How easy would it be to drop in a color randomizer for the Custom Race icons? (ie the little coat-of-arms insignia type thing). Similar to the ship randomization scheme, but a lot simpler. For example, you can just hit the Altarian coat of arms, and hit a 'randomize color' button a few times so that it looks unique (like orange or something instead of light blue). It was my impression that drop-in randomized races was a back-burner goal anyway, but

Haven't played for a while, so been plugging around on a couple of 'gifted' AI games. Have to say the pirate nerf to sensor range = 2 was a really nice tweak to make pirates a whole lot less annoying... cheers

Curious, is there a known bug with the leader portrait/background with custom races? I was just trying to put one together and can't get rid of the human-dude as the leader picture. There only appears to be the option to use your own custom image/vid instead of selecting between the Stardock ones. Also if you click "done" in the customize window it appears to crash the game..? cheers,

it's a cool game. Mostly for the novelty that it's an indy-one-dude-creation or whatever. It's a good game, I played it a while when it first came out. Pretty linear and when you get your city going it pretty much levels out with nothing to do. Haven't played it since then so unsure if it's been updated to be deeper, or how the mod scene is (I don't think there were mods when I played, or maybe just a couple to fix bugs).

All of these things are slated to be addressed (although Torians haven't been officially confirmed, just mentioned - so a replacement if not a return could be surmised). Note, you could always create a custom race of humping frogs if it's really bothering you.. [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e] [e digicons]:smitten:[/e] [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e] cheers

[quote who="duelking2000" reply="37" id="3604601"] I don't get why people feel the need for debt interest to be paid off with funds. The way your business, and indeed a lot of businesses in real life, pay for the itnerest is by stacking more ddebt. This means your borrowing money, to pay off the interest for money you borrowed. It owrks in real-life, it works in this game. [/quote] Well, I think that the point of the discussion is that it only works
