[quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="62" id="3483815"]snip[/quote] You do realise, that the game is still in development, right? A lot of the game mechanics haven't been implemented yet, and what's already in is still being worked on. I don't think it's fair, to pass judgement just yet. Also, regarding Ideologies not making a huge difference, have seen the last dev stream ? The devs were

You need to research the tech Fortification in order to unlock the Military Ring module. It's right after Planetary Invasion.

[quote who="mormegil" reply="23" id="3483772"]As for the approval question above, yes, i see what you mean, and this is the type of thing we will be doing with abilities.

[quote who="mormegil" reply="19" id="3483723"]I did not mean to say they would all act the same, I meant the core math behind it would be the same for all races, some races will for example get bonus for keeping approval high, etc. For the beta we are working on balancing the basic approval feel. In fact in Beta 2 we will be bringing in Abilities, which will be much like Supper Abilities, each race will have 2, this will allow custom races to mix and match Abilities. (And make b

I was hoping that approval would work mechanically different for some races (maybe due to Super Abilities, or the like), but oh well. Perhaps in an expansion? Anyhow, thanks for the answers.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="2" id="3483686"]it is kind of hard to choose slave labor from the Drengin, but all actions you take are benevolent.[/quote] I see no problem with this. The Drengin are certainly able to behave benevolently towards sentient lifeforms. Slaves, however, are not sentient. They are just a piece of biological machinery. On second thought, the Drengin don't consider any race, but thems

I only reposted them, because I wasn't sure, if you would look at last weeks post for questions.

I guess I just quote myself : [quote who="Gaunathor" reply="16" id="3481862"] What is the current status of the other four major races? Will approval affect all races the same, or will there be some races who are affected by it differently? For example, a high population has a smaller effect on a race, while being in the red has a much higher effect on it, or the race isn't affected by appro

To quote the tech "A History of Benevolence" from the Altarian tech tree in TotA: "Physically, Altarians look identical to humans. They are not, however, humans. They are not genetically compatible and do not share the same DNA. But they are similar enough in DNA to ensure that there is some unknown connection between the two."

However, I don't recall, if that was ever explicitly stated anywhere. Which doesn't necessarily have to mean anything. Unlike popular believe, I don't know every single dev-post.

I had hoped for at least all of the GC2 races, plus a few more.[/quote] Considering that the Drath and Korx have been basically wiped out as civilisations in the campaign this was already not going to happen. You also have to keep in mind, that all the races are going to start out with unique tech trees. That didn't happen in GalCiv 2 until TotA.

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="10" id="3482769"] NO NO NO N NO NO NO NO NO NO. IT DOES NOT REPRESENT MULTIPLE SHIPS NOR DID IT EVER. IIRC even frogboy said it was not true.[/quote] Quote, please.
