Keeper[编辑 | 编辑源代码]

The Keeper of a race is the only empire that can apply Race Transformation spells to the race. There are three ways for an empire to become the Keeper of a race.

If the race does not have a Keeper, the empire must control 40% of the race's Population.
If the race has a Keeper and no empire started with that race, the empire must control 5 more Population from that race than the current Keeper.
If the race is the starting race of another empire, the Keeper must be defeated first.
