I went and updated the species table again, and this time I remembered to update the size list as well. Nothing actually affecting anyone, just some replacing of redundant ES1 species with ES2 minor factions and some additions I must have forgotten last time.
Anyone heard of BlackBird recently? Rolak has been inactive for some time now.
I talked to him and he's sorta tired and lacking inspiration for making a post.
6:23 PM - CajunFriedCthullu: I think what happened is that i got into a ww2/famtasy kick while binging hearts of iron 6:23 PM - CajunFriedCthullu: And now that im off im in a sort of limbo 6:23 PM - CajunFriedCthullu: Anywho g'night
Also, he says it's okay if someone takes control of his character while he's inactive.
I would love if they would include every variant so that if you find Obot there is an equal chance for him to be any of the four. Like, in your last game he was the Uplifter and in your next game, he travelled alone for the last millennia.
I was more thinking of him, performing complicated brain surgery on them, with basic tools like sharp sticks and rocks, in order to increase their intelligence...
I don't know why, but uplifted description seemed to imply something more sinister and controversial than just teaching them how to make fire...
I personally cannot see the Rogue Uplifter and Swarm Commander variants working out. OpBot just seems a little too loyal to the Vaulters to assimilate like those two variants say he does. I am fascinated by the Production Comptroller variant; that banner it talks about is obviously going to be a Vaulter flag, which begs the question; if he's not specifically a Vaulter hero, are the Vaulters actually going to be a minor faction or not? If no, then both the Comptroller variant and Lone Explorer just work out, because what else is he going to do without the Vaulters?
If he would be separated from his family, with no possibility to get back, like in the uplifter scenario, we would probably try to make the best out of his current situation, like in the uplifter scenario. S this one maks sense, after all, teaching them spaceflight also helps him in returning to his family.
The commander variant on the other hand, really just doesn't work...
How you conduct brain surgery with sticks and rocks? :P
Ingredients you need:
1 stone knife (made by chipping a fist-sized piece of flint until you have a sharp edge)
1 stone drill (made by taking one of those flint chips and inserting it into a split end of a straight branch, then secure it by tying fiber around it)
lots of drugs (otherwise, the patient might complain about some unpleasant sensations)
plant leaves or leather strips useable as bandages
Then, you:
Shave the head of the patient so that the hair doesn't get into the way, using the stone knife.
Choose a spot on the skull of the patient, usually one above an ear. Remove a circular patch of scalp with the knife, scraping off the flesh until the bare bone is revealed (it's very much recommended to have the patient heavily drugged for this step)
Using the drill, bore one or more holes into the skull just exposed, until you can remove a piece of bone, so that there it a big enough hole.
Let the evil spirits escape through the hole. Religious chanting as required.
Cover the hole with healing herbs and the bandages. Give the patient a few days of rest.
If you think I'm kidding, I'm not. Stone-age peoples really did that. That's not the freaky part. The freaky part: Archaeologists found skulls with multiple trepanation marks, some of which were fully or partially healed. Which meant that people survived that procedure and went on to live a (relatively) healthy and happy life.
