What do the races even do anyway? Information about this game is scarce, but your spells units and everything seem to be based on your class and not your race.
Like I said information is sparse and I can't figure out if I want this game or not. The rouge trailer looks neat though.
http://ageofwonders.com/classes/rogue/ The idea of sending ambassador courtesans to other empires interest me. I like it when these games have diplomatic units to go along with diplomacy. Like how sins of a soar empire had ambassador ships you could use to improve relations with someone well at the same time buffing them.
