Niche Gamer has published their recent interview with Stardock's Paul Boyer on the upcoming release of Galactic Civilizations III.
"NG: So, this is gonna be a tough question I think. But – What is your favorite race? And why?
PB: Oh….it’s changed like 5 times making this game. I really like the Iridium. I really like to play as a trader and an economic powerhouse, and they have a lot of bonuses toward that and are good at trade. Right now though I’m really enjoying playing the Thalian because they have a bunch of research things and a bunch of miniaturization techs and a bunch of universal shifty things. If you do it right, they can actually get more weapons on a ship than anyone else in the game. But I mean, that was the last tree I worked on, so after I built it I fell in love with it as I played with it."
