First, a hearty “Hello” to what looks like a great community from a long-time 4x gamer who just stumbled across this gem.
Second, thank you to Steve W for sharing with us all what looks like a true labor of love!
I’ve been reading up on the Wiki, reading the forums, and watching tutorial videos (and thanks to SpaceMarine and so many others for those, too!). I am confused about one thing, though, (well, MANY things, of course) and so want to ask: When setting up a new game (Playing C# v1. 11), when I set the number of NPR’s to 2, forex, will 2 NPR’s be set up automatically / randomly and be out there waiting for me, or do I need to do some setup myself?
Thanks in advance for insight, and I look forward to diving into this monster!
Greetings and welcome to Aurora 4x!!!
No, you don't need to do any setup for NPR. The abbreviation stands for "Non-player Race" which means it is a completely AI controlled faction in the game that is randomised and setup somewhere in the galaxy within a certain distance from you. These NPR will be active from the start and will explore and expand just like you. If you start as a conventional empire the NPR will not start as conventional and you will be at a disadvantage, just a heads up.
