Do minor alien races 10-16 ever show up in a game? I've not seen them.

Late races often use the default image and not the unique logos and images of alien races 10-16?

Anyone know?

I noticed this too.

No idea why.

I have seen SOME of the 10-16 logos before, but when I was swapping the graphics files I realized that I had never seen quite a few of them.

Now that I've swapped graphics files I only ever seem to see unique graphics for

Alexians
Carinoids
Scottlingas
I-League

I thought maybe I screwed something up, but you're right I think it was always that way.

I think so too, but most of the time some major race destroys the new race for the planet....

Yeah, it does repeat itself alot the minor races all pretty much have the same logo... I wonder if we can change that? LOL

There are quite a few logos that are in the GFX directory but are not being used.

It seems the starting minors will get proper images, and the I-league... occassionally one of the new ones... but 9/10 of the time they use tradeimage_default which is boring :(

Yeah!!!

Hey programmers, Frogone, CariDwarfo, how about
using images 10-16 for more minor races? :D

hehe

Great work! thanks for the great game!

I noticed that the Venge (#15 I think) always gets their own picture and not default image. Every time they get eliminated I get a message that a "great terrorist threat" was eliminated from the galaxy.

I've never gotten the Dread Lords and similar events, maybe the other pics are for that. But it seems like a lot of Minors get the exact same picture now (on a long game, big map).

The Venge are a great terrorist threat because they start crapping up your planets by nuking them or something. They drop the PQ down to the gutter. Lost two like that before I took them out.

Do you get a message or something that the Venge are doing that?

I normally don't spend much (or any) on espionage, but never seen them do anything weird... just another Minor, except for that message when they get wiped out.
