Oh well, in any case for skirmishes you can always imitate them with a custom race, even if they would disappear completely from Twilight   

They'll still be in the regular game (that'd be pretty lame to take races OUT for an expansion) but they'll be gone in the campaign.

(Spoiler)...(/spoiler) sorry, shit timeshifting *g*

well that was foreseeable for the campaign, exterminated is exterminated

So who has been exterminated/changed as of the end of DA. I don't have DA and probably won't be able to get hold of it until (or if) it gets released in the UK stores, so I'd like to know what's been happening in the campaign after the Terrans left for the Dread Lords realm.

It is admittedly unlikely that every last Drath was killed, but then one Drath does not a civilisation make. It's more likely that the Drath Legion as an organised government was destroyed, their military and industrial capabilities obliterated, and the racial remnants enslaved or exiled. Think about what happens when any planet is conquered in GC2 -- you go in with 1000 troops, and if the planet falls the planet population doesn't drop to 1000; you're actually left with several million. This is because the planet's armed forces are removed, the government replaced, and the rest of the inhabitants "persuaded" to cooperate with their new masters. So there's undoubtedly some Drath left, though they have no capability of asserting themselves on a galactic scale.

That's my opinion, at least.

Um... I agree with the first part, but the second is completely off.

You go in with 1 billion, not 1,000. When you found a colony with '500 people' you get a colony with .5 billion, not 500 people.
