Well i've been holding off saying something because it was still early beta, and the game was not yet supposed to be any kind of fun (Plus only humans were available before so I was hoping we just didn't have more models). Hopefully this is still just in a conceptual stage, but the further we go along the less likely this appears to be...
The Race creation process is abysmal! Right now all the races pretty much look identical to each other, there is very little flexibility or customization, and there is nothing to make any race really any different besides a few stat differences etc.
I know the policy is not to request changes to core features- but if this stays as-is, the game is going to lose MAJOR points.
Let me start at the begining. Durring game setup, you should have the option to create a race prior to creating your soverign. Right now you need to select a soverign, create a race, than go back to soverign creation, select your new race, and than select the race again. Very unintuitive, and needlessly complex. If you made the race first, than you could select it durring soverign selection. On that note, wouldn't it make sense to have access to the race creator straight from the main menu?
As to the specifics of the race creator itself, we need a LOT more customization in racial appearance. Things like race height range, face options, clothing style (which by the way it would be really cool if we could change in-game), if they are fat or skinny, eye color, etc. etc. etc. - Right now every race looks like a re-skin of humans. The Trogs are the furthest from humans and even they are only a tiny bit different looking.
Races also need to be made fundamentally different from one another. We need many more racial options. Maybe add some neutral traits to the mix too, which provide both a positive and a negative (or an effect that is neither).
Please add more customization options!
