Can Kypiq houses be "chopped down" without siege equipment, since they're up in a tree?

Will resource distribution within biomes be less homogeneous than seemingly implied?

(e.g. Will Brudvir biome consist of 80% forest, 10% stone, 5% metal, 5% other? Or will it be closer to 40% forest, 30% stone, 20% metal, 10% other.... as a rough example)

With their essential immunity to hazards and ability to get food and water almost anywhere, don't the Dras pretty much bypass the survival aspect of the game entirely? As long as they stay out of the desert sun what other situations would really pose any challenge to Dras survival?


6/19/2017 3:45:43 PM #139

Will a Neran have an easier time learning Northerner over tropical because the Neran and the Brudvir share the same ancestor (Proto-neran)?

6/19/2017 4:38:35 PM #140

Are there limitations on what can Dras eat? Or they can pretty much eat anything?


6/19/2017 4:44:29 PM #141

Can you name some diseases we could get in-game? And how would the diseases and their spread work?

What would a Kypiq battle of wits look like?

How will existing pledge packages be handled for those of us who have Ursaphants and War Trison and end up in a Hrothi or Kypiq biome as a noble (due to community/Kingdom obligations)?

(Will the mount be swapped for something they can ride? Will it be acquired but unusable? Will it be melted into EP? etc.)

Add on to this question from someone whose father was a horse breaker in his early working career and has had some real life dealings with elephants I don't understand the interpretation of small being bad for mounts. Some of the best horse handlers on earth are the smaller built, when trying to mount the shoulders of an elephant at 6ft and 200lbs I had to use foreleg and trunk to get up where as the more agile 5ft 5in 120lb instructors were only using the trunk. Especially in water or soft ground where the elephant shouldn't kneel.

Why have you gone the concept of physical size matters to control the animal rather than a mental willpower type dominance role?

I can cope with having to leave my mount in stables in a transition biome where the destination biome doesn't support the mount's food or agility but this affects almost all terrains of soft ground, mountainous/rocky or arid/sandy terrains.

How is religion spread?


6/19/2017 6:38:39 PM #146

If a member of on tribe mates with another member of a different tribe how would that affect the child if one is conceived?
