Every time I see the Xhumans in game they are following the way of darkness, or are a military dictatorship. [:D]
Just luck of the draw, but that's the way they have always been for me.

The Ergreagd art is gorgeous. The concept as a whole is great. I think it would be cool to incorporate a race in the game that has a same mechanism as the "Cylons" from Battle Star Galactica, or life in general in the tabletop game "Eclipse Phase", where ground units can regenerate back home after they die and keep their memories. This could potentially be factored in-game as infantry bonuses.

the problem that game wont alow such complex mechanic, and there no place to implement it. Ergreagd are quite complex race already.... heck, they are almost an Evoker from dota 2, where they have own complex mechanics. They are powerfull, but also hard, because require minmaxing with all time switching goverments, btw they are practically ready except character system. I mking last tocuhes on ship art adding engine/light effects placements.

Cool! Once it done i will be able to issue Ergreagds as pre-alpha - they are completely done except character system.
Will be glad if people try them, test, and see/tell if they like the style/art, how balanced they are. (ive run quite alot of tests, and they are balanced, they 3 completely different goveremtns, and the key play is to play those goverements.

Characters will complicate/deepen things more , but its almost ready for vanilla-testing then :) (as race, not as part of beyund because it lacks major beyond feature)

Due huge amount of work on new immersive complex character system done for Beyond mod there was little pause (before it i released 1 race per 1-2 days)
This will continue : i will release approx 3-4 races per week.
Queue Changed alot due some priorities/changes (well, i deleted it, i will keep queue only for 3 next races)

This week: Xhumans come out tomorrow evening. Banoserit later, approx Tue - Thu. Sluken planned for Friday.

:D

My thanks.

What's with the tubes and medical equipment though? The picture should reflect their race image and backstory, and they really aren't relevant to the race in the game's setting. The only link is their origin story, where they were quarantined, but that didn't define their image. They should be portrayed as slightly more sinister-looking, but by-and-large Human and easy to identify with. Now they look too much like psychos and in my opinion, victims.

you dont like new version?
Its a virus, boy [8D]
What do you expect. Tell me what you see , i am inviting you to be a co-modder brainstorm wise.
I will do, i need ideas fo X Humans. Virus - i think its ok?
I just dont see something that is doable and something relevant.
I like how i made the head, its similar to original one but with some modifications, occulars etc...
Also XHumans quite benevolent. I dont see them like sinister type.

Once i will get to Character Generation for them then i will do tons of art, then i will readjust it, but i am quite ok with how it looks......for now , at least.... doing alot of trial-error is not good time wise for this mod, and if there any correction will be they will come during looking on current version.

The face should be similar to the race image (Looking down in a sinister manner, attractive woman) with a shadow covering the right of her face, left from our perspective (the character button). Give her glowing red/blue eyes or another cybernetic implant. They won't look evil, just different.

Then, they're superficially like Humans, but there's a very clear difference. I think that's the theme of the race.

Of course this is only my opinion, it's just something to keep in mind.

She have implant on left eye... and this image is very similar to original - simply resolution required for those buttons is VERY small, you wont see small details. Also on original she dont have glowing eyes. They are just humans genetically DNA reconstructed/changed.
