Tim,
Good to hear from you again. I have no problems at all with making each of the League races a seperate race. If they want to partnership with each other, that's great!
Actually, one of the problems with the League being a complete race is that they have a different atmosphere type, and so make great targets for predation (to steal pops that aren't dome-limited). Certainly a great many of them were oxygen-breathers. Making them a bunch of races (many of them minors) would limit the "atmosphere effect" so I favor it.
Nomor, I have looked over the file you sent me, and will spend some time this weekend putting together the combined efforts of yourself and myself (you have a lot of text I never entered) and explaining the facilities concept. Anything you can think of as race-specific facility-wise will add to the atmosphere of the game, as facilities are now rather generic. Keep in mind that we want facilities to use the same "meaningless" abilities tags to keep the AI files manageable. For example, make different Homeworld hubs that are mutually exclusve, not additional homeworld hubs that have to be chosen between.
