Race names can be changed by editing the RACE.NM file

Run NAMERACE.EXE to change the names of the Races. This will edit the RACE.NM file.

Each Race has 3 name forms:

Long Name (up to 30 characters): Example: The Missing Colonies of Man

Plural Name (up to 20 characters): Example: The Colonies

Adjective Name (up to 12 characters): Example: Colonial

If a Player changes the names on his computer, it will only change the names on his computer.

If the Host changes the names on his computer, it will only change the names on his computer.

For everyone to see the same Race names, they must all have the same RACE.NM file.

Each Player represents one of the eleven Races.

Only one Player can play a specific Race in a game. (For instance, there can be only one Cyborg Player

in a game.

Each Race has a different set of Ships that it can build. Some of those Ships are universal and some are

Race specific.

Each Race has some special Abilities that only that Race can perform.

NOTE: No one Race is any 'better' than any other Race. Supposedly. : )
