As the game shifts from early game to late, a Horatio player should begin to expel administrators and corporate heroes, in order to field high-level Commanders and Pilots on their fleets. This has two benefits: One, it allows for precise heroes to be crafted, and two, the cloned hero will retain all traits and experience of the copied hero, allowing for rapidly deployed, powerful heroes. Whereas other groups need to rely on luck of the draw for early administrators or late-game Commanders, Horatio can simply clone existing options as required. The second strength of Horatio is their theme: Cloning.Something to bear in mind is that Horatio have the slowest ship production of all stock races, meaning a protracted war can be crippling to ones economy.

The Horatio society reflects the nature of its founder and absolute ruler. At that point, it dawned on him how much more beautiful the galaxy would be if it too were filled with. Using his DNA for a template, Horatio created a race of obedient replicas of the most beautiful being in the entire universe - himself.īefore long, "Horatio, The First" as he was now known, had repopulated the planet with his likeness. Still bored and now also lonely, he turned to these facilities. Taking a single colony ship, Horatio set up base on a far flung planet that contained ancient cloning labs left by the Endless, which he would later name Horatio Prime.
