| 00:00.15 | Xho | Nu - computing power in this phone is more than I can compute pain to your face |
| 00:00.17 | TekPC | Fictionverse is in an age where most empires could feasibly build sentient AIs. :P |
| 00:00.22 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 00:00.25 | GD12 | yes |
| 00:00.27 | GD12 | but rule of cool |
| 00:00.53 | Xho | Imagine the computing power behind an Agent |
| 00:01.08 | TekPC | Bah, trying to throw my SE screenshots in an album but wi-fi is slow. -.- |
| 00:01.10 | GD12 | If its a key point for fiction that Kicathian is hard to translate I don't see any reason to force NLP and AI down anyones rectum |
| 00:01.24 | Xho | NLP? |
| 00:01.29 | GD12 | natural language processing |
| 00:01.46 | GD12 | so computers understanding text and stuff |
| 00:01.54 | GD12 | and speech etc |
| 00:01.58 | Xho | Kicathian isn't impossible to translate, I'd imagine a translator could pick up the gist of it though uneducated individuals might think of it as gibberish |
| 00:02.06 | GD12 | TekDroid : There is a student led class at my uni called The Theory of Fanfiction |
| 00:02.11 | Xho | It would come out as broken |
| 00:02.19 | TekPC | Given enough time and processing power there's no such thing as a language that can't be translated. :P |
| 00:02.28 | Xho | True |
| 00:02.48 | GD12 | I think the fundamental difficulty right now is algorithmic |
| 00:02.48 | Wormy_ | Drodo, TekPC: Remember this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gnHWuEcY3w |
| 00:02.53 | GD12 | but thats besides the point |
| 00:02.55 | Xho | Though since the Kicath are proficient in various other languages I can't imagine it being of importance that foreigners would want to understand Kicathian |
| 00:03.06 | TekPC | is still in that lecture with no headphones. >.> |
| 00:03.19 | GD12 | I'd assume that hard CS problems now would be as easy as fibonacci in the first gig |
| 00:03.29 | Monet | Most contemporary Rl computers require something as simple as the word "dog" to be translated into 24-digit binary. |
| 00:04.01 | GD12 | I'd assume the iphone of a ficverse denizen would easily have the combined computing power of the world today |
| 00:04.14 | TekPC | https://imgur.com/a/rNxrj So this is a bunch of SE planets I might use in fiction (other than the neutron star I threw in by accident. :P) |
| 00:04.20 | Xho | Kicathian computational power in general though, it sort of spills into clarketech |
| 00:04.21 | GD12 | Thats just given Moore's law, to say nothing of algorithmic advances |
| 00:04.25 | GD12 | aye |
| 00:04.29 | GD12 | well kicath have hypercomputation |
| 00:04.43 | Wormy_ | TekPC: Its the one with the sweeping sound in the beginning followed by a rising tone and drum beats at the end |
| 00:04.51 | GD12 | i think thats classified as clarketech |
| 00:04.54 | Monet | GD12: Fictionverse powers might need SI units after zotta lol |
| 00:04.59 | GD12 | lol yeah |
| 00:05.18 | GD12 | An iPhone has more computational power than the guidance systems used for Cold War ICBMS iirc |
| 00:05.22 | Wormy_ | What I love about SE is when all the potentialities roll together and you get wacky emergence |
| 00:05.22 | Xho | I can sort of shrug it off saying that they're genetically linked to a god-race so they possibly have mental capabilities beyond that of most when thinking at their hardest |
| 00:05.51 | GD12 | Well there are different Kicathian variants iirc |
| 00:06.09 | GD12 | so you can say that the most special/rare among them are capable of unique scientific breakthroughs |
| 00:06.24 | Xho | Possibly but such variants are rare |
| 00:06.41 | Xho | There's no named Alpha/Sampi Kicath in fiction |
| 00:06.48 | GD12 | so are the einsteins of the world |
| 00:07.06 | TekPC | Wormy_: Some of those rare things that just combine into something unexpected... You never know what to expect. XD |
| 00:07.48 | Xho | Most of the Kicath's unique characteristics certainly revolve around computation though |
| 00:07.56 | Xho | Hypercomputers and Agents mainly |
| 00:08.03 | Wormy_ | Like, today I found a tidally docked oceana. The temperate line had a fractal coastline of ice. I also found a gas giant with a double shadow cast from its moons |
| 00:08.05 | GD12 | XHo : I don't recall Sampi being a letter in the Greek Alphabet? |
| 00:08.24 | GD12 | Agents are mentally insane and snarky computers :) |
| 00:08.24 | Xho | It's an archaic letter |
| 00:08.26 | GD12 | i see |
| 00:08.55 | Xho | I once had the thought of the next-gen Agents all being Kicathian AI governed by a series of hypercomputers |
| 00:09.00 | Xho | But that's actually overkill |
| 00:09.04 | TekPC | Also one really awesome things is that the way star are generated you can actually share the names of a star and other people can find it too. |
| 00:10.00 | TekPC | For instance, RS 8409-2285-9-90544737-32 would take you to that planet in a nebula I shared earlier. |
| 00:10.04 | Xho | They could certainly construct an AI with Agent-level martial capabilities, Agent IVs are teetering into that thought process |
| 00:10.05 | Wormy_ | I'll share some of my systems if you like |
| 00:10.32 | Wormy_ | I'll pastie some good ones tomorrow maybe |
| 00:10.33 | DrodoEmpire | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhengtong_Emperor - TekPC I was bored so I found the EUIV ruler for Ming at 1444 |
| 00:11.09 | DrodoEmpire | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esen_Taishi - Also the really great general the Oirats get at 1444 |
| 00:11.16 | Monet | Xho: Maybe one of the comapnies is a cybernetics firm? |
| 00:11.23 | Xho | That's what I was thinking |
| 00:11.29 | Xho | Cyberpunk and cybernetics and whatnot |
| 00:11.30 | TekPC | I have a list of about 3 dozen systems with a habtable or nearly habitable world I might use with fiction, all located roughly near the Katar Sector. XD |
| 00:11.43 | Xho | I'm not sure whether the Kicath would hybridise organic thought processes with artificial intelligences though |
| 00:12.02 | Xho | If they did it would explain Nu in a sense |
| 00:12.39 | TekPC | You could have them try that with Nu only to have them stop after that went horribly wrong/right. :P |
| 00:12.57 | Xho | The Kicath's idea of 'right' is our idea of 'wrong' usually |
| 00:13.13 | Monet | Well dictionary-wise cybernetics is the exporation of regulatory processes and the possibilities to them |
| 00:13.31 | Xho | If they could turn Nu into the Gigaquadrant's ultimate killing machine they would without hesitation |
| 00:13.31 | Wormy_ | Tek: How to I find a shared planet? Do I need to insert it into a data file because SE search couldn't find it |
| 00:13.33 | Monet | So it's not just machine-organic interfacing |
| 00:14.31 | TekPC | Wormy_: Might have formatted it wrong, just type it into the normal F3 search usually. You have to type the whole thing and hit enter, doesn't show up on list. |
| 00:14.41 | Xho | The Kicath do love their cybernetics though |
| 00:15.01 | Wormy_ | object not found |
| 00:15.21 | TekPC | Let's try this then. RS 8409-2285-5-7164-41 |
| 00:16.38 | TekPC | I also had found a system with 13 life planets, 2 of them warm terras with multicellular life. :D |
| 00:16.47 | Wormy_ | Hm, took me two a double binary |
| 00:16.59 | Monet | Xho: Maybe the firm makes civilian augmentations? |
| 00:17.06 | Xho | Likely |
| 00:17.16 | TekPC | Yeah, that one should be a binary with a warm oceania in it? |
| 00:17.20 | Xho | Augmentations in the Kicath race is basically pop-culture |
| 00:18.35 | Wormy_ | There is one orbiting a gas giant |
| 00:18.37 | TekPC | Farengeto also shares a strong embrace on augmentation. They have a neural implant that is basically what cell phones are to us. :P |
| 00:19.17 | TekPC | Hm... Planet A3 should be a Warm Oceania in that one. |
| 00:19.27 | Monet | So far the company list contains 3 heavy manufacturing conglomorates, one energy firm and one biotech corporation. |
| 00:20.30 | Wormy_ | Nevermind |
| 00:21.16 | TekPC | RS 8409-2175-7-900978-26 This was a neat find, planet A4 is a temperate Terra with ~1g gravity and ~1atm atmosphere. :O |
| 00:21.50 | Xho | Being a relatively ancient culture the Kicath's advances in cybernetics would be quite heavy |
| 00:21.58 | TekPC | Human colonists would need to increase the greenhouse effect though, it's a bit cold. XD |
| 00:22.50 | Monet | Xho: Given the age of the enclave perhaps said firm was a key contributor to Imperial bionics advances? |
| 00:23.02 | Xho | Maybe |
| 00:23.45 | Xho | I probably couldn't even fathom the extents of advancement a 170,000 year old civilisation could have done in that field, let alone anything more ancient |
| 00:24.59 | Monet | Most DI civilian, and some military augmentations I figure are perhaps visibly indistinguishable from organic tissue. |
| 00:25.00 | TekPC | After a few thousand years the difference between biological and technological in those augmentation systems is probably entirely indistinguishable. |
| 00:25.21 | Monet | TekPC: Took the words right out of my mouth :) |
| 00:25.44 | Xho | Makes me wonder why the Agents appear mechanical, possibly for the sake aesthetics |
| 00:25.48 | TekPC | Wouldn't surprise me if the DI or Kicath could make an entity that looks entirely normal but is entirely augmented. |
| 00:26.08 | Monet | TekPC: I might have mentioned androids in passing somewhere |
| 00:26.16 | Xho | In theory they could do that with an Agent if they so wished |
| 00:26.35 | Monet | It would help them a lot to blend in |
| 00:26.39 | TekPC | The mechanical aestethic probably adds to intimidation. |
| 00:26.41 | TekPC | gtg |
| 00:26.52 | Xho | Agents generally do blend in with society when not working |
| 00:27.15 | Monet | Tek's right, aesthetic is a secondary concern for military eqiopment |
| 00:27.34 | Monet | Although it does help to sell the product |
| 00:27.53 | Xho | Civilian cybernetics probably come in multiple variants for fashion |
| 00:28.38 | Xho | Kicath have odd inclinations for appearance |
| 00:29.25 | Monet | "Introducing Jean-Claude Cosmier's new summer arm range." |
| 00:29.33 | Xho | I don't see what purpose the Kicath would have for androids |
| 00:29.46 | Xho | Not within society anyway |
| 00:30.24 | Xho | The general approach to biotechnology in Kicathian culture renders most Kicath close to androids anyway |

