[edit] Scientist Unique Power

The Scientist acquires the Gravitation Wave unique ability. Gravitation Wave can be used to destroy all tribes or cities on a planet, but breaks the Galactic Code. Note: If you are in the Tribal Stage or Civilization Stage, Scientists in the Space Stage won't use it on your planet.

[edit] Gaining The Scientist Archetype

[edit] Through Evolution

The Scientist archetype is awarded to species that gain an equal number of red and blue cards if the game is started from the cell or tribal stages, or two red and one blue/two blue and one red if the game is started from the creature stage.

[edit] Through Mission

First you must ally with an empire following this philosophy with a strength factor of 4 or 5, then you may request to become 'like' them from the mission interface. After paying §5,000,000, the mission given is to explore 20 non-planetary systems. Upon completion return to claim your reward and you will change your philosophy and associated archetype, losing your old superpower and gaining the Scientist's Gravitation Wave power.

Note: you may not explore 20 non-planetary systems and then automatically complete the mission upon its acceptance. You must accept and pay for the mission first, THEN explore 20 non-planetary systems.

[edit] Scientist's Philosophy

"We the Scientist Empire follow the Scrolls of Science.

"It is our duty to study, dissect and examine the universe around us. We seek knowledge and it is our fervent belief that every question can be answered with research, systematic categorization, dedication and logic. Knowledge is our fuel and there is no higher calling than learning. Those who try to prevent us from our scholarship do so at their own peril."

[edit] Voice

When encountered, Scientists speak with what seems to be an Artificial voice, with heavy similarities to that of Stephen Hawking.

[edit] Galactic Adventure Campaign

The Scientist campaign is TX-5000 Super Weapon, where the player must destroy the titular weapon.
