Are underwater civs overrepresented?

I donโ€™t really see them at all, and when they are seen theyโ€™re usually not that interesting.

Though I suppose sentient plants arenโ€™t much more commonโ€ฆ

It seems everyone is in favor.
I guess I will work on a neat document regarding plants and gameplay according to my opinion and the knowledge we know.
Hope to expand your knowledge :slight_smile:

Besides plants do you have useful knowledge on other sorts of organisms thatโ€™d be useful enough to the developers?

I have a basic knowledge of fungi and their life cycles (and perhaps their evolutionary history - they are probably the first multicellular species, with the earliest record being 2.1 billion years old)

Is it extensive enough for you to share it with us too though?

I will combine them with the writing.

So will it be written as itโ€™s own section or intertwined with the plants?

I just saw Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Yeahโ€ฆI did not like it. It had problems with plot (including just killing off Mutt), the action, Helena Shawโ€™s character, wasting Salahโ€™s and Marionโ€™s (especially) characters as cameos, wasting Antonio Banderaโ€™s character, the music was not good (no coherent leitmotif). I have nothing against people who did like it; it is great that they found something that they enjoyed.


Which Indiana Jones movie is your favorite?

  • Raiders of the Lost Ark
  • The Temple of Doom
  • The Last Crusade
  • The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
  • The Dial of Destiny

I mean, if they did it better it would be great, they mostly just retconned the already good books instead of making an adaptation or adapting Georgeโ€™s notes

Plus pretty sure they decanonized a lot of stuff.


It has been a year since my (current) sweep started.

Thereโ€™s more stuff they decanonized than kept canon

Happy anniversary of your sweep

Pretty sure this is the longest sweep in the history of the forumsโ€ฆ Though who knows what do the old ones have up their sleeve.
