A Succinct Summary of the Galactic Civilizations Races · 8:22pm Jul 18th, 2015
GalCiv is still my favorite game ever, so might as well pull some cheap jokes/infodump out of it:
Terran Alliance: Jack-of-All-Stats Generic Balanced group with a veneer of diplomacy. Also, the harbingers of the apocalypse. Because humans are special.
Drengin Empire: Evil, cruel, space apes that want to kill you, eat your innards, then enslave your family.
Torian Confederation: Frog Bajorans.
Altarian Republic: Space Elves who are the goody-two-shoes of the universe, albeit a bit arrogant.
Arcean Empire: Those proud warrior dudes.
Yor Collective: Zenocidal robots that overthrew their masters after being granted sentience by the Dread Lords.
Iconian Refuge: Cuttlefish-like survivors of the robot apocalypse.
Korx Dominion: Evil corporate scum
Krynn Consulate: 90% Every religious extremist group ever, 10% Space Mafia.
Thalan Contingency: Space bugs from the future who are trying to stop the end of everything.
Iridium Corporation: Capitalists that aren't complete assholes.
Drath Legion: Chess playing giant lizard manipulative bastards with a grudge against the Altarians.
Korath Clan: Like Drengin, but even worse.
Dread Lords: Evil Precursors..
Arnor: Good guy Precursors. With the knowledge to build freaking Death Stars.
