Topic: Custom races, nowadays...

Hey I havn't played in years. Is this still a good custom race design?

Population growth: -30%
Income: 40%
Attack: 40%
Magic: -30%
Speed: 80%

+ Droids

No ops or spells

Re: Custom races, nowadays...

i dont think that ever was a good custom race design tongue

it all depends on your role.

if you want to bank, take 50/50 income/sci, drop attack,magic, popgrowth down to -30. take TO's, and SA. you can pick up some speed or more ops. that is up to personal preference. (ex. http://www.imperialconflict.com/view_race.php?id=608155)


if you want to attack take 50/50 attack/sci, 100 speed. lots of ops and droids, drop income,  and pop growth to -30. you can take some magic bonus, or drop it down to free up points for ops. (ex. http://www.imperialconflict.com/view_race.php?id=609283)


if you want to play SS, you're best bet is probably taking an attack type race and selling resources for money. if you're set on making CFs as well as resources, try quantam, wardancer, or a race something like this:

Nah, For an attacker choose terminate scientists instead of destroy units.
that way you can Use it before you attack another attacker to try lower their Military bonus.

I'd rather have DU, for for destroying units on a stationed planet.

Killing sci for military bonus won't have that much effect.

I give my stamp of approval on thirdrock's choices of races tongue ...obviously ppl can customise to what they want from there.

Re: Custom races, nowadays...

DU is a must have, IMO. great for clearing out laser traps tongue

and like i said, as an attacker you could drop your magic bonus and take more ops, or take TS instead of FTP, etc. there's alot of personal preference involved in making an attacker race. the only things set in stone are 50 attack, 50 science, 100 speed, no fear, SA, PI, IP, Infil, DU

Re: Custom races, nowadays...

yeah lol, The attacker race you posted is exactly the same as the race I made, except for the DU/TS difference.

but yeah I suppose it would be good for laser traps but like I said, I never ever hit anything with that op, so I gave up on it, Just like place nukes, It never hits what I want lol.
