Races and attacking?

[Danny696]

Ok, I've got a question, say there are Humans and Aliens in a game, should the humans be able to attack other humans or just Aliens. Thanks... (Hopefully the poll works)

Yes. You have to remember that people play games like this with friends, therefore attacking each other can sometimes be the most fun thing to do in the game. If you want the whole game as “A vs B” just makes sure you penalize people for attacking their own kind. That way anyone actively playing the game will avoid it, and stick to the the game's plot.

I vote Yes....

If players could not attack within the same race I could see the game becoming very unbalanced. For instance lets say 2 races available, Humans & Aliens. During signup 70% of players choose human, while it would give Aliens more targets, it would also make aliens targeted by more people. The exception would be if a players race was assigned during the registration process instead of being chosen by the player.
