Re: The tutorial scenarios are amazing

Vic (developer) recently updated the homepage of VRDesigns. In that process it seems that the atwiki that this was a part of got removed/deleted. I guess you need to contact him, to hear what has happened to it. Sorry.

Re: ExM is Here.

Cancerian are a form of Crablike beings that have heavy carapaces and can live both in the Sea and on land. This has meant that they have a quite unique set of requirements to be able to thrive on other planets, than their home one, that is Oceanic planets.

They have a fascination, in my mind, for ...

Re: ExM is Here.

The Florian also spread via converting other planets to theirs. In their case, they do it by spreading seeds that infect the population and thus converts them. They themselves are a sort of meat eating plants, that can move around. Sounds terrifying.

They too are quite different to play, I think ...

Re: ExM is Here.

The Grey Order is a kind of sect, which spreads via nanoprobes, if I am not mistaken, and includes many races. The first were A.R.O.M. that found a planet with a dormant nanovirus, which then infected them, and created the race. They are orderly and play very differently from other races.

Because ...

Re: ExM is Here.

Aquatic jellyfish like beings, the Jellutions , are focused on research mainly, and live mostly under water. Though they are able to be on land too, they don't prefer it.

They have access to building Seabed Dwellings . These buildings can only be built on Oceanic worlds, and give some security. As ...

Re: ExM is Here.

The Teyes are an insect like three eyed penguin bird like race. They scavenge for their part of the flock. What would be more natural than giving them a Marketplace where they can trade trinkets and shiny things that they didn't know they needed. This marketplace provides great entertainment value ...

Re: ExM is Here.

The Hoon Yon and Scourge I'll describe at the same time, as they are very very similar. They are a partially conscious race, that lets their cores control most of their population's actions. They do not have any pshycic abilities, thus, they are more or less a machine horde.

Re: ExM is Here.

The Unn are a race that is bioenhanced, and they are highly customized we are told. Also they are the only race that are pirates. As such they start (ordinarily) without a planet, and have base ships, that they can move around to make their range greater. They also get a victory condition that ...

Re: ExM is Here.

The Cryokon are a strange species. They enjoy the cold, and have evolved on cold planets. They look and sound somewhat like multi trunk elephants. Regardless I chose to focus on the advantages that the cold could give them.

They have new buildings. They can build a Cryoresearch center , that gives ...

Re: ExM is Here.

I see the Linkin as a proud warrior race, that believes in combat and honor are connected. I have not played them, and that may be why I have only given them two buildings, where one is an upgrade to the other.

They have a new Facility called Proving Grounds . It is a form of arena where they ...

Re: ExM is Here.

Re: ExM is Here.

The Ancient Race of Machines (A.R.O.M.) , are a very interesting race. They have individuality and some would say a very strange fluctuating personality. One thing is sure they love big projects. They have three new facilities like the Qa Qa do. These are the Space Elevator, a Nanobot controller ...

Re: ExM is Here.

Xspectdrada are known for being self centered, and full of themselves, as they believe they are an elder race, the oldest one, and they constantly seek knowledge of the past, that has been lost in their once Empire.

Re: ExM is Here.

Up next: the Qa Qa .

These beings live partially in hyperspace. The game does not really reflect this, when it comes to the buildings they can make, so I decided to do something about that. When you look at the Hyperspace research it mainly shows stuff to do with speed, and black holes. So it had ...

Re: ExM is Here.

The next race on this journey are the Klurgu

I consider these to be a wild and destructive race, bent on the destruction of everyone and everything. They did after all do this to their own planet. They are aggressive, and like to show that off. They like to inflict pain and suffering. Don't trust ...

Re: ExM is Here.

The changes I made to the individual races reflects how I see them. So it seems prudent to describe them in short before telling any changes, and if there are none, then why. I will do this on a race per race post. That means there will be quite a few, mostly smaller posts. The reason for this is ...

Re: ExM is Here.

A deeper look .

These are changes that affect some races, but not just one.

There are 4 "happiness" buildings instead of the Entertainment Center. These are Safarium Galactica , Holosuites , Virtual Reality Entertainment Network and the Pleasure Dome .
