CHARACTER SYSTEMS IMPLEMENTED:
Ergreagd - with unique portrait art
Highly competitive society, which progress built on constant rivalry and competition between three royal houses. Nagongds, the mediators between houses are normally overseeing external policies and deal with external threats, but they do not excel at being strong leaders, they just keepers of unstable peace between houses and normally more skilled in internal security than in anything else. If one of the houses tilts balance to his side enough, Nagongd may be replaced by one of representatives from leading royal house. Royal houses have each one own specialization, Urgegds excel at governing and trade, are rich and normally well-respected rulers, Kerengds are innovative and rule by technology, terror, implementing most advanced assassination techniques in the galaxy, while Margagd Generals and Admirals inspire and rally fierce Ergreagd warriors and more military power and skill focused, neglecting anything else. Been said that diplomacy never was their strong side, though Urgegd trade-oriented noblemen succeed to achieve some notable diplomatic deals with seemingly highly hostile to Ergreagd lifeforms.
Generally, Ergreagd society have very high level of internal security, focused around areas of 3 royal houses specialization, and their fleet and ship commanders normally specialize in systems Ergreagd navies packed with - weapons, shields and countermeasure systems.
Dhayut - without unique portrait art
Fierce aggressive species with highly centralized society, have also some certain sub-breeds which normally perform more specialized roles. Their society is extroverted and reckless, aiming towards constant expansion and conquest, without much account of safety, defense or population happiness.
They are ruled by powerful matriarchs Thha, which rule their populations and generally very intelligent, powerful and reckless. In addition, two worthy of notification non-matriarch rare breeds exist which could take places in Dhayut high command - Dhytta and Tahhyt. Dhytta is most warlike breed of Dhayut species, very dedicated, and extremely reckless, while Tahhyt is very intelligent, advanced but highly un-predictable and un-controlable breed, which possess poisoned fumes which corrupt other species arround making them un-predictable and un-controllable as Tahhyt. Tahhyt normally sent to perform complex tasks in desolation, and often separated from other breeds.
Their fleet command is highly skilled in space and hyper-space maneuvering, making Dhayut famous for being one of best hyper-spatial navigators, as well as in weapon systems, targeting and damage control.
Their scientists have certain affinity towards weapon and energy research, and less focused on high tech systems development.
Such-Oos - without unique portrait art
Quickly Thinking, Quickly Talking, Energetic, Curious Such-Oos are weak physically, but mischevious and smart. Their look, movements, attitude and charm often welcomed in many other species societies. Such-Oos been famous for being outstanding smugglers, traders, negotiators and explorers. They are very curious, fast-thinking creatures, but have lack of focus. They very weak will, disorganized, and try to avoid any physical confrontation because their weak physical strength and high squishness. Despite all those negative traits, they have own ways to survive and prosper - their mischief, smart and fast-thinking brains, their diplomatic and manipulation skills, their charm and empathy, their welcoming attitude, with which they accept any creature to their huge cities, and their techologies.
The have famous two organisations - Chuso, the orden of Explorers, who are known as famous explorers, travellers, tale-tellers and diplomats, and Iocho - Scientific sub-society who are rumored for invention of famous Such-Oosian Matter Compressors.
PS> This is ALPHA version of character system, it needs testing, and may pass re-adjustments, tweakings and improvements. this is already stand alone complete game, where personality , understanding lore of the race, Dismiss button , and race of character are important
Its Reccomended to play with Alien Immersion mod sountracks for maximum immersion: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3651979. And in this release i reccomend to play for Dhayut and Ergreagd or Such-Oos .
