Aw yeah! Looking mighty interesting. New race traits, bonuses/penalties and victory conditions seem to add a lot of variety. Also, Ketarovs seem to have new special goverment. Wonder if there's other new goverments apart from that.

What are the pictures of the aliens on the right, are they the only ones that can be assimilate by your race. I do not see the Shakturi.

Great! [:)]

Interrogative... during gameplay, do you know the other races goals (race victory conditions) automatically, only know them by spying, or never know them until the end of the game?

My guess is that you know races victory conditions when you meet them.

Hmmmm, what's that icon under "Impregnable Structures" on the tech tree? Looks like a man in a uniform. Maybe some sort of character training facility?

Also nice to see the missile tech getting some love. Keep 'em coming! Can't wait...

i really like the potential in these victory conditions, hopefully the beta testers give them a good work-out to help balance them out.

Disallowed Technology, Woooohooooo! [&o]

I know it's only a small thing, but this is another step towards unique tech trees. In fact, if we were allowed to add a list of techs to this, then it would be perfect for me.

This is looking really sharp! [8D]
It looks like each race/group of people will now have a unique national flavor... [:)][:)][:)]

And personal victory conditions...
And characters... [8D][8D][8D]

Looking on the "Start a New GAme: The Galaxy" Screenshot on the product place:

Star Amount
Physical Size


Now we can have small full packed galaxies and nearly empty huge galaxies...

Would love to play a 100 stars 15x15 sector game :)
