| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Yarh, but the screenshots i've seen don't ring with my preferred genre. |

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

It's gritty, hard sci-fi with a lot of freedom and spacecraft. And high stakes. But not like universe-high stakes, that's silly. |

Who here likes dawn of war 2? (aside from singemeister,Tyranid scum, My Eldar troops would crush you) Its an RTS-type strategy game set in warhammer 40k, the races already in it are, Tyranid (basiclly hive-mind insectoid-ish, pretty much a lot like the zerg, just loads more style) Eldar (Kick-ass space ninja ultra high-tech race, basicly specialising in high attack power, high speed, high stealth but very little defense) Orks (lots of guns, basicly the tactic "fire enough bullets and hope they hit the target" suits them, very easy to play as) Space Marines (Basicly the best all-round race, however they lack mobility and are very slow, great defense and attack, beginner race, not-so-much style though) Chaos (Evil version of space marines, very versatile, but they too lack high speed units, however they have an immense focus on close-combat units,unlike space marines who focus more on range) The Imperial guard and possibly the Tau will be introduced in future expansions/games |

It's on of the games I like in theory, but I've never played. When I get a new computer I might, and I hope they have the Guard by then. The Guard dies, but it does not surrender. Because on a good day what they fight would rape their soul if they surrendered. |

Tyranids devour your puny space elves. Your race will die. Squishy foods are squishy. Especially Tau. |

Xeno Scum is Xeno Scum. I wonder what will be coming out for Retribution? The Imperium is already represented by the spess merrens, so no Guard or Inquisition. I'm going to go with the Tau coming out next, last expansion had Chaos so I'd think they would want to balance it with a "good" faction. That or the Necrons, I doubt the Dark Eldar are going to get represented. Speaking of Warhammer video games, anyone else planning to get Dark Millennium Online?

i think it is almost definatly the imperial guard, they feature in the chaos rising campaign heavily (as in a lot of thier units feature), however it means that they would effectively be able to make an expansion that only added the guard,a campaign and several maps relatively quickly, meaning they are probably introducing another race as well,or they are creating a much larger campaign, hopefully both |

Who know, maybe we'll get two new factions. |

i hope so, imperial guard armour/vehicle will finally bring full-level armour/tank combat into the game, or at least it would create amusement as Tyranid armies meet large forces of armoured vehicles, the Tau would add in a much-needed race that would bring in more balance into the game as the SM or Chaos forces would no longer be the undisputed rulers of frontal, out-in-the-open, assaults and fire-fights while still allowing variety, the dark eldar could add some high-speed elements into the conflicts, the inquisition could do what the space marines do, just with sh*tloads more style and versatility,the Necrons could add some robotic skeletons who make chaos look like my grandma, any of the warhammer 40k factions could add something needed, however the Imperial Guard,Tau and Inquisition are the most likely candidates |

If the Inquisition get in it will probably be the Hereticus so we get chicks in powered armour. Inquisition would probably play like more specialised space marines. Speaking of =I=, how badass would it be if someone made a Warhammer 40,000 game similar to Mass Effect. You're a Inquisitor and have to choose your order and build up your retinue. You could play as a Puritan or a Radical. You could choose to work normally and get the support of planetary governments, Special Condition for extra secrecy or Rogue where the Inquisition itself is after you, but you have more operational freedom, well in some areas. |
