Perhaps i missed it, but did they take out the ability to create your own faction? I cant seem to find it anymore.
They are apparently re-working it as a Workshop feature, they felt it was becoming too complex to try and cram into the game creation process.
Hey,
Because they feel it is too deep and complex to just add into the starting a game process, and they feel that players don't want to click as much, they moved it solely to the modding arena. If you hunt around the mods area you'll find some custom made tools that should sort out the xml stuff for you, though many are in their infancy. I'll list some posts for you below.

https://forums.elementalgame.com/389940 - Nitey47's Custom Faction Creation guide (goes through xml and everything you need to do, also very useful)
Hope this helps you!

Double Post sorry - Deleted.
It's also worth mentioning here that creating your own custom faction using the xml stuff outlined in Nitey47's guide is a really good way to ease yourself into working with xml, because it unlocks a huge amount of possibilities.
Enjoy,
