I do believe the above has been changed for (at least) the Gold Edition of the game, inherent bonuses and racial bonuses now stack, instead of being eliminated. And for most part it is inefficient to select a higher bonus, because you lose any benefit from the inherent bonus since there is no discount and you are charged normally for that higher bonus. Obviously it makes no sense to pick any bonus less than 25 since you are just hurting yourself. However once you pick any bonus at all for a Military production bonus (whether more or less than 25), the +25 bonus disappears (the other inherent bonuses are not affected) and you are charged normally for the bonus you selected.
For example, if you play the Drath Legion, they have among other special bonuses a inherent Military production bonus of +25. This inherent bonus will disappear though if you try to select a bonus in that category. The only exceptions are the Arcean Empire and the Iconian Refuge who only have logistics bonuses and nothing else. , all of which have their own inherent bonus in different areas. Same goes for other races, like the Terran Alliance, Drengin Empire, Altarian Republic etc. Take the Thalan Empire, you will find that they have a Loyalty bonus of +40 even though such an option is not selectable (you can normally take only +10,+15 or +20) or the Drath Legion who have a Military production bonus +25 when the normal selectable bonuses are +10,+20,+30 and +50. Secondly, most of the races will be showing some inherent bonuses at values that cannot be normally selected. These abilities are neither selectable nor removable. You will notice that for most of the major races (this includes the 'custom race' slot), they are also spotting bonuses that aren't selectable or deselectable.įirstly, all of them have logistics bonuses between 5% to 8% and some like the Yor Collective and the Thalan Empire have Miniaturization bonuses as well.
To the limit, you will end up with 10 points to use for all major races once you remove the selectable bonuses.
You can remove also some of the bonuses, to gain back points to use.
Some of the ten major races actually have left over points that can be used to further improve the race.
