No need to apologize; you've done nothing wrong!

Wanna see something funny, though?

Also just a reminder that we'll have a G2G Major Faction creation contest, just like we had one for Endless Legend and Endless Space before. So keep these ideas sharp and these minds sharper.

No cat people allowed.

Will that count as one of the initial eight factions or will it be added as an extra (or DLC) after release?

Also - if I may ask - obviously not all of the races from ES1 are going to be present in the initial release of ES2 (at least as major factions). I realise that you at Amplitude will probably not be able to say whether any particular race will or will not) return at this point, but is there any interest within the team for possibly bringing back some (or all) of the ones that aren't going to make the final cut for the base game at a later date?

The major faction will be part of the eight major factions, available at full release. It won't (obviously) be part of the Early Access.

Can't comment on this at this point... sorry!

I dislike the Hisshos a little cause they are described as evil. I imagine them as much to friendly and altruistic Population with Hard military who has to protect them before themselve, yes I know the Hissho are the Invention of somebody else but i like it to imagine and make more background in my Head cause there are also other stories or picture of Bird people for example at Hyronimus Bosch-paintings, cause i like Birds.

I don't remember where I read it, but I distinctly remember having read that the Good/Neutral/Evil axis in Endless Space was meant to be read as Pacifist/Neutral/Warlike instead. So the Hissho are not evil; they just view war as more desirable, because it involves Honor, Glory, Sacrifice, Victory, and a whole bunch of other things you might find in a Japanese death poem. The Sophons are "good" in this regard because they're less interested in blowing you up than they are in blowing up their own labs (in the name of SCIENCE!).

Fair enough - I expected that might be the case! Thank you for replying anyway!

Guess it's time to start coming up with ideas for the contest...

I'd like to see some sort of AI minor faction that were originally created by one of the major factions for exploration purposes but have long been forgotten by it's creators. Sort of like if we launched Voyager into space with a rudimentary AI, and over the course of thousands years modified itself to the point of limited sentience.

Also, on a more humorous note, a friend of mine and I were coming up for ideas of minor factions for a sci-fi game we were working on and as a tribute to Harold Ramis we came up with a faction called the Heralds of Ramis, who are from the second planet of the Citi system :P

Speaking off unique ES heroes, there was also that Corp/Admin hero that looked like a Dinosaur. Never read his(Or her) description, but maybe those guys will be a minor faction too.

Strangely now i dislike the idea of Catpeople equal how adorable and creepy they are, there was text written but i was unable to read it because it was cancelled with a line so its prohibited to read. Maybe it was some kind of subliminal influence. Adoreable... ?

It would be cool to have a faction which various different lifeforms live in a weird symbiotic relationship with each other. Imagine one creature, but its body parts are actually different individual life forms connected together by an electric/chemical/psychic network.

For example an animal with weak physical strength but great perception would serve as its eyes, nose and ears; a parrot like creature would be in charge of communicating with other species through verbal means; a strong animal would serve as its legs or wings; a bunch of little worms or some sort of tentacle creature would be its fingers when precision is required; and a plant/vine would be its torso and nerves to communicate the will of different parts to one another.

Fun fact: big Sowers are actually smaller Sowers stacked together!

Kind of like Vincent Adultman, come to think of it...

There are already Aliens which look like Chimaeras made from animals of the Ediacarian-Kambrian-Ordoviciam-Period like Sea-Scorpions. "Air Brushed" and Sculptured by an popular Artist called Hans Ruedi Gieger.
