Race suggestions for our upcoming 4x.
Shrugging Khan:
Whoa whoa whoa...so we will be able to play the Zenith Remnant and subjugate those filthy spirelings?
I'LL HAVE A HUNDRED COPIES, PLEASE.

True, I'm not the biggest fan of the Skelebots. I've taken them out. Having a race of ghosts, as mentioned in another thread, would be really fun and interesting. Could be a super different way to play the game, we'll see. That might have to be expansion material, or an NPC race, not sure.
Having the Hydrals or not is something that did bug me a lot. On the one hand I did want to show them, on the other hand that race is, well, special. And I agree this should be taking place long after TLF. But actually probably before AI War by several eons. Interesting timeline we're building up here.
The guys from Tidalis would definitely be fun, but they don't really have names or a consistent style of being, and are quite cartoony. I thought a lot about ways to tie that in but couldn't think of anything.

I'm also taking out humans, because if the timeline is TLF -> This Game -> AI War, as makes sense, then humans would not exist yet.

Oh my, I have been looking forward to them :-\.
For some wonky reason I like them :).
But on the other hand their aesthetics are fairly similar to the Andors, so there's that...

I am ok with this. Humans as a race in a space 4X is just kind of "eh."
They end up being the race to which every other race is compared. On the other hand, they can be used to compare every other race during balancing.
