The Galaxy Lives On! Distant Worlds, the critically acclaimed 4X space strategy game is back with a brand new 64-bit engine, 3D graphics and a polished interface to begin an epic new Distant Worlds series with Distant Worlds 2. Distant Worlds 2 is a vast, pausable real-time 4X space strategy game. Experience the full depth and detail of turn-based strategy, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game.
Personally 7 races are enough for me. By the time I have found out how they behave in every way, months up to years are gone.
And there is really no need to have more than 7 in the base game.
What I would expect more than numbers, is a well drawn and designed race and behavior that is unique.
Compare this to Planetary Annihilation ONE Race, only different Commanders (ACUs)... Shame on them!
