Cultural archives

#1 Post by Nexus »

A while ago I saw that some technologically advanced natives had their own cultural archive, but it hasn't happened in any of my recent games. Has this feature been removed? I kinda liked it, it gave the natives a bit more individuality. It also made the game richer, because you'd sometimes have to decide whether or not to keep a less-than-useful species for the sake of the Archive.

Cultural Library, not Archive, but same art. Not removed, only appears on a proportion of High Tech Natives, so needs both Natives and Specials on and to occur together, which depending on your settings might not happen often. And yes, nice little feature (although I generally find the homeworld bonus alone is a reason to keep 99% of all species unless I'm playing Trith).

Oh, they're two different things. I play with specials and natives set to "high" so I figured I should see them more often but I guess I've just been unlucky.
