Please vote kill the Altarians

It's a vote about what we think, not what we want.

I hate the Altarians because their song is the worst I've heard in over 13 years of PC gaming.

Uhh, so you want to kill one of the best AI:s in the game?

Anyway, the dead races will be available in sandbox-games so it doesn't really matter. You could actually disable them in your games if you don't want to meet them.

So, you want the Altarians dead because they're good at what they do?
As I read it, the poll is just for entertainment purposes. It's just for gossip and fun, not to actually interfere with the storyline. Besides, I voted Arceans.

The Alterians ARE irritateing i agree, goody two-shoe arrogent human look-alike snobs... however i voted Thalan, because at least Alterians have taste when it comes to fleet colours... the Thalans... well i dont know WHAT they were thinking when they came up with the vomit green/girly pink colour but they deserve a swift death just for that.

Iconians.... they have balls on theirs chincs.. yuck

In the aftermath ofthe Apocalypse mission, doesn't it say that the Altarians' worlds are bombarded to slag and then the entire race is enslaved by the Drengin? That doesn't seem like a very good argument for longetivity in my view ...

I like the Altarians, they 're usually the guys that hold the balance of power between the evil and good empires. I hope they don't get wiped out. I hope the end of the next campaign sees the ascendency of the "good" empires. *spoiler* The Arceans and the Altarians were all but wiped out in the origionally campaign, im not sure what happened to the Torians though.

The next campaign IMO is going to be a war between the evil nations, perhaps the Yor Drengin alliance vs these new comers, with whats left of the good races clinging to survival. Just my humble opinion lol.

Or maybe the Yor betrays the Drengin and allies with the evil newcomers. The Drengin are after all, flesh and bone, just like all the other good races.

The torians got enslaved again.

Eh, I think they at least have to touch on the whole why Altarians and Humans look alike theme. Then they can get the axe. But I doubt they will. Voted Torians. Pretty much a no-one race in the story so far.

Heh, I voted for the Torians for the same reason. Damn circus music....

I thought that they told you which two races were destroyed at the end of the campaign. I seem to remember it saying that two races were so destroyed that they ceased to exist. I won't say which two they were, since it will spoil the compaign, but I remember which two they said were completely anihilated. (Which I found strange, because I dominated every mission I was given at the time, and yet we were still losing the war?)

I wish I could vote to kill the Terran alliance... Not that I hate the humans.. I just hate the look of their racial leader, Face like a salesperson who'd do anything to sell you their product and exploit you in any way they can.

LOL
That is a graphic representation of their diplomacy bonus



BTW the original post was just a bit of fun. the 40 worlds was true tho

Like any good corporations do.

LOL Iconians and the Balls on their chins, thinks back to MIBII and The Ballchinians..

You haven't played GC1:AP, it seems.

Nooo... The Altarians are nice!

BTW, I think the next campaign will be about Terrans turning evil and wiping out the 2 races. And I voted Altarians because they're gonna be the one of them.

Voted Torians. They just look like they're too stupid to surviver. Kinda like how the Dodo became extinct.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Torians getting ground into green paste, but I don't think that's what's going to happen. The Torian, Drath and Iconians already have their past difficulties that they have suffered through and have conquered or at least are now freed of. If say the Iconians were simply wiped out after being rescued, it wouldn't make for much of a story. If the Torians after freeing themselves from the Drengin aren't able to forge a future for themselves but instead just get stomped, it would be sad. (funny, but sad)

I think the Drengin have too much of a major role as the main antagonists / instigators of this conflict so they are too involved and valuable for the story to disappear completely.

The Yor have a novelty being the only race of artifical life forms, so I think they have a free pass.

The Terrans won't be wiped out, I don't think I have to explain why I don't think so there.

The Altarians have the 'we look human' mystery to be solved, and are one side of a major conflict with the Drath / Korx so I don't think they'll be exiting either. I wouldn't mind if Netro Mancer bit the big one though.

The Arceans, I think, have more character than the Korx and they are certainly a strong race, but that might just make them a target. They're actions definately deserve some blow back and will probably take a big hit at least if not be exterminated. Though being one of the oldest of the new race, and a strong militaristic civ, I tihnk they probably will survive.

Personally, I think it should be the Korx. Sure it's hard to get rid of people like that because opportunists tend to be survivors however, they can survive without being a major independant civ. I think that being used as tools for the Drath though leaves them with a fairly minor role in this galactic soap opera and I can easily see their decisions ending in disaster.

Just FYI, I haven't finished the single player campaign, so I could be missing some vital info, but those are my thoughts.
