Races

Just before you start playing it is possible to choose from 4 races:

There is a fifth race but it's not user playable, it's an alien race, the Kron Aliens, which is controlled by the AI.

Also, for each of the four races there is a Super-Race that can be gained. However, it works more like a "special career".

Clans can be formed only by players of the same race.
