Hello, This is a suggestion that I’ll would like to bring to mind. There could be a system where civilizations have different traits - and these effect the properties of them and change speeds and values of them. Here are some examples. > **Examples** > > Intelligent - 10% Boosts to R&D > Unintelligent - 10% Nerf to R&D > Great Fighters - 10% Boosted Damage > Terrible Fighters - 10% Nerfed Damage > Super Builders - 10% Boosted Building Quality and Speed > Bad Builders - 10% Nerfed Building Quality and Speed Status Effects might be these examples > **Examples** > > Poisioned - 1% Damage Taken per second > Bleeding - 2.5% Damage Taken per second > Fatally Wounded - 5% Damage Taken per second I want feedback from developers for my idea. ---

I’m not a dev or anything, but the traits seem to just be stats. I’m sure that some traits could work perfectly well, but those examples are just stats, spicificly R&D speed, average damage per combatant, and construction efficiency. I like the status effects though. ---

I have a feeling that a very similar suggestion was made in another thread. I’m too lazy to look for that thread now, but I think that suggestion was a bit more in-depth in terms of thinking about how the species traits come about. ---

I’ll try to find and read the thread. ---

sorry for my english) submissive/rebellious: submissive species are not inclined to change anything in their lives; if they fall into slavery, they will practically not rebel; keeping such species in slavery is effective even at the cosmic stage. rebellious species are very difficult to exploit; they will very often raise uprisings and sabotages, they cannot be taken into slavery, and other forms of exploitation will be much less effective. loners/collectivists: loners prefer to live alone and do not like large crowds, solitary species are prone to individualism, extremely solitary species may not even form a society. Collectivists live in huge flocks and families, they are ready to help everyone in the team and are even ready to die to protect the team. aggressive/friendly: aggressive species are prone to aggression towards those who are not their allies; they also advocate the most forceful solutions to problems (in conjunction with collectivity, the result is a xenophobic species). friendly species are prone to non-forceful methods of achieving goals; they are friendly and not aggressive. Any questions? ---

There also should be in-betweens in those categories. Not all species are either hyperaggresive or hyperfriendly afterall.
