The Torians has only one ability.

from GalCiv3 Forums

I'm not sure, but did stardock plan for the Torians to have only one ability. The reason I'm not sure is because aquatic is kind of powerful.

I disagree, I feel that aquatic is kind of weak, and the adaptable trait is better.

The torians have two abilities

  • Amphibious - Colonize water plaents + extra terraform tile per age.
  • Discreet -- gain a free mercenary ship after discovering the bazaar.

+free half tech (can colonize level 1 extreme worlds but, only aquatic and get at least half production).  +full tech, can get full production on aquatic worlds :) the +1 tile per tech age to me is weak as I think this would be better if it was +1 per aquatic planet per tech age.

The only thing I dislike about it is adaptable can colonize both aquatic and frozen worlds right away therefore when planets are rare at the beginning of the game I prefer adaptable.

well its pretty dependant on map/game settings,

on a map with rare or none extreme planets both are pretty weak,

on a game witout tech trading torians gets better etc..

In every game I've played so far the Torians have surged ahead of all other races...

I've noticed how well the ai does is not dependent on abilities.

For the most part as I was learning how to install mods it messed things up a little more than the Torians I had to reinstall everything.
