Race

The first link will use the default race, the other one gives the option to modify your Race to take bonuses or maluses in your attributes. This will give advantages and disadvantages in certain areas of the game.

Creating a Race

When creating a race, a player can choose to change his/her attributes positively or negatively. All players start with an attribute offset equal to zero. Players can decide then to increase one attribute, but must choose another to decrease in order to maintain an offset equal to zero. For example, the ability to study science can be increased by 16%, which will result in an offset of -2, and this offset must then be reduced to zero by choosing a decrease in another attribute, for example Growth by -14%. You can see the percentage changes and the related offsets while setting your own race.

• Growth: how fast your Population will grow
• Science: how fast Research of Science is
• Culture: how soon you can colonize new planets
• Production: affects Production Point output on all planets
• Speed: how fast Fleets travel between Planets and Star Systems
• Attack: affects Attack Value
• Defense: affects Defense Value

Player Level growth also depends on Race. Each level above the default (+0) setting for Speed, Attack and Defense will give 0.1% increase per day.

• Trader Race: Ability to accept Trade Agreements for free;
• Research Lab 12 for their first planet.
