Would they prosper after the core’s death or are you doomed to fall?

[doomlightning (The Invisible Aztec Dodo Overgod of Thrive and everything else. Semi-professor of botany and avid plant abuser.)]

Depend on the fact if they successfully find a replacement to the core

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

If they do, does one get a second chance?

[doomlightning (The Invisible Aztec Dodo Overgod of Thrive and everything else. Semi-professor of botany and avid plant abuser.)]

Usulay - nope

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I see. So they’d become npc cores then, right?

[doomlightning (The Invisible Aztec Dodo Overgod of Thrive and everything else. Semi-professor of botany and avid plant abuser.)]

The core can be only players
that mean that playerless core its a dead core, lifeless

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So then the hivemind would create a false core of sorts?

[Nigel]

a hivemind isnt intrinsically linked to the existence of a leader figure
theyd just have no leader probably and roam around.
it would be like bees/ants without a hive/colony

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I suppose it will always be weaker without the dungeon core… right?

[Nigel]

in terms of direction and coordination? yeah.
in terms of raw unit stats? nah

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So the units of a hivemind core will get stronger without the core?

[Nigel]

no. theyll just have less direction and coordination while the stats stay the same

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I wonder how long will it take for them to fizzle out if they cannot replicate…

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

So if a dungeon core is captured by another dungeon, do all of the abilities from the captured dungeon core transfer over to the conqueror dungeon (if the attacking dungeon has an augment for that), or the just those abilities for the attacking dungeon with its same origins?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I feel like if you got ALL the abilities of the other core, that could be a bit unbalanced.

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

I am asking, since I am unsure of how transferring of abilities from dungeon cores would work if the origins of all the dungeons cores are different, and some Augments are tied to certain origins. For example, I have an Augment relying on the number of Ernalines origin.

[fralegend015 (Shroudmaster)]

You can’t absorb augments, you can enslave other cores.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Do you enslave others by chaining them when they’re at low vitality levels or something?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Enslaved cores are like puppets, where you no longer have control, becoming NPCs, right? Or are we still able to do actions, but have to follow the core who conquered us?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Since NPC cores aren’t supposed to exist the later it’d be I think.
