When u go to choose opponent screen there is a description of your opponent but i think they are a bit wrong. iconians are described as strong diplomacy skills but weak research abilities while they should be the technologists of the game, altarians strong research abilities but they have no bonus in research abilities.Another question is bad diplomacy for yor or great defection rate for korx but there is no penalization for yor in diplomacy while there is no hit to morale for korx.
so they are only eye candy descriptions ?why iconians are described as weak research skills?
