The dead Altarians

Are they dead or kinda alive?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I saw in the journals that the Altarians have been destroyed in Dark Avatar...but the SURVIVED!

I also saw somewhere else that you can't play as the "new" Altarians.

So have the Alties been totally removed or playable?

I don't believe anyone knows which 2 civilizations are going to be destroyed in the expansion. You're probally thinking of the caption for one of the screenshots which says "The Altarians are conquered but the resistance lives on!". That doesn't necessarly mean they are one of the races that are going to die.

No matter which race dies, they will still be playable in the expansion pack. They won't in gc3 though.

In the poll that they had, most wanted Altarians gone. Whether or not Stardock will go down that path remains to be seen.

Reading the title I thought it sounded a good name for a rock group.

it wasnt what race you *want* destroyed but which you think will be, also if you do ever find out, please dont post it in the title of the thread.

Highlight space below for my theory:

I would put good money on a certain yellow coloured race being destroyed. Their homeworlds just narrowly avoid being conquered in the galciv2 campaign...I wouldn't expect them to hold out again. Also, I reckon the Drath will be shown the door too. They get too many great bonuses already. I just don't see neutrals prospering in an evil galaxy. When a line in the sand is drawn, sometimes you just have to pick a side.

I need to check but I seem to remember reading that the Arceans are gone, otherwise I don't know who else but I do like Jeznob's theory.

I would say that the civilizations likely to be destroyed as Great Civilization and be left as a Minor Civilization (for GalCivIII) are the Torians and a non-Terran-nor-Altarian-nor-Yor-nor-Drengin civilization.

Altarians get a new leader because surely Netro Mancer had "an accident" during Dread Lords. Terrans should be getting a new leader too.

No, since 2 are leaving for the Korath and the Zrim.

Jeznob, the Drath were good, last time I checked.
