M'lan Ecclesia directly translates to min-max in the hive language.

(I mean no offense, I can respect that.)

It really would make more sense if I swapped out Trade and Industrial Expansion for Loyalty Recovery and no land defense penalty, wouldn't it? Yeah, let's go with that.
Terraforming and large structures are purely for in-character reasons, though. That kind of thing has to be done carefully, lest you meddle with the mind of God.

[Dwarmin]

Game is full now. All applicants have been accepted.

Neyvn, accepting you would give nine players. I'm willing to expand the map a bit to accommodate a ninth player, but someone will need to be in a more central location. Any volunteers? I'll ensure that whoever does has an extra planet near their homeworld that's only 20 away from their environmental ideal and has 60-80 quality. If there are no volunteers, it goes to the last applicant, which is Neyvn.

I'll volunteer for it. I'm a trade+diplomacy centered empire, so this works me.

CF really got a reputation of politicking like that. Get over it.

[Criptfeind]

Ehhhhh.... Iffy on that. New manufactures are pretty much the single biggest expense in the early game, Industrial Expansion is very much a good choice.

And trade? I thhhhhhink trade can account for about almost 2/3 of our income or production or whatever in this game. I did not really read it that closely. Edit: Eh, not quite. More like 1/2

Also, I would also volunteer for the middle spot. (That sounds like something that would be pretty awesome.)

[Neyvn]

Yeah finally got my true chance to start reading over things. Got on last night but sleep was calling too much. (Came home on a late plane)...

If its cool I will have a look over the rules and stuff now...

This is a Race that was created by having my Partner give me answers on them, each part of the text is an explanation, I then extended it into what is here...

Race: The Zia'zola - Purple
The Zia'zola are a Short Race of Humaniods, the lightweight people are quite adaptable due to their four arms and prehensile tail. While they are of a Purple colour they are distinguishable from each other by the different shades of their skin and their distinctive patterns and shapes of their tails and a caste system that is dependent on the strange growths on the palms of their hands. The Shape of their body is Feline in nature, the cat like eyes allow them to see well in the dark, see sharper colours and changes in the atmosphere and the way their build allows them to shift and move in rapid and sudden movements when required. While they rarely touch the surface of their planet, they had developed webbed like toes to keep them stable when traveling over the terrain...

[[Humaniod - 4 Arms - Purple tinged Skin (Localization Changes to Colour Spectrum) - Feline Features - Monkey Tail (Differentiate Features for Different Cultures) - Abnormally thin - Short in stature - Extended Fingers (Differentiate Features for Different Cultures) - Webbed Feet - Lightweight.]]

Homeworld: Manja Rolo
The 4th Planet of a 12 Planet system. Manja Rolo. The homeworld of the Zia'zolo is a World of Marshland, for nearly half of its seasonal rotations does it rain heavily at a constant rate, the large amounts of water is gathered from areas where the wetlands meet the Oceans around the planet to replenish that of where it is drier and continues in this pattern. The Mineral Enriched Mud and Silt that covers the planet allows for a weird result of Lumber to form in the Large trees that grow in the areas were their roots can take full hold on the soil below. Absorbing the Minerals from the Mud and Silt the trees become metallic in nature where the Lumber becomes as versatile as Steel and even higher levels of metal compared to the Ores mined by other Races.

[[20% Ocean/80% Land - 70% Marshland (Metal Enriched Mud/Silt), 10% Rainforest (Steel Like Timber) - Heavy Rainfall - 4th Orbit - 12 Orbit System.]]

History:
The Zia'zolo started as small tribes that slowly formed the Space faring Nation that it is now. From their early ages they built their homes and cities on stilts that lifted their constructions above the loose soil of their homeworld. ((I'll finish the rest of this Fluff later unless necessary))

[[Stilt Homes - In touch with their world - Timber Constructions/Tools - Medical Products from the Local Flora - Only Intelligent life on the Planet - Multi Cultural -  Discovered Space Travel - Caste System]]

Population growth: +1
Land Defense: +1
Research: +2
Small crafts attack: +2
Land Attack: +2

Defensive structures: -2
Large structures: -2

You'll still need to pick a color Neyvn.

And, there's a limit of 8 categories in all for your racial traits. I made the same mistake.

[Taricus]

No-one else but you chose a color dwarmin...

[Dwarmin]

Application needs an empire name, race name, race description and preferred color.

I feel so alone! D:

[Taricus]

Not anymore...

[Nirur Torir]

Neyvn: You have one category too many, as Dwarmin said, and are allowed a +4 total sum on your traits.

Opp misscount there...
Right then...

[Happerry]

No-one else but you chose a color dwarmin...

Hey, I edited in my choice yesterday, if anyone had bothered to look.

[Criptfeind]

Orange.

[Nirur Torir]

Sorry to those who sent in/posted their color or environmental preference too late. I don't feel like redoing the maps, so you get what you get.

evilcherry - Ideal Enviro: 135
ggamer - Ideal Enviro: 80
Dwarmin - Ideal Enviro: 210
Taricus - Ideal Enviro: 140
Riccto - Ideal Enviro: 100
Criptfeind - Ideal Enviro: 225
Vanigo - Ideal Enviro: 190
Happerry - Ideal Enviro: 215
Neyvn - Ideal Enviro: 160

Amusingly, only ggamer requested an environment below 150.

Due to my map generation formula, there are two planets without any population. Empty planets may be claimed without an assault (any ship will do), but do nothing until you ship in some colonists and factories.

Starting ships are 3x FF Counts (Renamed from FF Dukes, as they're really not the same as DD Dukes at all) for most players. Dwarmin starts with one extra FF Count, to further dissuade an early attacker.

Starting funds: 5000c.

Please try to write turn 1 up within 72 hours, but I should be able to end the turn sooner if everyone gets their turns in. Should you not understand something, feel free to ask.

[Taricus]

Do we put the turns here or PM them to you?
