Possible Ithkul Picture on page 161 of Strategy Guide (Spoiler?) Increase Your PM Length



I was right!!!!!!!!!!!

Found this after the guide was published in December and it was mentioned in this forum and as a news item in Apolyton.

Detractors said it could have been just a human in funny looking powered armor. Now that the game is out it looks like we are both right. The Ithkul do look like humans in funny looking armor. Reminds me of a costume in a cheap B movie...

Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

I still don't get why they were such a big secret... But I wasn't following the game closely either, first reading of the backstory has been through reviews/manual. Just kinda odd, but compared to other races, whats the big deal?

I think they were intended to be a little secret, just a cool extra that you get to discover after you buy the game and install it. Unfortunately people went to such great lengths to spoil the surprise and consequently to block them that it became a much bigger deal than it ought to have been. Nobody is foaming over the origins of humanity or the nature of the X's, for example.

I really thought they got carried away with the secrecy. The government isn't as hyper as they got. That made finding it in the strategy guide sweeter.

Got spare money?

Well, the first time I met them in game they attacked me. Then again, it was on like turn six...naturally my first game ever and...New Orions one system to the left, harvesters one system to the right. Damnit!

The New Orions prefer to kill you with spies than military might (the other races look unkindly on New Orion aggression.) The Ikthul are more direct.
