| Racial Points Available | Modifying your characteristics costs Racial Points. This display shows how many racial points you currently have remaining out of the total available. When you increase a characteristic to higher than 100%, it will cost you racial points (the cost is dependent on the characteristic you are changing). If you reduce a characteristic below 100%, then you will actually gain racial points to spend. You cannot create your empire if the number of racial points is in the negative. | |
