No I mean the site says there are seven "main playable" races, and there are pictures for 6. Who are number 7? the custom race?

The difference between occupying and retaining territory is part of the combat mechanics not the diplomacy ones.
Guaranteeing and warning is only vaguely different to alliances. Opinion, trust and attitude are staple parts of diplomacy in other 4X games and Aggressive Expansion often is too - Taking too much territory in Civ will outrage other world leaders. PDS has applied those concepts well to a game with hundreds of nations but they aren't especially exciting in a 4x game because 4x games have been doing this for a long time; shockingly other people than PDS have tried to make better more interesting diplomacy systems and they've mostly settled into the same kind of improvements.
Most tellingly - In the other pds games, once you know how to diplomacy you don't really think about it much. You know if you can get someone to become a vassal, you know how much AE you are picking up, you know how to avoid coalitions from firing. You don't really interact with it much, it's just something you keep your eye on in the background. That is not something that you can trumpet as a game making feature.
The problem isn't the numbers of potential civ combinations, it's number of civs on the game map at any one time. 6 major civs plus 1 player custom civ isn't quite the same as hundreds of playable countries and factions in the other games each with an individual situation and challenge.
But Poland can't into space...
Are we going to see a different races melting pod? Such as hybrids between humans and grey-ish big eyes aliens?
Where is said "7 majors"? All I see is 7 races. Even in screens we can see that there's more empires than one for one race.
By the sound of it, those aren't even civilizations, but rather federations consisting of several civilizations.Where is said "7 majors"? All I see is 7 races. Even in screens we can see that there's more empires than one for one race.
"Create alliances and form into federations with other empires, or fight wars against hostile alien species"

Wait, so what about 3 and 7 as the important numbers? The game seems to be in 2200, that doesn't fit
Ha, that's another thing. We don't really know the game, so there's very little to no point in arguing ^^
7 - number of traces
3 - number of "tech trees"
What do you think will be the differences between Engineering and Physics groups? They are very similar IRL and I can't really make up any drastic differences...
That's the three I believe.
Heh, have you ever watched The Big Bang Theory? I'd explain the difference like that: one is engineers, so practical, and the other is physicists, so theoretical. (and I can't get dictionary working on my bloody browser, so I might've misspelled them)
But you know like what could be the practical differences of those in game?
Better names could be:
- Soft Science (Society)
- Hard Science (Engineering)
- Theoretical Science (Physics)
My guess it would work like:
We've invented fusion power! (Physics)
We've invented fusion powered ship engines! (Engineering)
We've invented fusion power plants! (Society)
I think Social/Applied/Theoretical might be better. But to answer roplox, engineering and physics is completely different.
I agree, but I think "Society" tech will be more related to "social" stuff (improvements in sociology and better economic theories, for example) rather than civic technology.