| 00:30.48 | Xho | True |
| 00:30.50 | GD12 | Are we talking about synthetics in fictional militarys? |
| 00:30.54 | Xho | Yeaj |
| 00:30.54 | GD12 | *militaries even |
| 00:30.56 | Xho | Yeah even |
| 00:30.57 | GD12 | I c |
| 00:31.05 | Xho | Kicathian android |
| 00:31.15 | Xho | Actually less machine like than a normal Kicath |
| 00:31.43 | GD12 | Due to my love affair with computers the majority of the Dominatus (or former if this is post 2795) is synthetic lol |
| 00:32.20 | Xho | The cognitive branch of biotechnology for Kicath must be interesting |
| 00:32.40 | GD12 | you mean biotechnology for enhancing the brain? |
| 00:32.46 | Xho | Yeah |
| 00:32.59 | GD12 | Yeah |
| 00:33.33 | Xho | I'd imagine for the sake of civility that such things aren't available to the common public |
| 00:33.52 | GD12 | yeah, |
| 00:33.58 | GD12 | why give the proles the means to rebel |
| 00:34.04 | Monet | It could depend on the implant. |
| 00:34.16 | Xho | There's also the ploy with essence and that in certain individuals grants them certain enhanced functions |
| 00:34.45 | GD12 | that could be possible |
| 00:34.46 | Xho | i.e. some Kicath have pre-cognitive abilities or are unnaturally perceptive |
| 00:34.53 | GD12 | mixing essence and computation sounds quite original |
| 00:35.06 | Xho | Well if anything it's to steer clear of mixing those two |
| 00:35.18 | Xho | Especially in Kicath who are ill tempered at the best of times |
| 00:35.29 | GD12 | i c |
| 00:35.36 | Monet | Maybe such tech could be exported though? |
| 00:35.54 | Xho | After certain agreements yeah |
| 00:35.56 | Monet | Essence-users are commonplace in a good deal of Andromeda. |
| 00:36.17 | Monet | SOme of them, or perhaps most of them ,could have unlocked the potential though enhancement |
| 00:36.18 | Xho | Kicath don't tend to physically show essence powers however |
| 00:36.32 | Xho | That was the intention behind the most recent incarnation of Agent IVs |
| 00:36.45 | GD12 | Kinda like mass effect i guess (with biotic implants) |
| 00:37.00 | Xho | The most recent types are enhanced to control essence |
| 00:37.27 | Xho | Those that are naturally proficient in essence as a Kicath usually either show it minimally or are like Kithworto |
| 00:38.07 | GD12 | No middle ground lol |
| 00:38.17 | GD12 | that went from 0 to Infinity really quickly |
| 00:38.22 | Xho | Well Kilazaena is sort of a middle ground |
| 00:39.10 | Xho | She's powerful though even against Kithworto when his essence potential was relatively weak she wouldn't stand a chance |
| 00:39.32 | Xho | Then again Kithworto is the definition of god mode |
| 00:39.55 | GD12 | God is the definition of Kithworto mode i think you mean |
| 00:40.09 | Xho | hur |
| 00:41.06 | Xho | If every Kicath had some sort of essence-enhancement tech we'd probably be suffering the next mad phase |
| 00:41.22 | Monet | Good thing 85% of the DI's population isn't harbouring Death Energy. |
| 00:41.25 | GD12 | bar brawl |
| 00:41.27 | GD12 | universe explodes |
| 00:41.36 | Xho | It kind of makes me wonder how to explain essence |
| 00:41.59 | GD12 | yeah, what is the explanation for it? Its a really cool concept but I never got what exactly it was |
| 00:42.36 | GD12 | or i guess what makes an individual more powerful at essence or something like that |
| 00:42.37 | Xho | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Essence it's on this page |
| 00:43.10 | Xho | The main gist of it sounds like hyperspatial manipulation |
| 00:43.18 | Monet | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Essence_Theory_Deciphered I had my own go at it |
| 00:44.29 | Monet | But yes, hyperspacial manipulation is a good part of the current idea |
| 00:44.57 | Xho | It originally just started out as some form of magic |
| 00:45.25 | Xho | Though that idea couldn't really thrive as there was that phase where the Fictionverse underwent lots of changes |
| 00:45.26 | GD12 | then science attacked? |
| 00:45.30 | Xho | Yeah |
| 00:46.30 | Xho | I think much of its in-universe explanation is depicted as something magical as I'd assume its an extremely ancient practice beyond what even 29th century sciences can emulate |
| 00:47.00 | GD12 | aye |
| 00:47.02 | Monet | We kinda explained it with quantum tunneling. |
| 00:47.20 | Xho | Chaos Energy I tend to think of not as an essence mostly |
| 00:47.52 | Xho | More like an irrevocable and unpredictable movement that the Xhodocto tend to send our way |
| 00:47.58 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Halifaxia - Rewrote several unit descriptions; Added some artillery |
| 00:48.15 | GD12 | Though if there is a science attached, I suppose it would theoretically be possible to create synthetic essence weapons/users |
| 00:48.19 | Xho | Definitely |
| 00:48.30 | Xho | I think synthetic essences have been explored |
| 00:49.13 | Xho | DrodoEmpire: By the looks of things that's the most technologically advanced civilisation on Koldenwelt |
| 00:49.20 | Xho | Bar Ar-Klith I guess |
| 00:49.22 | DrodoEmpire | Not a chance. :P |
| 00:49.28 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah, Ar-Klith |
| 00:49.42 | GD12 | If no one minds, I'm going to have a crack at synthetic essence people/ weapons |
| 00:49.43 | DrodoEmpire | They use gunpowder but this is tempered by a tiny population/territory |
| 00:50.27 | Xho | GD12: Well it can work so we can't stop you |
| 00:50.33 | DrodoEmpire | Plus they use matchlock arquebuses; Only useful in massed fire and even then they're sorta impotent |
| 00:50.54 | DrodoEmpire | Not rifles or even flintlock muskets |
| 00:51.53 | Monet | The arquebus: Firing for mthe hip wo't affect your accuracy. |
| 00:51.57 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 00:52.00 | DrodoEmpire | Basically though |
| 00:52.23 | DrodoEmpire | They where noisemakers beyond fifty paces. :P Even within those fifty paces its a crapshoot |
| 00:52.49 | Xho | I'm not so sure what the technological peak of Koldenwelt ever has been |
| 00:53.23 | DrodoEmpire | So they need massed volley fire and things like kneel fire to actually make them practical for the battlefield; Naturally this is what the halifaxians focus on |
| 00:53.24 | Xho | Solely technological that is |
| 00:53.28 | DrodoEmpire | Defensively |
| 00:53.34 | DrodoEmpire | *Defensive tactics |
| 00:53.36 | DrodoEmpire | >.< |
| 00:53.43 | DrodoEmpire | Not sure |
| 00:53.48 | Xho | Some of my fiction technologically overlaps even the 21st century though it's through magical enhancement |
| 00:54.05 | Xho | So it's not really technological |
| 00:54.22 | DrodoEmpire | Koldenwelt seems to a have a massive recorded history; In that time several 21st-century level civilizations could've come and gone really |
| 00:55.03 | Xho | The Orichalcum Elves have been shown to have created sophisticated automatons and networks of computers though most of it was powered by magical cores and matrices |
| 00:55.10 | DrodoEmpire | Ah, right |
| 00:55.29 | Xho | I don't think any civilisation has actually harnessed scientific advancements yet |
| 00:55.36 | Xho | As in Industrial Revolution-level |
| 00:55.45 | Monet | The study of magic could be considered a science |
| 00:55.52 | DrodoEmpire | Ar-Klith maybe? |
| 00:56.10 | Xho | Ar-Klith are implied to be in the middle of the Industrial Revolution I think |
| 00:56.23 | DrodoEmpire | Halifaxia is at *least* two-hundred years off from the Industrial Revolution seeing as they use 1500's-1600's yech |
| 00:56.25 | DrodoEmpire | *tech |
| 00:56.40 | DrodoEmpire | Pike squares and matchlock weapons on land, compasses and caravels at sea |

