Does Race Age Have An Effect?

[Atrocities]

Does race age and experience give players any bonus for Play By Web games, or is it just useless info?

[Ruatha]

Useless info.
No effect in any games whatsoever.
Was meant to have affect but couldn't be implemented in any good way.

It serves role-playing purposes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

It was not implemented because it would be too easy to cheat with it, not because it couldn't be done.

Too bad, when setting up a game the game host could stipulate the Race Age allowed. This would eliminate the cheating aspect.

Like I said too bad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Perhaps there is an unseen effect that makes players of "old" or Ancient" races cranky, with a tendency to be constantly leaving the keyboard to head for the potty.

I think if Race experience points were accumulated ONLY during single games they could give you a bonus of some sort if the game Lasted long enough.

If the race age was not saved with the empire file, there would not be much of a problem with it giving minor bonuses.
