening in my opinion.

Would it be possible to make Pops have a Fanatic Ethos, at least?

I'd assume so. Fanatic/Normal are already treated as two different ethics in the game files.

If we really are locked out of giving pops more than one ethic, we could make a "composite" ethic for every combination of individual ones.

from my limited understanding of how they are doing things even if they do let you mod in two ethics modding in hybrid ones may still wind up being the better option

Depends. If they rip the guts out of the "Fanatic" mechanism (it no longer has a POP-level effect so they might as well trash the code responsible for that part), it might not be possible.
