On the Finale to the pre-release overview series, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson cover the Trade strategy card and all the ways the new trading system excites them. After a lot of open-ended discussion, they finally wrap up their race introductions with a return to Xxcha Kingdom, Ghosts of Creuss, Clan of Saar, as well as introductions for Mentak Coalition and THE space cats, the Emirates of Hacan. And to top off an already long episode, this one closes with errata centered around our Technology episode.

Great post, i'm glad that it was that long, it covered everything well.

Looking at Promissory notes, there are a few points.

The Mentak and Virus notes are worthless. Although they may stop you being the victims of the racial powers, they in no way stop that race smacking you. They only get your planets, not your tech or TG's. and if you hit back, you lose the note. Might be worth it if the Mentak are dug in a Rex and you're not a pie slice neighbor, as they are unlikely to go over the top, but otherwise useless.

The Creuss IFF likely stands for Identification Friend Foe - a military term as a unit identifier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identification_friend_or_foe

Hacan. I strongly, STRONGLY disagree about Quantum Datahub Node. It is likely the strongest racial tech in the game. YOU CAN TAKE IMPERIAL EVERY TURN!!!!! This means Vp's, and the game. You can also guarantee trade is in the game each turn by taking it and then giving it away.

It nearly sunk them in TI3, because they could only do it with trade partners, and if they got it, people attacked them to break the trade agreement. There is no stopping it this time.
