Races

There are 6 predefined races to choose from each with their own strengths and weaknesses, preferred planet types and gravity, and AI preferences for war and peace. preferences are particularly important as any other than Medium-G will result in penalties on the most common planets until offsetting buildings have been researched and constructed, though the home world will always have an ideal biome and gravity level.

Custom races can also be created and may be selected randomly by the AI to play.

The table below summarizes each race's key attributes for comparison. Click on the link for each for more information. Biomes are listed with ideal first and tolerable in parenthesis.

Cerixx and Palacean require the Natural Law expansion.
