I hope this community is not dying.
It was the discovery of Runesword I which led me to Schrapnel Games and thus Space Empires IV.
Having mentioned Space Empires IV to my friends who used to play Ascendancy and Master of Orion 2. Their interest has sparked, due to the fact that this game is so good. I'm hoping that they will join the SEIV community and actively contribute.

What I would like to do is design/alter a race to become one of the factions in a science fantasy milieu of my own creation.

Humanity had left it's cradle with the aid of sleeper colony ships. An age later a strange discovery enabled mankind to travel faster than light, the age of the Magi had begun. A Utopian society was the result...at least on appearances. Several factions involved in a quiet war, with the hidden immortal founders of this society attempting to heal the diverse problems found within.

Ideas for a magical technology-
Eldritch BLasters, Materia primi Cannons,Warp Storm Fetish.
Arcane Aegis, Arcane Ward.
new drive technology- Subspace/Underworld
