A quick question to anyone else who has had experience playing as the Arceans a few times. Are they considered a warlike, conquering race by the other civilizations?
It states they are neutral, honorable, and an old race, but I do realize they are "Super Warrior" and they do have weapon/soldiering bonuses. So what is interesting is that the FIRST time I invade someone or a even a minor, I get the "Arcean threat has grown too great, the war has expanded" crap. Ive played them 3 or 4 different times now, and each time I make my first invasion I have got that message. I can play the Yor or the Korath and NEVER get that, people just let me invade invade invade, but seems that if I do it once with the Arcean the whole galaxy freaks out. 3 of the times i have not even been the most influential or "number 1" race. I was just sort of middle in the pack.
So I was just curious if the Arceans already start out looking to the other races like they are conquerors, and therefore when you start invading everyone freaks, or has it just been a weird string of bad luck? Because when I monitor the relations with other races, I am usually at neutral.
Last point, when i did invade it was never against the Altarians, so I was ruling out that ability, but in 2 of the games, the Drath were in the galaxy, but I didnt attack them.
