Native Races - Details

WARNING: This page is a work in progress. While the data it contains is believed to be accurate, it is known to be incomplete.

Distribution

The initial distribution is performed when the game map is created. At that time, all planets outside of the homeworld clusters are considered for population with natives. The nativeprobability game setting determines the percentage of those planets that will actually receive natives.

When a planet is selected to receive natives, the system randomly selects from the following list of races:

1. Humanoid
2. Bovinoid
3. Reptilian
4. Avian
5. Amorphous
6. Amorphous
7. Insectoid
8. Amphibian
9. Ghipsoldal
10. Siliconoid
11. Botanical

The presence of Amorphous natives twice in the above list is not an error. Statistically, Amorphous natives appear twice as often as any other single type of native.

Population

The native population for planets outside of the homeworld clusters is determined by the minnativeclans and maxnativeclans game settings.

Government Level

The initial government level is determined when the natives are placed on the planet. It can only be changed by the use of an Enlighten Class Research Vessel (Bird Campaign starship) or by the Horwasp.

The level of government is randomly selected according to a table that is selected when the game is generated. The selected value is stored in the nativegovernmentlevel game setting.

• Low (1) - Generates average tax efficiency of approximately 81.5%.
• Med (2) - Generates average tax efficiency of approximately 100%.
• High (3) - Generates average tax efficiency of approximately 118.5%.
