The manual gives a good thumbnail decription but I was looking for one that shows the complete decription like when you open up your own description while playing the game and it says things like +10% production or somesuch.

Thanks!

Like the Captain says, I've never seen a list like that. Sounds like a project for you. I know I don't often play a race without moving around the race characteristics.

Thanks for your replys. I guess that's what I'll have to do.

When you start doing it for the TDM Modpack races, you'll find out what it takes to make a race tough -- but you'll spoil all the adventure of finding out.

I remember the Arquilians, I saw them and said oh, organic -- *yawn* organic armor and weapons. Heh, they have so much aggressiveness and defensiveness they really cut me down. Who would have thought their favorite weapon was .......transmission ends

IMO, that entire section of the manual shouldn't have been included. For me, part of the fun of the game is discovering how the different alien races behave; the manual gives too much away. Most of those "thumbnail" descriptions are lifted verbatim from the AI_General files, anyway.

I have noticed when researching the extraction facilities that I can research past level three but I can never build past level three.(and it doesn't seem to have any extra effect on my output)

What's going on here?

Thanks