| 00:57.42 | TekDroid | Hello |
| 00:57.51 | DrodoEmpire | They'd be utterly rekt by Industrial forces. :P Its hard to overstate how important rifling was to firearm effectiveness and warfare in general |
| 00:58.00 | TekDroid | ^ |
| 00:58.01 | DrodoEmpire | Or the breechloading mechanism |
| 00:58.26 | Xho | Ndrhthryr was made from Dalmiric technology in which he has his abilities, though once again some kind of magic courses through his body |
| 00:58.52 | DrodoEmpire | Seeing as with rifling you're going from 50 m maximum to more like 600 m, and with a breechloading mechanism you're going from a 30 second to a minute process of reloading, to more like six seconds |
| 00:59.11 | Xho | I'd imagine the Dalmiric Kingdom probably equate somewhere between 1300 - 1500 |
| 00:59.21 | DrodoEmpire | 1300 to 1500 AD? |
| 00:59.25 | Xho | Yeah |
| 00:59.26 | TekDroid | Magic does change things when you talk guns though, how much does depend on amount of magic and gun tech though. :P |
| 00:59.27 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
| 00:59.35 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 01:00.15 | Xho | They don't really stand as a superpower on Koldenwelt since the Empire of Man is probably the most powerful civilisation on Koldenwelt |
| 01:00.24 | DrodoEmpire | I know a demonistration I saw at the Halifax Citadel a reenactor used an Enfield Breechloading rifle and fired off six shots in twenty seconds. So much for muskets |
| 01:00.38 | GD12 | Would people say the girl from the Grude is extremely scary? |
| 01:00.51 | GD12 | *grude even |
| 01:00.55 | GD12 | *grudge |
| 01:00.58 | DrodoEmpire | hur |

