While the resulting ability could be considered sub-par note Summon Mini-U, which just summons a smaller version of your ship to add to your fleet the only advantage this has over just having allies in your fleet is that it won't piss anyone off by being destroyed., you can always go through a Change Archetype mission later on in the Space Stage. One of the more common paths for more experienced players is Red-Red-Green-Blue, which gives what are considered the best consequence perks in the Space Stage (Increased ship health, increased ship energy, bonus to relationships with new empires, and faster spice production).Experienced players, however, tend to go carnivore because its Space Stage bonus of increased energy capacity is far better than the other two bonuses, though even they will often keep a cell stage mouth that lets them be an omnivore for at least the Creature Stage.

9 times out of 10, planets will be populated with herbivores and omnivores, with few or even no carnivores. This becomes especially noticeable in the Space Stage: as terraforming requires two unique herbivores and one omnivore/carnivore per level. Dedicated carnivores are very rare - it's not uncommon for people to honestly not know that playing as a social carnivore is possible (even easy). Since being an omnivore makes it easier to choose between social or aggressive states, the vast majority of downloads you'll find - especially of creatures from other players' campaign mode - will be omnivores.

Just try finding a late-game creature without wings.

It's all too easy to get attached to certain parts and to use those in all your creations.

Originally featured in three silly adventures made by MaxisCimino, their near-instant popularity across the casual playerbase caused disgruntlement with more serious players due to the ubiquity of the adventures coupled with their formulaic template and low quality.

Base-Breaking Character: Clark and Stanley.Slow the 'Epic Adventure' music down and it sounds like something from an epic boss fight.Galactic Adventures has Ambush and Epic Adventure note Original title: 'Heaven's Warriors' by Richard Harvey.Awesome Music: Like everything else in the game, part of the soundtrack is generated by a program made by Brian Eno!.The Blocks of Chance could be taken either way. It's not 100% clear if the Bards are a race of Anti-Nihilists or Stepford Smilers.Since terraforming planets makes them uninhabitable to the Grox, they might see anyone who does this as a potential threat. Are the Grox Absolute Xenophobes by nature, or did they take on that philosophy out of perceived necessity? After all, every other empire makes a habit of terraforming planets to suit their needs, and some missions have you terraforming planets you'd otherwise have no interest in.
