Hot posts in thread: Would an all robotic race fit ISG well?

Hmm. If you want to custom fit them to ISG then perhaps you can make all biomes tolerable for them... but.
To keep some balance, they would not have an "ideal" biome. -
A 100% robotic race won't need food at all. They will need more energy though.
Historically the main drawback in 4X games has been to make them micro-intensive. -

I think it would fit, MOO2 had it. The problem is that it consumes more development time.

Many 4x games have a robotic race, that has distinct advantages and drawbacks:
- No food
- Have to "manufacture new citizens" (this can get micro intensive)
- Tolerant to harsh climates (ex: better planet choice)
Do you think that an ISG robotic race would do well? What would you prefer if there were unique mechanics for this race.
It could also be cybernetic (think the Borg from Star Trek).