| 01:01.37 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 01:01.39 | DrodoEmpire | yeah |
| 01:02.06 | DrodoEmpire | Ar-Klith or any other industrial civilization possesses an extreme advantage militarily. :P |
| 01:02.06 | TekDroid | Especially when those several shots are still drastically more accurate. :P |
| 01:02.10 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:02.46 | Monet | Good thing Ar-Klith is quite reclusive then |
| 01:02.50 | Xho | Ar-Klith technologically dominates most or all of Koldenwelt |
| 01:02.51 | DrodoEmpire | Honestly in a completely realistic situation; A company of Ar-Klith soldiers could likely hold off thousands of EoM troops indefinitely |
| 01:03.31 | Xho | Magically speaking, magical potential on Koldenwelt destroys technological potential a thousandfold |
| 01:03.43 | TekDroid | Magic can alter things, but you have assumr the limited number of magical entities can avoid stray bullets. :P |
| 01:03.52 | DrodoEmpire | This is assuming they don't have magic support |
| 01:03.57 | Xho | EoM don't |
| 01:04.06 | Xho | They abstain from magic since humans are adverse to magic |
| 01:04.09 | Monet | The Ar-Klith have mechanical golems I think |
| 01:04.29 | Xho | I'm not sure where the Shiarchon equate technologically |
| 01:04.47 | GD12 | Don't the Shiarchon have guns? |
| 01:04.47 | Monet | So essentially the only thing stoppeing the Klaxxa fro mtaking over the whole world by force of arms is they're all puntable physically, and os choose not to. |
| 01:04.51 | GD12 | I recall them being advanced |
| 01:04.55 | Xho | That was retconned out |
| 01:05.12 | Xho | The Shiarchon are technologically speaking the same as they would have been as the Orichalcum Elves |
| 01:05.23 | Xho | Though their practices were scarce |
| 01:05.47 | Xho | So we're probably looking at 1100 AD at the most |
| 01:06.05 | Xho | Though there's a lot to say on their endeavours on a magical front |
| 01:06.37 | DrodoEmpire | From what I can tell the Ar-Klith easily have a technological level of the 1880's-early 1900's |
| 01:07.03 | GD12 | Whats a good name for a female monster? |
| 01:07.13 | Xho | Any female name, women ARE monsters |
| 01:07.13 | GD12 | which is creepy but not physically powerful |
| 01:07.20 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 01:07.21 | GD12 | kek |
| 01:08.03 | DrodoEmpire | Anyway about the Halifaxian Military, I think the two scariest parts of their ground military are their pikes and their culverins |
| 01:08.06 | GD12 | "Jane Doe" |
| 01:08.13 | Xho | The Orichalcum Elves have outliers in their technology which would put them past Ar-Klith though one wouldn't have seen an automaton walking through the streets |
| 01:08.21 | Xho | had* |
| 01:08.31 | GD12 | Culverins shooting out giant pikes |
| 01:08.35 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 01:08.43 | DrodoEmpire | Muskets are great, but disciplined infantry can keep their cool under fire |
| 01:08.59 | DrodoEmpire | But running facefirst into a pike wall *will* kill you. :P |
| 01:09.33 | DrodoEmpire | And culverins can shoot a shotgun-blast of nails, broken glass, and other nasties at a flat trajectory towards charging enemies which is a terrifying thought |
| 01:09.48 | TekDroid | Unless you have a longer pike than them when you charge. :P |
| 01:09.59 | DrodoEmpire | Before having pikemen and musketmen form in front of it to block off the charging enemies |
| 01:10.52 | Xho | Technology isn't really an explored concept much on Koldenwelt |
| 01:11.02 | GD12 | Magic is too much of a magic bullet |
| 01:11.04 | GD12 | so to speak |
| 01:11.15 | Xho | Most civilisations still haven't developed a functioning rifle yet |
| 01:11.18 | DrodoEmpire | Probably because magic's seen as a more profitable alternative in most regions |
| 01:11.41 | Monet | This all makes me wonder where the Draonoggr come |
| 01:11.44 | Xho | The most powerful civilisations before 15,000 BNA were probably twice as advanced as Ar-Klith |
| 01:12.26 | DrodoEmpire | Jeez |
| 01:12.46 | Monet | For the most part I think I've hinted the Draonoggr are on par with the 1200/1300s in terms of weaponry |
| 01:13.03 | Xho | There weren't many mind you |
| 01:14.01 | Monet | Although Orocathrheim has the advantage of a convenient source of magma |
| 01:14.40 | Xho | I can't really describe the Shiarchon's military might because much of it comes from the fact that the Shiarchon are mostly a 5 million - 8 million strong force of abominations |
| 01:15.25 | DrodoEmpire | Halifaxian pikemen - Come at me bro |
| 01:15.29 | Xho | Though the War for the Eye suggests that that the Shiarchon are able to hold their own against most civilisations on Koldenwelt combined |
| 01:16.06 | Xho | Though it was a pyrrhic victory for the guys who weren't the Shiarchon |
| 01:16.15 | Monet | So the Draokorumnoggr have access to something like a blast fornace |
| 01:16.35 | Monet | Or something vaguely close |
| 01:16.52 | Xho | They may have some kind of derived style of Sun Forge |
| 01:18.13 | Xho | God knows what kind of horror the Shiarchon use to forge darkstone weapons |
| 01:18.25 | Monet | I imagine post-Imperium the Draonoggr are one of Koldwnwelt's best sources of steel and other alloys. |
| 01:19.55 | Xho | I'd imagine metallurgy is a speciality of theirs |
| 01:20.10 | GD12 | gtg |
| 01:20.13 | Monet | Same. |
| 01:20.25 | Xho | Yeah I'm fekking tired now |
| 01:20.41 | Monet | It's probably one of the lcosest things to refined Oriachalcum in the modern world |
| 01:21.19 | Xho | The Orichalcum Elves also used another refined material called Aurelian Platinum |
| 01:21.29 | Monet | SOunds rare |
| 01:21.49 | Xho | It came in abundance in the right places though its use was to be constructed to repel darkstone weapons |
| 01:22.02 | Xho | Unlike darkstone it can still break under physical damage though |
| 01:22.39 | Monet | Given Orocathrheim's location, is it possible it's one of the few places in the world that has access to Orichalcum ore? Given it's depth and vicinity to the mantle and all |
| 01:22.45 | Xho | Likely |
| 01:23.17 | Xho | Aurelian Platinum was also able to be enchanted with sun magic so it could actually overpower darkstone in most cases |
| 01:23.58 | Xho | Darkstone tends to vary in strength due to what enchantments it may or may not have |
| 01:24.22 | Xho | Mostly the enchantments are actually entrapped souls used to empower the sword |
| 01:24.44 | Monet | So essentially I made a race of dragons that act a lot like dwarves |
| 01:24.55 | Xho | Dragon dwarves that aren't dwarves |
| 01:25.06 | Monet | Very big dwarves |
| 01:25.22 | Monet | PLus they use runic magic |
| 01:26.01 | Xho | Runic magic isn't common as far as I can tell |
| 01:26.44 | Monet | It's not as practical as more common practices since it involces a form of calligraphy |
| 01:26.50 | Xho | The only instance I have is the inscribed text on Kinmo's sword |
| 01:28.10 | Monet | The three instances of runic magic being performed that I can recall are the curse on the blade Archavior was trapped in, the golems on that folating island and the teleport wards Archavior used to summon an army of helpers t osteal Orichalcum elf treasure |
| 01:28.18 | Monet | draonoggr runic* |
| 01:28.49 | Monet | There ma have been runic wards to kee pthe ancient draonoggr in hibernation |
| 01:29.08 | Xho | Pelagrios - u dragons and ur word magic |
| 01:29.33 | Xho | Anyway I must be going to sleep now |
| 01:31.23 | Monet | Goodnight |
| 01:32.18 | Xho | Well that was unexpected |
| 01:47.33 | TekDroid | DrodoEmpire: I noticed something really interesting on the CKII menu. When you click on a character it plays a note, which when put together sound a lot like part of the CKII menu theme... |
| 01:47.48 | DrodoEmpire | HUh |
| 01:47.50 | DrodoEmpire | Nice |
| 01:48.10 | TekDroid | At least, I'm 90% certain it is. XD |
| 01:59.33 | TekDroid | Okay, it definitely is after throwing the notes in a sound editor. :P |

