Or the old SJG card game. Ah, does that bring back memories of misspent youth...

"If you keep talking, I am going to add you to my list of NSF casualties."

Great game, one of my Favorites.

And yes the inspiration for the Illuminati race combined with a race from a Harry Harrison "Stainless Steel Rat" book dealing with a race of hostile humans who were forced to survive on an ice world.

That was a Grrreat game!

Nothing like taking control of Al Gore with the Cult of Elvis under the effect of a Weird Turn Pro card!

One time I saw a Monty Python module for "Illuminati". Imagine the CIA being run by the Ministry of Silly Walks...

Sweet shipset, Atrocities.
I think I found myself a new favorite shipset for PBW. Now, if there only was a cool game to join

I have one comment though. The relationship between the flag, population bar color and ship color. In large games the races functions better when everything is easily recognizable. I usually end up changing this myself so its no big deal, but....

I'm a little ignorant, I think. What are the bottom half of the images for (scout, corvette, etc.)? Are those units that are demanded by mods, but not by the official game?

P.S. Looks great! I can just imagine the fear I would feel, under attack by an extra fleet of "Extra"-class Extra Ships!

Saber Cherry.

That is correct. Some mods add more hulls - leading to the development of 'Neo-Standard' shipsets, which provides a common set of 'extra' sizes.

Just makes it easier for modders and shipset builders, to integrate their work, I think. Don't know who came up with the idea, but whoever it was deserves a medal.

Good point. I should have standardized them. I think white would be a great color. I wonder why I didn't do it? *Puts finger to forehead and rubbs while squinting.* No idea, must of just had a brain fart or something.
