A gambler's race: ''if'' this race finds a few "wet" planets (Tundra, Ocean, Swamp, Terran) early in the game, it quickly becomes a monster in both production and research. In this case it should research and build Cloning Centers early to maximize population growth. | |||
A variant of this race has only +1 Industry and adds +50% Population Growth. | |||

Works well in most starting positions (good or bad); its gamble is that a nearby aggressor will not take advantage of UniTol's slow early research by blitzing it. UniTol should expand fast in the beginning to gain population and research and build Soil Enrichment early (1 extra food per farmer), so that it can move some people off farming. | |||
