Summary0017264: Race descriptions on New Game menu
DescriptionThis is probably for right before launch, but I don't see it elsewhere in mantis, so...

Just fired up SBR for the first time since getting my key, and the first thing I notice is that the races have nothing other than their names and difficulties. Now, as a previous AIW / TLF player, I have some idea who most of the races are, but otherwise I have no information as to why I should pick one particular race over another.

This probably only makes sense to address right before release, once the relative benefits of each race are settled.

For 0.903:

* In a new game you now pick a leader rather than a race.
** And the tooltips now list the racial theming modifiers (added new in this version, like the burlust police stuff), leader theming modifiers, the racial attack power multipliers, and the racial free techs (and buildings unlocked thereby).

Thanks :)
