It is the 42nd Millennium and the Imperium is on its last legs.

In this dark scenario, decide the fate of a minor Xenos civilisation with significant latent power, as they become a cosmopolitical entity and attempt to shine a ray of light into the dark morass around them.

Species selection vote initiated

    • Ok, after some thought, I decided to end the moratorium earlier.

    Voting begins!

    You have 48 hours to vote for your preferred species.

    If there is a tie at the end, an extra 12 hours will be given to break it.

    PS- Guess I should have mentioned this earlier.

    You can't vote for two options at once.

    • Ok, time to call the vote.

    Drak'xarim win easily enough.

    After this, we will be working on designing the homeworld.

    • All right, you may start to vote for your preferred homeworld candidate.

    You have 48 hours.

    In case two options are tied, you get an extra 12 hours.

    In case multiple options get comparable numbers of votes, I will analyse the said options and approve a "consensus option" by mixing elements of the aforementioned options.

    PS- Plans with negative scores for planet candidates are invalid.

    You can't vote for two options either at once or separately.

    • Homeworld creation vote: Consensus plan
  • View content
    • After the vote, there has been a near-equal four-way split in the votes.

    To maintain a level of consensus (and hopefully placate everyone), here is a proposal:

    [X] Plan: Oceanic Hell
    -[X]Oceanic : Your planet is at least 70% composed of oceans and seas making it more expensive to build. (-3)
    -[x] Old Ones Ruins (+5)
    -[x] Ancient Human Ruins (+2)
    -[x] Eldar Ruins (-1)
    -[X] Very dangerous flora (-3)
    -[X] Very dangerous fauna (-4)
    -[x] Extremely Abundant (+5)
    -[X] High (+3)
    -[X] Tempestus
    -[X]Isolated? (Your planet is not the only one to support life in the local star system cluster, but you are out of touch with them)



    This will go into effect after an hour.
