25% off at greenmangaming with the watch25 code. Probably won't get much deeper than that for us north american folks.

Many thanks. Lets one pick up the Nova edition for less than $40 (for that OST).

I don't know if anyone has done this yet, but since Johan gave us the rules for making a name list, I tried my hand at making a dwarven one. It still doesn't contain names for warships, science ships, frontier outposts, or regnal names, due to the fact I made this in about 20 minutes and I have very little creativity. Feel free to add and post any changes you like.

The dwarf names and fleet names I just took from one of my own fortresses, and the planet names are mostly from community or succession fortresses. Some of the army names are pretty generic, and could probably be better. The generic ship names are just various pieces of clothing and equipment in DF. Anyway, here it is:

So this Stellaris race maker is a thing: http://kaisersly.github.io/stellaris_race_maker/

[Puzzlemaker]

So if I had to say, I would say humans are Adaptive, Communal, and Weak.

[Cruxador]

Is it just me, or is Collectivism outright better than Xenophobia? I guess the idea is that this is balanced by xenophobia unlocking laws which let you deal with dissident aliens better.

[Egan_BW]

Collectivism also doesn't allow you to pass laws to exclusively enslave aliens, if you want that.

[Orange Wizard]

So if I had to say, I would say humans are Adaptive, Communal, and Weak.

We're pretty militaristic too

[Egan_BW]

Without anything to compare to, humans could be pretty much anything.
One HFY story I like is about how humans are Very Strong, so who knows?

[Dostoevsky]

Collectivism (and individualism) also seem to block a number of government types, for what that's worth.

[Teneb]

Collectivism (and individualism) also seem to block a number of government types, for what that's worth.

Pretty much. If you are a fanatic individualist, you can only be democracies.

So if I had to say, I would say humans are Adaptive, Communal, and Weak.

Resilient plus whatever else. Seriously, if there is one thing we are truly good at is at moving onward nonstop. Which translates to stubbornness and I guess in this case aptitude for guerrilla (since it does involve a lot of moving around and waiting for the right moment).

[Puzzlemaker]

So my reasoning was:

We adapted to climate areas nothing like where we evolved (Near the equator in Africa)
Some of our closest relatives are stronger then us by a long shot (Gorillas) and many other animals often have stronger muscles
We are naturally social animals that form groups and currently we live in large populated cities

Resilient I would say is also true, but again there is nothing to compare it with so it's hard to say. 

[Cruxador]

if there is one thing we are truly good at is at moving onward nonstop.

This is only true if you assume that all the social and cognitive behaviors we've got going on, though exceptional on our own world, are the requisite baseline for species to get into space.
