Igncom1 wrote: That seems a little off to me, do you know which hero it is?
According to this huge list (http://endlessspace.wikia.com/wiki/Hero_List) in the Endless Space Wiki, the hero name is Conan Forsythe. Here's a picture of him and his description:
"Born on Earth, Conan was always fascinated with stars, even as a child. He left the planet as soon as he could with the military, where he progressed through the ranks. Young and charismatic, Conan demonstrated an uncanny ability to assess a battlefield quickly and organize effective defences. Over the course of the several years, his intervention saved many empire ships from destruction. It goes without saying that his skill and determination to minimize losses have made him very popular among the common servicemen."
Wait guys, I have a even better story of how the United Empire was created: In a alternate reality, the Roman Empire never fallen (thanks the Gods for that!), and because they had to fight against the entire world to unify it, they spent alot of time to develop a modern society. Even after Earth was theirs, they didn't care too much about space exploration. But then, only in the year 3000 (or year MMM, in Roman numbers) they seriously started space exploration.
It's possible the galaxy your game takes place in is a "new" galaxy - all the players in it just happened to try colonizing the same galaxy at the same time (a bit farfetched, but are we all to believe 8 different races all reached the space stage at the same exact time?)
After all, a lot of hero descriptions refer to established militaries or empires... you have no empire and military when you start with your one lonely planet, do you?
Think about it: you start with a scout ship, a colonizer and a single planet. It's possible you used some Dust-powered device to take you on a one-way trip to this new galaxy, and that's pretty much what any sensible empire would send on such an expedition (if you're trying to colonize hundreds of new galaxies, you can't overcommit to any one of them).
Although to make this clearer, it would be cool if your home planet had some unique improvement, like an "Imperial Centre" or something, to both explain that you're colonists from another galaxy and also give you a reason to care about your home planet beyond avoiding a Supremacy defeat.

Humorous, although it's kind of defeated by the existence of the Endless hero. It would be a bit unfair if one of them joined a race in order to ensure their own victory in the bet? And also weird that none of the others do the same?

Quite depressiv if a so high advanced species would have nothing better to do as such primitiv and barbarian stuff.
Maybe Skuoi Kyryi(or whatever his real name is, maybe fred) has been sent as an internal observer, maybe the whole galaxy is just the largest set for a reality show for the endless*! the same could be true for Kyuind Neuil. Or maybe the Galaxy is made alone for the two of them to compete with each other...
*"It's the 'Among Mortals'-Show, with your's Truely Kyuind Neuil"-"And Skuoi Kyryi"-"thank you Kyuind!"-"No Problem Skuoi, No problem at all."-"Today the two of us are leading two Large fleets of Cravers"-"and Hissho"-"Bless you! *canned laughter* fighting to their Deaths. Stay tuned If you crave *canned laughter* to see the outcome of this vicious battle just as much as I do"

I like these ideas! But they look a bit like the 2010 "Predators" film, in which humans have been abducted by the Predators then put on an alien planet, so the Predators could have some lethal fun in hunting the humans. And I like it.
Let's impress the Endless in their little reality show, then!
Also when they talk about the Sheredyn in the description if my memory is correct they make references to the Praetorian guard, which hails from Antique Rome, so our Earth
well maybe we bombed ourself back and were forced to start from the scretch (example nuclear holocaust)
or some Ideologie tooks over the earth for a long time slowing down any scientific progress (medieval *cough* christianity *cough*)
and also technology is not an exponential graph its like the more we go forward on the X-Axis the increase on the Y-Axis becomes smaller and smaller till there is a point of almost stagnation.
Our mind and your imagination capabilitys are limited to our current evolutionary state and so is our technological potential.
It's never said if with 3000 our year 3000 is meant. It could be something different for example years since the end of the Dust Wars. It could also be some kind of standard years, for example the half-life of a radioactive element/isotope of an element, which is used because of different year duration on different planets throughout the galaxy.
You guys have some good points, specially Sovereign. Since from the day I noticed this, I always considered the possibility that humanity was amost destroyed by some kind of terrible catastrophe, and then we tryed to rebuild, originating the United Empire.
The possibility of an ideology is also considerable, since every human can be stupid enough to fall into some same crazy ideology or religion.
Why are humans in a galaxy which isent the milky way?
ps: if it is the milky way or not (or an alternate version of it) was never clear to me. I asked SpaceTroll and also Stephnie a month ago but no one answered me to that question. ; (
I remember in one of the UE hero descriptions that he was born on Earth, so it is the Milky Way. And the calendar they are using seems like ours.
And if there was an apocalyptic catastrophe, wouldn't more than one race be a lot more than the others and likewise others would be a lot less advanced.
I think that in the year 3000, humanity would be far more advanced than the United Empire or the Pilgrims. Humanity advanced a LOT in the past thousand years, so imagine how we will be in the next thousand years, considering that our technological advance rates today are about the twice of the one in the past thousand years, so in the next thousand years, we will advance two times more than we advanced in the past thousand years. Theres no problem in starting the game in the year 3000 with alien races, since it's our calendar and there's no way for us to know how advanced they will be in the year 3000, but in that year, humans would consider the United Empire and Pilgrim's technological level primitive.
In my opinion, it would be more correct to set the starting year to 2300, but thats just my opinion. Hope you guys understand it.

That doesn't mean what you imply, after all most of the themes used by the UE and Sheredyn can be traced to human history, and so earth.
But that doesn't prove that ES humans even come from earth.
I do remember episodes from Star Trek where some Earth cultures some how developed on other planets. It's not very realistic IMO, but it could possibly be possible.
N-Blackmore wrote: Also when they talk about the Sheredyn in the description if my memory is correct they make references to the Praetorian guard, which hails from Antique Rome, so our Earth
A lot of people make their ideas mirror Earth cultures, usually Roman for humans, almost every time. So that isn't really.... applicable

Really? where did you see that?

Well 2300 is extremely optimistic for us, especially since few countries are putting considerable funding into space. Even the famous NASA who put a man on the moon lost most funding into it

Why why don't we have flying cars? And what happened between now and the current institution of the UE?
Flying cars = harriers :P. What happened was (not really) US economy failed, the current president abolished the Republic and reformed Imperialism. After several years of propaganda, ethnics were abolished and the Roman Empire of America quickly developed chemical weapons and battle satellites. The military grew in numbers quickly and they began conquering the countries and converting them to farming and factories and the population as slaves. The manifest destiny was changed to include all of the world. They quickly began mass producing missiles, anti missile satellites and planes for defense. Missiles were used to destroy fortifications and stronger fleets before sending in the rest. The REA finally conquered all of Earth in 2195. As American heads of state were placed as governors in all conquered countries, the Emperor had a feeling of nostalgia and slightly brought back his nations old name, and called it the United Empire. Hoping to expand his empire outside of the planet, he encouraged technological advancements in the field of space in order to colonize nearby planets that are believed to have Earth-like characteristics. After centuries of advancement and the colonization of nearby solar systems as well as the rest of Sol they found an Endless ship. From the ship they extracted FTL (if turn one ships even have FTL) and quickly began reverse engineering it for reproduction. It is now the year 3000, the UE is ruled by Emperor Maximilian Zelevas, the pilgrims have split off and horatio has found cloning technology for himself. With cravers and hissho at one end of his empire and the rest on the other side, war is the only option.
