Patriot - This has the focus of Defense in his potentials. many of the special powers this has thru the stages reflect that. For example, mouths that combind good social with above average attacks capable of eating fruit and eggs.

To achieve: its a balance between omnivore and herbivore.

Mauler - These are the reverse of the Patriots. They solely dwell on battle more than even the predator. For example, thers NO social advantages with them, further, they can ONLY eat meat, not eggs.

To achieve: its the cross between carnivore and omnivore.

Dragoon - These forces are a strong offensive powerhouse. Their belief focus is that of power. Only the strong, intelligent, or very agressive players should have the right to live. Special technology is crusher missle which can destroy any ship in 1 hit.

Mercenary - These are somewhat akin to the prosperity forces, but on a more neutral tone. They are the most neutral group in existance, only caring about their own survival. Their special is Assimulator node. This means that they may use any technology that exists in the ships allied with their main ship.

Guardian - This is a strong defensive group that serves to protect others. Their belief focus is compassion. They almost always easily allied themselevs with the weak, undeveloped nations, but they hate any nation that achieves too much strength. Special technology is wave unit which can either repulse or attract enemy ships.

Tactician - Somewhat like the scientist, but focusses solely on battle fundamentals. His great desire is to learn every battle fundamental in existance, choosing missions that help to further his understanding of combat. Special technology is raid modules. This will steal the systems of the enemy ships.

Logistician - Logistics or exploration, but not to be confused with the explore option. This person seeks to travel and explore. His ultimate goal is to seek and find all the artefacts and rare areas throughout the galaxy. Special technology is celestial sensors which lets him see which planet systems have special treasures, and the locations of other ships.

Yet to come:

new creature adaptations
new diplomatic options

Burrowing - This would give a new form of travel to creatures. At lv5, they could dig thru just about any kind of hill or mountain, reguardless the composition of the rocks it would posess. Just imagine moles, for example!

Ramming - A way to shake fruits out of a tree. Higher levels would make more fruit fall from larger trees. At lv5, even the fruits of the biggest trees would easily fall down.

Habitating - Some animals like stealing nests. This would give you the option to change your home nest to any species you would make extinct. However, this feature has no levels to it.

Whine - If your species lacks certain social skills, this one can work as an alternative. Its not very reliable, but more intelligent animals will be more likely to understand what you are getting at. Its good for creatures with low social values that intend to do a lot of conversions.

Taunt - A dangerous social skill to use. Monsters with strong offensive values are likely to turn enemy. However, weaker or more social animals may be incited to convert to your side with this. It can be a very useful social skill to have dependant on what you face.

Specialty - This social skill does a unique move dependant on the choice you did in the first stage. If no stage exists, I would ignore it. Its basicly super effective against creatures of the same dietary style as the pertaining creature.

Latch - Found on varying hands. You would grab onto another creature. The higher the level, the harder it would be for the creature to break free of latch. Good for mounting a dangerous offensive strike on some monsters. However, each attack from either side has a chance to release this, equal to 1:level odds.

Sling - A tail attack. Not very strong, but may catch a creature off guard, disrupting an attack or 2. Faster than other kinds of attacks. This move can be a very flexible attack as well. Its more efficient against monsters with low hp values. Cannot be countered, and is very effective versus Rampage.

Counter - Auto ability. Only patriots and herbivores can have this. There would be a chance, when attacked, the creature would react and attack back. Not very powerful, and the chances are only 10% times the stage, but very useful to have.

Rampage - A furious rampage that is only available to carnivores and maulers. Does heavy damage, and pushes other creatures away. But this one is horribly slow to recharge, and even costs health to execute. But the strength of this move is simply incredible.

Teamwork - Call on your allies to execute a major form of attack that uses all of them at once. Only those with this ability join into the pertaining attack. This can be a very useful skill, but beware countering and rampage units when this is applied. To execute, you will need to use a second attack.

Cell stage

Ship ruins - when your asteroid crashes into the sea, there would be a chance to re-find it. Usually its not there, but sometimes it will appear. In such cases, it would grant an instant win with all the features enabled. But... reaching the core of it would be extremely hard! (availabe only on hard, worth a new award)

Creature stage

Transciever unit - Sometimes the aliens would have a small accident with their ship and not discover it for quite a while. If your creature enters social mode, and you interact with this device, you could pick one of these bonuses:

(1) I wish to leave a mark....

The aliens would actually super size your group. It only works 5 times. However.... if you can actually beat an epic this way, the aliens would ally with you even in the creature phaze, further, they would support your speedy advancement to the space age, even helping you to choose your final job status.

(2) A lust for power

The aliens would support your ventures to reach other continents. However, you could only evolve on the main continent. The creatures on the other continenents are guaranteed to be equal or higher to the genetic complexity of your creature at the time of interaction.

(3) Make us well known

The alien would leave, but would tell many of the nearby races of your existance. Further, this would grant a +10 in relationships with all races everywhere. This would also make your species seen more frequently.

(4) I am a rare creature

Its simple. They discover that your species is very rare. Put simply, games and planets would be much less likely to have a version of your species in any form. Especially the later stages... Further, they would loose contact with your species.

(5) Double agent

This one is devious. If you became a patriot or mauler in any stage, they would divide that into 2 elements. Whatever 2 that it balances between. It would provide you with potentially more flexibility. If you are neither, however, all the way thru, they would award you with 200,000 sporebucks and lv1 in every badge.

(6) Tribal lore

Put simply, your tribe woud begin with all the tribal buildings. Further, it would have 100 points initual food.

(7) Gene Hunter

Pick any 3 genetic elements. The aliens would reveal those genes to you.
