Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars/Customized Races

During the start of a new game you will see the pre-built races and the custom race. Let's make a new customized race by selecting the Custom Race button.

In this menu, you will see a pull down menu to select from the pre-built races. Select which ever one you desire (like Human as an example)

Note: The order with which you select an attribute is regulated such that the game will not let you have negative points for attribute selection. So the order with which you select positive or negative points is important.

One of the factors with getting your empire off the ground is to have increased growth at your colonies.

Baseline Attributes
Select the following as a baseline:
 * Production from Population -> +25 = more empire production from the same colonies
 * Research from Population -> +25 = more empire research from the same colonies
 * Home World Size -> Large = more people on the Home World
 * Home World Minerals -> Rich = more minerals for faster production

From this baseline, you can build a race to maximum the ability to hit a winning goal.