| 02:56.16 | Vincent20100 | I feel like playing SW: Empire at War in multi |
| 02:58.24 | Vincent20100 | Also feeling like to play new games... |
| 02:58.34 | Vincent20100 | Wallet: I don't so. |
| 03:01.37 | Vincent20100 | It would also require a better PC... |
| 03:14.26 | TekDroid | ...well that CKII game went well. >.< |
| 03:14.49 | TekDroid | Game over in less than 2 years. |
| 03:15.44 | DrodoEmpire | olol |
| 03:17.18 | TekDroid | Started as Kiev in 867, immediately declared war on neighbour. Suddenly I get a subjugation war declared on me by Ryazan (other side of Ruthenia >.<) which I eventually lose. >.< |
| 03:17.27 | DrodoEmpire | Ouch |
| 03:19.40 | TekDroid | Okay then, who to try now? XD |
| 03:21.41 | TekDroid | There's a Swedish count in 867 who's dynasty name is Borg. XD |
| 03:22.01 | DrodoEmpire | lul |
| 03:22.03 | DrodoEmpire | *whose |
| 03:22.05 | DrodoEmpire | >:3 |
| 03:23.13 | TekDroid | I honestly have no idea who to play as. :/ |

| 03:30.27 | Vincent20100 | Georgia |
| 03:30.51 | Vincent20100 | Try to form an early USSR as Georgia, with your first character named Joseph Stalin ^^ |
| 03:31.01 | Vincent20100 | *KSSR |
| 03:32.26 | Vincent20100 | OrTekDroid: Or try to play as a Principality (empire-tier republic) |
| 03:32.36 | Vincent20100 | It's lot harder than feudal |
| 03:32.54 | Vincent20100 | But if managedcorrectly, you can turn your house estate into a very powerful tool |

| 03:35.06 | Quark8 | night |
| 03:35.15 | Vincent20100 | ++ |
| 03:37.05 | Vincent20100 | You could also try to go for a Long Campaign, starting in CK2, converting to EU4 and then to Vicky 2 |
| 03:37.56 | Vincent20100 | But to do that, the best is to play as a non-pagan (musulim or christian) republic to prevent blobing |
| 03:43.04 | Vincent20100 | But I would really try out the Georgian thingy. It is a relatively strong start/position, they are orthodox (which is very interesting) and are conviniently located to fight the Hordes, who will be depleted of a lot of troops once they reach you. |
| 03:54.41 | TekDroid | I had 10k troops and lost to an army half my size. >.< |

| 15:05.01 | Imperios | *Medieval |
| 15:05.05 | Hachiman | Thing about Tolkein though is that he saves purple prose for the elves while everything is written in such a way as to seem "meh" |
| 15:05.12 | Imperios | Like a Norse saga |
| 15:05.19 | Imperios | Wouldn't say so |
| 15:05.22 | Hachiman | Tolkein had a massive elf fetish it appears hur |
| 15:05.37 | Xho | I'd say it's everything but the Hobbits who tend to overthink their words |
| 15:05.38 | Imperios | It's all purple prose, though of many shades of purple |
| 15:06.03 | Imperios | ...That's actually a good way to describe Tolkien's writing |

| 15:06.18 | Xho | And even then Frodo and Bilbo tend to overdo it as well |

| 15:22.20 | Xho | Imperios: We call it Interwar |
| 15:22.23 | Imperios | Rite |
| 15:22.27 | Imperios | An Interwar novel then |
| 15:22.32 | Xho | Edwardian is usually 1901 - 1914 |

| 15:39.50 | Vincent20100 | "and up 40cm (1.3ft) of snow in the region. " |
| 15:39.51 | Vincent20100 | -_- |
| 15:40.00 | Vincent20100 | That akward moment when you're Canadian |
| 15:40.18 | Xho | hur |
| 15:40.25 | Xho | Snow days for us are like 2cm |
| 15:40.43 | Xho | Even though we're one of the most northern countries in the world we can't handle snow |
| 15:41.28 | Vincent20100 | Just to give you an idea, it's -16 outside here, and it's normal day |
| 15:41.40 | Xho | wat |
| 15:41.57 | Xho | Then again we never see snow |
| 15:42.04 | Xho | It never usually drops below -3 |
| 15:42.13 | Vincent20100 | Yesterday we received same amount of snow, no highways were closed ^^ |
| 15:42.19 | Vincent20100 | Canada! F*ck yah! |
| 15:42.32 | Xho | Thanks for the weird warm current we get otherwise we'd be stuck in the same situation |
| 15:44.57 | Vincent20100 | Be right back, gotta go chase of polar bears off my yard. |

