Hi there,
first of all, Gaia Project is a fantastic game with huge amount of play styles. There is no "but".
I understand, that playing it somewhat competitive, means choosing the right civ considering the map setting, victory tiles and technology position. Maybe even some mind gaming upfront. I am fine with that. But I recently had a conversation with another player about the top3 alien races, and he said, there is a statistic which pinpoints Ivits, Taklons and Itars as the races which win the most games per percentage by far.
And I did not know about that statistic before, and now, I am noticing in my games, that I am playing every game against those three races. And again, I do not mind losing. But it does not feel right if you can pick a race (disregarding whether you can play them), and you already have an advantage before the game even starts.
So either I start picking them as well to balance this game setting or I keep picking the lower tier races and just enjoy the game without competing for the top...
Neither option calms my inner monk.
