What race to play first?

[H Tower]

any thing but the harvesters, i keep seeing people talking about the big bad harvesters, and i want to run into them out in space, not learn their inner workings right away.

so probablly the humans, it will be fun to watch humanity get stomped by everybody else

[Andemagne]

Psilons, of course! what else?

Moo1 and Moo2 had Bulrathi race that was a bear and very strong ground combat, two races Alkari and Mrrshans that were avaiators. I have not looked to see if any made Moo3 or not.

I allways touhgt that Bulrathi were dogs (compare bulldogs) as Mrrshans were cats. I think that none of those three races made it to MOO3. but maybe in first expansion.....

good point (that "most likely"). usually I'm not so pro west, but I'll think about this.

In Moo they looked like bears to me, so I have always refered to them that way. Yes the Mrrs are cat like and the ALk are bird and both have a ships bonus.

Hmm... What happened to the Darlocks? I loved them in MoO1+2. Well... I think I would start up with a custom race, too. Someone with spies and such. (Yes, I am a backstabbing fellow.)

In RL terms, "good guys" is way too simplistic or unrealistic, and I'm not a naive person. However, I am extremely pro West. This is because I think Western values are the most likely overall to lead to happiness for people and good lives.

i agree with some aspects of the west, but i say down with the conservative fools, the silly rightists and unfair capitALism of backstabing then cooperation.

i would explain what i said so it won't be taken the wrong way, but that would essay length....would have to be to make some people understand

I'll try Human first (or maybe Evon)...or most likely a custum humanoid race. :-)

Anyway, I am going to try being diplomatic at first...

[Yolky]

Weltraum Amy the Darlocks are a minor race now. They cann't be played.

For everyone else, you will be in for a suprise in what race you want to play now since most of the races mention are pretty weak and will probably be edited a bit in the creation prossess since they are totally different from Moo and Moo2.

So, in your opinion, what would be the "strongest" race (i.e. best benefits, little weakness), or most forgiving? (i.e. easiest to play with)

[Weltraum Amy]

MINOR RACE?!?

I led the Darlock Empire to victory a THOUSAND times! My ships were INVINCIBLE! I've fought battles, conquered empires and colonized the known space! And the reward is becoming a MINOR race?! We WILL see about that...

PS: Custom race doesn't sound so bad either.

I'd like to invite all the Westerners who dislike the West to go and live in some nonWestern countries. Think of it as an education trip.

You can conveniently blame all this naughty behavior on Western meddling, but of course that's really just wholesale generalization that can be read at any 10 cent Leftist website. The fact remains: many 3rd world countries were humanitarian nightmares long before any Western influence, and will be long after.

Weltraum Amy;

Yeah, I felt like that too when I first heard the news about the Darlocks. But it wears off, don't worry. Because you see they really didn't die...

(You know the Evon and how their supposed to be a new race...)

[SeanV]

What do you mean...

Mellian;

What do you mean by the West? Do you mean the West as in the conglomeration of countries that today are called the West and the values that they actually practice or do you mean the West (and the values) that have saved the world from barbarianism since its conception in Greece before the time of Christ?

Because if you mean what I think you mean...

[Sarxis]

I think I will play as the Bananaleens first.

[Xentax]

While I think the Humanoid ships look the coolest, I *don't* expect to be playing a humanoid race first; for reasons I can't go into, of course.

The various humanoid races are not the easiest of races to play this time around, though I'm sure there are mixed opinions as to how easy they were in the previous incarnations, so I won't really go there.

Who instead? Hmmm...