| 18:57.11 | Hachiman | Well no bats in general tend to freak me out |
| 18:58.19 | Wormy_ | A bat brushed my hair once |
| 18:59.25 | Wormy_ | It was not as funny as the time I was walking under a bridge and disturbed loads of rats which ran over my feet. A drunk man was watching from the top of the bridge and walked down, laughing and saying something funny but barely audible |
| 18:59.37 | Xho | Er |
| 18:59.42 | Wormy_ | I can't remember it now |
| 18:59.44 | Xho | Did something happen to the Koldenwelt map |
| 19:00.50 | Wormy_ | Its small size when you click on it? |
| 19:01.01 | Xho | Nope |
| 19:01.09 | Xho | The Landmark image has gone missing |
| 19:01.40 | Xho | http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/0/09/NightmareDrake.png/revision/latest?cb=20150205185551 Though I made this |
| 19:02.07 | odell | noice |
| 19:02.08 | Wormy_ | Damn thats cool |
| 19:02.55 | odell | Wormy_: Funny thing that we don't have anything similar to "bats" in Swedish. Instead, we name then as "Fladdermöss". |
| 19:03.31 | odell | Literally translated as "flapping mice". |
| 19:03.37 | Xho | wat |
| 19:04.21 | Wormy_ | cool |
| 19:04.40 | odell | And for the "flying foxes", bigger bats with canine like features. We name them as "flyghundar", most close to "flying dogs". |
| 19:05.04 | Wormy_ | indeed very appropriate |
| 19:05.17 | odell | Swedish can be sometimes weird, but very appropriate. |
| 19:05.41 | OluapWorker | Nice drake |
| 19:05.49 | Wormy_ | Bats were for a while considered not too distant cousins to Primates but I think that has now been refuted |
| 19:05.50 | odell | Many times more weird if you do literal translations. |
| 19:05.54 | Xho | That was the old Thunder Drake model |
| 19:06.09 | Xho | They're now bad dream lizards |
| 19:06.40 | Xho | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Captain:Kaicaiusarin/Pavor Added the Honoured Lords and Nightmare Drakes |
| 19:06.49 | odell | Found a picture of one of the very few bat species in our country. http://www.nationalstadsparken.se/Sve/Biologisk%20m%C3%A5ngfald/StoraBilder/fladdermusBABw.jpg |
| 19:07.10 | odell | All of the species have a diet mainly consisting of insects. |
| 19:07.10 | Xho | Bats are weird |
| 19:08.22 | odell | So we have no vampires. |
| 19:09.36 | odell | Probably because we have black pudding as one of our traditional dishes. |
| 19:09.48 | odell | And we call them for "Blodpudding" |
| 19:09.58 | Xho | Makes sense hur |
| 19:10.13 | Xho | Black pudding is relatively traditional here as well |
| 19:11.11 | Wormy_ | That stuff of pure concentrated evil |
| 19:11.23 | Xho | That's called blood hur |
| 19:11.27 | odell | *evil laughter* |
| 19:12.17 | Xho | Leave it to the Germanic people to invent food out of blood |
| 19:12.33 | odell | And we have got a dish named "Kroppkakor" -> "body cakes". |
| 19:15.13 | Wormy_ | I bet that gets parodied in murder mystery-comedy sketches |

| 19:58.12 | Wormy_ | So, other than headache and sleeping sickness, what else is it? |
| 19:58.24 | Wormy_ | if you don't mind me asking |
| 20:00.21 | Wormy_ | I am suffering a malaise myself atm you see |
| 20:03.07 | odell | Wormy_: Kroppkakor actually tastes better than how it looks like. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Kroppkaka.jpg |
| 20:03.53 | Wormy_ | Looks like a cross between rice pudding and dumplings. |
| 20:04.01 | odell | Served with lingonberry jam, melted butter and cream. |
| 20:04.25 | odell | Optionally, much salt. |
| 20:04.38 | Wormy_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumpling#Scandinavian_cuisine |
| 20:04.48 | Wormy_ | Ah, they are similar to dumplings |
| 20:04.58 | Wormy_ | I normally have dumplings in stew |
| 20:05.26 | Wormy_ | odell: I love this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire_pudding |
| 20:06.11 | odell | Looks more like danish pastry |
| 20:06.12 | odell | lol |
| 20:06.24 | Xho | Wormy_: Nothing much else now |
| 20:06.57 | odell | Specially those what we call "Wienerbröd" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Glazed_apple_Danish.jpg/1024px-Glazed_apple_Danish.jpg |
| 20:07.18 | odell | Dont confuse them with wieners. |
| 20:07.18 | Monet | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/M%C3%A4mmi-2.jpg this looks like Christmas Pudding to me. |

| 20:07.49 | Wormy_ | odell: I've had Danish pastries. But Yorkshire puddings are made with batter |
| 20:08.11 | Monet | Xho: Goku is that powerful lol |
| 20:08.32 | Xho | There's a lot of debate as to who is more powerful |
| 20:08.41 | Xho | I'd personally say Goku |
| 20:08.56 | Wormy_ | I refuse to accept Goku beating Superman because Superman |
| 20:09.16 | Monet | I thin kSUperman has yet to blow up a planet has he? |
| 20:09.41 | Wormy_ | He never needed to yet |
| 20:09.54 | Monet | THen again Samantha Carter blew up a sun and she has no superpowers. |
| 20:10.18 | Wormy_ | SW Grox soldiers have planet busting rocket launchers |
| 20:11.38 | Monet | Superman and Goku are difficult to debate because their strength varies with plot. |
| 20:11.49 | Xho | True |
| 20:11.55 | Wormy_ | Its a matter of preference then] |
| 20:11.57 | Ghelae | Wormy_: When using a planet-busting rocket launcher, ensure launcher is not pointed towards the planet you are standing on. |
| 20:12.07 | Xho | Saiyans are usually said to have enough power in them to destroy a planet singlehandely |
| 20:12.10 | Xho | handedly* |
| 20:12.39 | Monet | That's a thing that doesn't seem to come up so much with these vs. debates: The trend of strength being relative to the plot in question. |
| 20:12.49 | Xho | True |
| 20:13.13 | Xho | Vegeta is seen blowing up a planet almost effortlessly and Goku by the Namek Saga could smack Vegeta around fairly easily |
| 20:13.20 | Wormy_ | Ghelae: That would be the punultimate fail |
| 20:13.34 | Wormy_ | *Punultimate* lol |
| 20:13.42 | Monet | Also Goku isn't rendered mundane by a magic rock. |
| 20:14.20 | Monet | Considering Krypton is supposed to be really really far away it's incredible how frequently Kryptonite turns up on Earth. |
| 20:15.49 | Monet | And the size of the chunks that keep getting found would have been parts of much larger chunks that burnt up in Earth's atmosphere surely |
| 20:16.31 | Wormy_ | Why not just shoot superman with a kyptonite bullet? |

