A newbie question

There are a few special powers (known as racial traits), which allow you to dabble in fields such as religion or temporal knowledge. However, they are mostly improved variations of what the "regular" races can do. Still, you should be able to deepen this area if you want.

Most of the things that the racial tech traits such as Deeply Religions, Organic Manipulation, etc. give you are not avaialable to "regular" races.

Also, there is still room for a lot of variation in empire design... sure, if you want to reduce the game to its base level and find the optimal design to maximize winning, you can do so. But, you can do that with any game...

For the full game, you will need to download the latest patch. You can find it on the official SE4 web site.
