Is it possible to group multiple species?
I had to add species to creatures in my mod to allow Corruption Cards to work with it properly, but it introduces infighting among creatures i don't want infighting (but also do not want to gain the same card effects)

You can change species within the monster's species property, or you can also change it in ACS with APROP_Species usin' a custom string. Change the species of the monsters you want to group together with a custom species. Oh, and you can also customize damage type to exclude specific species of monsters. There's a post that describes that particular method in more detail viewtopic.php?f=122&t=66538.

Well, in that case, that is why I posted the link to the topic about damage type (see above post). You can customize an actor's damage type to correspond to another actor's damage immunity. In other words, one species group has Alpha damage type, and another species group has immunity against Alpha damage type.