| 20:21.39 | Wormy_ | What has Charles done to you? |

| 20:23.03 | Monet | Hachiman: Oy. |
| 20:23.46 | Imperios | Monet: So basically you treat France like I treat America |
| 20:24.04 | Hachiman | Russia does not have good quality hamburgers then |
| 20:24.40 | Imperios | Yeah that's why we lost the Cold War |
| 20:24.57 | Imperios | I prefer Russian fast food to American fast food, strangely enough |
| 20:25.12 | Wormy_ | Because you wanted quality hamburgers? Makes sense. |
| 20:25.24 | Monet | I no longer buy "Cheese-eating surrender monekys" |
| 20:25.39 | Imperios | Yep, we were defeated by powerful American quality hamburgers and blue jeans |
| 20:26.02 | Imperios | Cultural domination is a powerful force |
| 20:26.05 | Monet | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/French_Empire_evolution.gif between 1914 and 1958 France had dominion over Madagaskar and West Africa. |
| 20:26.24 | Hachiman | >Implying dominion over Madagascar is considered difficult |
| 20:26.49 | Monet | It's not a landscape that's friendly to colonisation. |
| 20:27.12 | Imperios | Okay West Africa had some advanced cultures but Madagascar is not that hard to take |
| 20:27.35 | Hachiman | The British were the ones that settled and colonized Australia, while France had to settle with pansy Madagascar |
| 20:27.58 | Imperios | Australia and Madagascar got nothing on Siberia |
| 20:28.21 | Wormy_ | Yeah but hardly banyone lives in Siberia |
| 20:28.35 | Monet | I stil lgive Kudos i nthat France was still a sizeable power when Britain's own emprie was at it's height |
| 20:28.37 | Imperios | The same can be said of Australia :P |
| 20:28.46 | Wormy_ | Relatively speaking, of course |
| 20:28.48 | Hachiman | Putin uses Siberia as his holiday resort |
| 20:29.06 | Hachiman | I am still fervent of the belief that mammoths continue to exist within the wildlands of Siberia |
| 20:29.09 | Imperios | Hachiman: You mean Putin's enemies |
| 20:29.32 | Wormy_ | I wish so, but it was the encroaching forests that killed them off in the first place |
| 20:29.47 | Wormy_ | But i think Almas live there |
| 20:29.48 | Imperios | We actually work on cloning mammoths back to existence |
| 20:29.49 | Monet | And then there was the time Napoleon made Europe his bitch. |
| 20:30.28 | Imperios | ...Wait Koreans are doing this, not Russians |
| 20:30.35 | Imperios | ...It's still "we" hur |
| 20:30.57 | Monet | I wonder how expansive France could have been if Napoleon decided to leae Russia alone. |

| 20:32.38 | Monet | Also France held West Africa until the 1960s. So for a time it's empire was *larger* than Britain's. |

| 20:35.28 | Hachiman | Drom was just showing us what a Kamadan was |
| 20:36.42 | AdmiralPanda | I see |
| 20:36.58 | AdmiralPanda | I want one |
| 20:36.58 | Wormy_ | Hachiman: I do have a theory that they were just caught talewind of a thermobaric vacuum bomb, leading some to flee with horrific internal injuries. The orbs seen on the mountain could have been glow from the explosions in the fog/clouds |
| 20:37.16 | Imperios | Hi |
| 20:37.29 | Wormy_ | Bits of metal were strewn across the mountain when the search was made |
| 20:37.32 | Hachiman | Aye that is a rather popular theory it appears |
| 20:37.48 | Hachiman | That does not explain some of the injuries and conditions of the bodies however |
| 20:38.22 | Wormy_ | Well, such weapons can leave only internal damage |
| 20:38.38 | Wormy_ | But yeah things like the tongue missing are a lot weirder |
| 20:39.07 | Hachiman | So until further notice I am retaining my cryptozoology conspiracy stance and claiming that they were killed either by a tribe of Yeti apemen or monstrous Lovecraftian mountain-dwellers |
| 20:39.44 | Wormy_ | Don't forget the orbs |
| 20:40.00 | Wormy_ | They even appear to have photographs of orbs |
| 20:40.25 | odell | Speaking of lovecraftian creatures and monsters. DF has some of these, though the Masterwork mod adds alot of them. |

| 20:42.45 | Imperios | I wonder why didn't they take Australia |
| 20:43.05 | Hachiman | Because it is Australia |
| 20:43.05 | Imperios | I mean it was right next to them |
| 20:43.08 | AdmiralPanda | Because the aborigines were already there |

| 20:53.54 | Monet | Regarding the siscussion last night, It's got me thinking how much of a threat to Koldenwelt the Orocathi Domain would be if it was a united force. |
| 20:54.15 | Hachiman | Considering elven prominence |
| 20:54.17 | Hachiman | Not much |
| 20:54.52 | Monet | Yeah but what keeps the Orocathi Domain in check right now is that it's various lords and commanders are more focused on conquering each other |
| 20:56.08 | Wormy_ | odell: Find Welcome to Nightvale |
| 20:56.32 | Hachiman | If the Orichalcum Elves could not conquer the entirety of Koldenwelt and if Caligaduro could not destroy it |
| 20:57.03 | Monet | The Orichalcum elves still maanged to conquer a sizeable portion of it though |
| 20:58.26 | Monet | And Orocathrheim's loction deep within the earth makes it difficult to preoperly occupy. |

| 20:59.11 | Hachiman | In fact Koldenwelt is anything but "EVERYTHING IS DOOMED" |
| 20:59.17 | Hachiman | It could not be more thriving |
| 20:59.54 | Xho | The Orichalcum Elves became afraid of anything north of the Tropical Lands |
| 20:59.57 | Monet | The Draonoggr themselves hoewver rely on subjugated soldiers, kept in line though magic, force and fanaticism. |

| 21:00.16 | infobot | ACTION gives DrodoEmpire a home-baked chocolate chip cookie to cheer him up. |
| 21:00.34 | Hachiman | Consider that elves are the most populous species on Koldenwelt and are largely connected culturally and socially and they have not conquered Koldenwelt |
| 21:00.35 | DrodoEmpire | yey |
| 21:01.02 | odell | Oh hai drodo |
| 21:01.12 | Monet | Although I guess there's subjectivity as to which is worse: Being swiftly executed, being crushed, or being eaten alive. |
| 21:01.49 | Xho | Koldenwelt is too large to conquer |
| 21:02.20 | Xho | It would be like Rome trying to conquer the world with 5 Romes |
| 21:02.26 | Xho | 5 other Romes that is |
| 21:03.31 | Hachiman | I drank all my cider so now I have nothing to keep myself occupied with |
| 21:03.35 | Hachiman | This makes me sadfaic |
| 21:03.48 | Monet | Okay how about this: I wondered how severe a threat could the Draokorumnoggr of the Domain could potentially be if they all stopped using their resources to conquer each other? |
| 21:03.58 | AdmiralPanda | Hachiman: occupy urself with me |
| 21:04.19 | Xho | Cider |

