Greenlanders
Greenlanders are the wasteland's default. That sounds dull until you realise being unremarkable is its own kind of safety.
The baseline human race — no special strengths, no special weaknesses, and welcome almost everywhere.
Overview
Greenlanders are the standard human race — balanced stats, no environmental quirks, and the broadest social acceptance of any race.
Strengths
Greenlander males are tolerated by the Holy Nation, opening the safe green centre of the map. They have no stat penalties and adapt to any build.
Weaknesses
They have no standout strengths either — no bonus toughness, no faster healing, no immunity to anything. They are the benchmark every other race is measured against.
Best Playstyles
Anything. Greenlanders suit every build, and a Greenlander male is the most frictionless choice for a first playthrough.
