Some Questions about Twilight of the Arnor

...although I know it's going to be amazing!

from GalCiv2 Forums
All right, first I would like to apologize. I believe somewhere along the line, I have stated these ideas before, but I cannot find them in either my posts or my replies and I have searched multiple times. So I have decided to make my own posts of some of the questions I have about the new implemention In TA.

- Is there going to be a small "tech tree" of sorts for the DreadLords, and do they get unique buildings for themselves?
- Are the Arnor going to appear similar to how the Dreadlords do in a sandbox map?
- Are there going to be a seperate ship templates for old Arnorian corvettes and Rangers that you find on your planets? Possibly organic?
- Speaking of organic ships, you stated that Iconian ships have this ability. Will they look different than metal?
- Are pirates gonna form from current ship styles and templates that are available to the AI and player, or are they going to be oddly stronger than everyone else?
- How is spying going to be handled this time around? The same way?
- Not to seem too eager... but what kind of things you guys thinking of for planetary invasion?
- a totally random one, just for fun and more a part of the back-story... but do the Arceans have dreadlocks (I saw this referenced in a AAR) kinda like Predators off of Alien vs. Predators?

Those are the basic questions I have as of now. I hope someone can answer some of these for me. Anyone else feel free to post your own questions here.

I don't know the answer to most of your questions but I've played the beta and the Iconian ships look the same as in Dark Avatar. The organic technology that the Iconians have is in the form of an hp boosting ship component that is better than everyone else's and a tech that gives +100 repair to simulate self-healing hulls.

how the heck we beat that... the Dreds now are invinvable I think.
sent 30 ships combo missile and drivers ships, 1 shot each of the best tech's I had at the time M=2-4 drv=1-3.
got the Dredd frigate down to 1HP fast, then it had 9 more, got to 1, he got 10 more, got to 2 he got 10 more..
Amassing a 75 ship fleet now but the maint is a killer.

help..

Dread Lords are a real pain to kill in DA due to the tie rule. If both sides of a combat will be destroyed, the last two surviving ships will be compared and the stronger design will survive with one point. Low tech ships simply cannot kill a Dread Lord any more. Instead, tech up fast. Huge hulls, psionic beams, and engines are all you need. Yes, it will be expensive. Yes, it will take a while to research those. But you only need one ship to win.
