Experience and race age

Caius,

You should believe everything Puke says, especially about the rest of us being friendly. Also, he is not as bad as he makes himself out to be. Don’t tell him that though, he will get upset if we say something nice about him.

Hmm, this question is in the Malfador FAQ, and the answer placed there to accompany the question is that there are small bonuses given with high experience.

Isn't there a big chance these bonuses are just hidden and obscure?

malfador has also been known to say things like 'theres a scenario editor coming' and then forgetting about it. i think its plauseable that the bonuses they refer to are of the aesthetic or bragging-rights variety. but you could be right. i dont actually have any evedence that an ancient race does NOT convey a 2% happyness bonus or something, and if it did affect a trait like happyness, you would have a really hard time noticing it.

its all possible..

I highly doubt that these bonus' are there. If they were production someone would have found them. Combat is more obscure but PBW people who were up against an ancient would get pissed if he got a to-hit bonus, and in th way of other bonus' the only thing i see would be hte AI's liking you more for someweird reason, so in short its sick to not have your race be newborn.

Why would you say that its sick to have your race anything other than new-born? The race age doesn't do squat. On PBW, I like playing as the Vorlons, and I like RPing. So, I made the age of my Vorlon Empire to be God-Like to round out their description. I haven't witnessed any extra bonuses granted by this, so I don't see any problem in doing it. When and IF (with extra emphasis on the IF) some concrete evidence is provided that racial experience does anything, I'll stop doing it.
