Aren't 'Races' wrong in IC?

The funny thing is that we’ve been calling Wardancers, Quantum, Partiaxians, etc. Races since Day One, however, that is technically incorrect as I do not believe they all evolved from Earth ancestors.

Race is defined as ‘Each of the major divisions of humankind, having distinct physical characteristics.’

We really ought to be calling them Species instead, don’t you think?

Yes its almost racist hahaha :joy::rofl: but “races” is a term for humans not earth ancestors. There were many types of humanoids and modern humans are normally not fully “human”

It does depend on if there is an “Earth” in the game, it is science fiction after all. :yum:

I mean, if you want to get all technical about it. Is there any lore or information on this? They could very well be species derived from a common ancestor.

I would think likely not though. Species would probably be more correct but you know, :woman_shrugging:

Shouldn’t Quantum have an iron production bonus?

“Due to their high concentration of engineers they have more efficicient ways of building and mining.”

Eww, there’s also a typo in there lol

Yeah @I_like_pie, us real humanoids are totally insulted that you are lumping us in with species from other planets. They are obviously inferior to the Quantums and other humanoids inhabiting these galaxies.

If so, we also need to abolish :
Nukes (Intergalactic terrorism)
Generate false info (Fake news)
Hypnotize (Genocide)
E-storms (Man made global distortion)
Kill/Terminate scientists (Religious nuts/conservatives)

Not to mention standard races have more race points vs custom (inbred-) races/species, where is the equality in that?

Sol, why did you have to get all silly

Nukes - it’s a war game
Generate info - again it’s a war game
The other points - it’s a war game.

My point is his is about grammar and using the correct wording not pc bollacks
