Sophons are amazing. I tried to play as Horatio the other day and quit because the slow research was just too annoying. I like teching up.

I didn't even know it was possible to play as any other race than the united empire smiley: frown

Don't worry, lots of people took a while to find that out :P.



My biggest 'doh' moment was that I'd played about a dozen games before I figured out you could colonise 'in-system', the amount of time and effort I wasted making unnecessary colony ships makes me cringe..

So how do I change race for me?



I had the opposite problem! Didn't realize you were suppose to click colonize with your ships so I just left them at the system waiting for it to become mine :rolleyes:

I found the Sophons to be my favourite at first, but I just finished a game with the Horatio and I have to say that their hero cloning is an incredible asset, as is their population bonus, I am torn between the two.

Nah, its not obvious tbh.

When I first got the game I changed my race like instantly, played a few games and wanted another change. Sat there for 10 mins clicking on things because I couldn't work out how to do it, despite doing it before. Now that's stupid smiley: wink

I also love the Sophons, but I think the free techs and tech bonus are overpowered. And it took me several games to figure out the whole in system colonization thing :/

Same here on the in-system colonization thing.



And Nthing the Sophons love. As long as you can survive long enough for it to take off, Research is God in 4X games.

Sophon Addiction - it takes SUCH a toll. Won't you please sponsor a struggling ES player with additional factions, bags of Doritos, and six packs of Redbull?

Same for me. Haven't even started playing with the other factions...

But i'd like an evil science faction to be added.

research the empire wide engine bonuses and the engine upgrades (support module) you can put on your ship.
