Races in TWIN EMPIRES

When you are designing your own races, make sure to keep them balanced! To do this, when assigning Classes to the Stats, give each class a number (A= -3, B= -2, C= -1, D= 0, E= 1, F= 2, G= 3) and make sure that when they are added together, that they come out at zero! This helps maintain play balance, and reduces the chance of your players all wanting to play the same race!

In all these years, humans haven't really changed much. We still look the same, have various fashions going at any one time, and still manage to get involved in wars amongst ourselves!! There are still the diverse cultures and appearances, although quite a few of these have started to blend towards each other (For example, most of the Asian languages have merged into the "Mandanese" language, and the European languages have disappeared so that English and German could take their places [The French still speak in French, though]).

Felinzi appear as Feline Centauroids. There are actually two cultures of Felinzi; the first are the "civilised" Felinzi that you could meet anywhere, and then there are the "wild" Felinzi that think nothing of killing a small child for wandering near to their territory! Needless to say, only the "civilised" Felinzi are allowed as Player Characters.

The Felinzi race comes from the same planet as the Mephit race, Imarii.
