As i was reading a sci fi book by J.Campbell Beyond the Frontier:Invincible , a fast conclusion formed in my mind: the heroes are screwed , they have meet the Snathi :
“(...)There are various—Oh, you mean this time? We haven’t had time to get the real remains and manipulate them. Those are still in quarantine. But we had virtual copies made and were able to play with those until we fit them together.” The doctor made fitting together small pieces of once-living creatures sound like a fascinating pastime. Next to the surgeon, a large image appeared.Geary stared, speechless for a moment. Finally recovering, he tapped a control to forward the image. “Tanya, this is what they look like.”She gave him a curious glance, then sat looking for a while at the image Geary had sent before she could say anything. “You’re kidding.”“No.”“Teddy bears.” Desjani pointed at the chubby, furry image. “We were attacked by teddy bears?”The creature, at least in this virtual reconstruction, was about a meter tall and covered with short, curly fur. The virtual image didn’t display any blood or exposed internal body parts, just blurred filler in sometimes large sections where needed. The creature, with gleaming eyes set amid chubby cheeks, a shovel snout that seemed more cowlike than bearlike, and rounded ears above the skull, appeared to be . . . cute. “They’re carnivores?” Geary asked the doctor.“No. Herbivores.”“Herbivores?”“Cows,” Desjani said in a hollow voice. “Cute little cows. Homicidal, cute little teddy bear-cows who build giant war machines.”Geary took another look at the image, his imagination supplying a malicious glint to the adorable eyes set in the chubby face of the teddy bear-cow.

I really laughed hard , it tottaly matched my reccolection from galciv 2. For those that dont remember, it was a independant race that was quite fearsome and looked like this :

They also had a lot of funny puns about nuts and stuff:) Hope they will be back in Galciv 3 , or somethign equally hilarious:)
It was said on a devstream that they are planned to be a DLC Race.
not a dlc race, but more like a dlc special AI script/scenario, in which they will go crazy. They will just be a regular minor race unless you use the dlc game mode.
I thought they said you could play as the Snathi if you got the DLC?
what's so special about that that it would require a DLC instead of just making a custom race?
edit: 13:40 into the first stream talks abit about it but its not the snathi part.
THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! AHHGGGG!
GC3 will have custom tech trees for all playable races. So, yeah, you could play the Snathi as a "custom" race. But the DLC will have a new custom tech tree (and likely a couple of other race-specific abilities) for them.
I'm going to suspect that there will be a whole bunch of these Minor Races as DLC. Dunno what the pricing will be, but I can't imagine it will be more than a couple of bucks, each.

and that post from frogboy about dlc and expansion pricing.
i THINK 5 dollar/euro
It's all speculation at this point, and I would expect that DLC has a varied price points, depending on what is included. For example, I'd expect that a single Minor Race pack as well as a 5-pack would be available. Which might be more or less expensive than things like a whole new set of ship shapes, etc.
The Snathi are squirrels, not teddy bears. Those people are actually under attack by the Ewoks.
Hmm you are correct, but for some reason the Snathi jumped to my mind , not the Ewoks:).
I always though of them more as teddy bears when playing gc 2 and looking at the image from gc2 now I still think teddy bear not squirrel
You're not truly screwed until you see a mini-lop rabbit with a switchblade and a Glock.
Not for Elite founders. We get all expansions and DLC included!