| 21:04.44 | Hachiman | I prefer the taste of it to beer or most wine |
| 21:05.09 | Monet | The Orocathi Domain looks like a paint splatter on a map of Koldenwelt because every mountain lord is expanding his own domain at a rate he likes. |
| 21:05.28 | Monet | SO I guess if anything, the domain is more a loose confederacy of Draonoggr vying for power with each other. |
| 21:05.39 | Xho | I find Cider difficult to drink tbh |

| 21:13.52 | odell | I feel off the chair as I was confused by the name. |
| 21:13.56 | Monet | "city of cinders"? "The Deep Realm?" |
| 21:14.21 | Monet | Although The Deep Realm could be something adopted by Ar-Klith |
| 21:14.42 | ImpyDroid | Monet: Ashrock Depths |
| 21:15.04 | Monet | "the city of furnaces"? |
| 21:15.38 | odell | Monet Xho ImpyDroid: This talk brings me back to DF. |
| 21:15.59 | Monet | The general idea of Orocathrheim is, apart form being underground and full of Draonoggr. It's close to a large magma pool, it's hot and there are numerosu forges thoughout the labarynthine tunnels |
| 21:16.07 | Monet | SO it's essentially Hell lol |
| 21:18.39 | Monet | In trhe Draonoggr toungue the name means "city of the Orocathi" so I'm more looking for a name people would adopt to refer to it. |
| 21:19.33 | Monet | Although what "orocathi" means though...Maybe a name that referred to the clan of Draonoggr who first inhabited the city. |
| 21:21.39 | Ghelae | It could it turn relate to a place where that clan came from. Maybe there's a place in Koldenwelt called Orocath. |
| 21:22.08 | Ghelae | As much as that might cause confusion with Orocathrheim. |
| 21:25.05 | Ghelae | Alternatively, perhaps "orocathi" is etymologically related to "orichalcum", and that metal was once mined/produced there. |
| 21:26.06 | Monet | Xho and I discussed that Orocathrheim could be the site of some of the last reachable traces of oricalcum ore on Koldenwelt. |
| 21:26.40 | Monet | But perhaps...perhaps yeah |
| 21:27.37 | Monet | The city was founded around the end of the adamantine age |
| 21:28.24 | Monet | Although Draonoggr could have lived there for longer |
| 21:29.11 | Monet | So perhaps the city itself was the site of a large deep-earth Orichalcum deposit |
| 21:29.31 | ImpyDroid | Maybe "orocath" could be a corruption of "orichalcum"? |
| 21:29.40 | Monet | ImpyDroid: My thoughts exactly |
| 21:30.38 | Monet | OKay. I have a thought. |
| 21:30.59 | Monet | "Orocathrheim" could translate from Drokkoril as "amber-rock bastion" |
| 21:33.07 | Monet | I talked with Xho about the prospect of Orocathi smiths using what's left of the oricalcum as an alloying component |
| 21:34.25 | Monet | Early crafts could have been pure roicalcum, but within the last couple of thousand there could have been a leaning towards an oricalcum alloy. |
| 21:34.32 | Monet | oricalcum* |

| 21:36.51 | Xho | Just been forced on to Internet Explorer because Chrome just went NOPE |
| 21:37.03 | Ghelae | Or is there some other reason why they'd have taken to alloying it? |

| 21:37.07 | infobot | ACTION gives Xho a home-baked sugar cookie to cheer him up. |
| 21:37.43 | Monet | One other reason pivots how good an alloy is compared to the pure metal? |
| 21:37.50 | Monet | an alloy of it* |
| 21:38.20 | Ghelae | I suppose it depends on what you want to use it for. Perhaps aesthetic tastes have simply changed over time and pure orichalcum is now out of fashion? |
| 21:39.07 | Monet | Building a city inside a precious material is good at doing a number on "it's tasteful because it's valuable" |
| 21:39.19 | Monet | "and rare" |
| 21:39.34 | Ghelae | Also, I always imagined orichalcum to be some (super?)naturally-occuring alloy, not that it really matters. |
| 21:40.14 | Monet | Being a fantasy world we're not restricted to the periodic table. |
| 21:40.28 | Xho | Pelagrios - metal metal metal magic metal |
| 21:40.41 | Ghelae | If we were, then I would have said that it really mattered. :P |
| 21:41.31 | Ghelae | But yes, alloying orichalcum with other metals could have arisen as a way of making new materials that look distinct from the traditional stuff. |
| 21:41.36 | Xho | You know times have gotten bad when Explorer is faster than Chrome |
| 21:41.54 | Monet | Oricalcum for asethetic purposes...I'm not sure since the city would have had access to plenty of gemstones |
| 21:42.21 | Monet | Maybe an oricalcum alloy has a glittery surface to it? |
| 21:42.37 | Ghelae | Some might do. |
| 21:43.13 | Monet | My thoughts on an alloy for weapons and armour was either adding it to steel or combining it with titanium |
| 21:43.31 | Ghelae | If it's magic, maybe you could, I don't know, alloy it with diamonds and then you end up with a translucent metal that glows. |
| 21:44.52 | Monet | The old part of the city could have palaces plated with oricalcum metal |
| 21:44.58 | ImpyDroid | Diamond alloy |
| 21:45.20 | ImpyDroid | That's some shonky business right there |
| 21:45.32 | Monet | Theft of that kind of bling is kinda hard when its' guarded by warriors o nthe paroll of the city's elite |
| 21:45.39 | Ghelae | ImpyDroid: Magic. |
| 21:45.40 | Monet | payroll* |
| 21:46.01 | Ghelae | I also thought that orichalcum wouldn't make for good weapons or armour, hence adamantine. So maybe alloying it with something else does make it significantly stronger, or orichalcum-steel alloy simply looks like the (now rare) adamantine of old. |
| 21:46.25 | ImpyDroid | Well I think I mentioned Klaxxa using a crystalline, obsidian-like magically conductive material called "obsinite" |
| 21:46.32 | ImpyDroid | Maybe this could work |
| 21:46.49 | Monet | Ghelae: Oricalcum-steel alloy works for me |
| 21:46.52 | odell | Needed to get this out of my mind. http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Dromlexer/Scrapbook#Fantasy_Concepts |
