| 00:01.37 | Aeo | I got 75% of the letters. That's a C. |
| 00:01.59 | Aeo | C: |
| 00:02.08 | Aeo | C: |
| 00:02.18 | Aeo | Capital C Colon. |
| 00:02.27 | Aeo | How have I not seen this one used before? |
| 00:02.37 | Aeo | It's a much better smile than :) |
| 00:02.51 | MonetAway | C not good enough |
| 00:03.01 | Aeo | Actually no. Now, looking at both of them, :) is better. |
| 00:03.11 | Monet | Try again and go for an A, then we'll be happy. |
| 00:03.23 | Aeo | Okay, dad, |
| 00:09.46 | Wood_Pulp_VII | :D is almost the same but better |
| 00:10.01 | Wood_Pulp_VII | it looks happier than :) |
| 00:20.32 | Abysswalker25 | Do the citizens of the DI eat with diamond cutlery? |
| 00:20.42 | Abysswalker25 | Or is that for the slaves? |
| 00:20.58 | Abysswalker25 | Er 'sub-citizen' |
| 00:21.59 | Monet | That may be a bit much. |
| 00:22.24 | Monet | PLus pure dimond might crack if used as a knife or fork. |
| 00:22.51 | Abysswalker25 | Was a joke about how absurbly rich they are lol |
| 00:22.58 | Abysswalker25 | absurdly* |
| 00:23.50 | Monet | Ohlol |
| 00:24.40 | Abysswalker25 | Although now I wonder what a diamond fork would look like. |
| 00:25.22 | Wood_Pulp_VII | Depends how you made it. If you created artificial diamonds in the shape of a fork it would probably just look like glass or something |
| 00:25.40 | Wood_Pulp_VII | If you used natural diamonds it would look really weird. |
| 00:26.50 | Monet | http://www.naturaldiamond9.com/image/cache/data/rough-diamond/rough-diamond9/081a%20gl750-500x500.jpg uncut diamond lacks the orderly prettyness of those in gemstones |
| 00:27.15 | Abysswalker25 | So it would be lumpy and crude looking while being sparkly? |
| 00:29.17 | Monet | Possibly |
| 00:34.52 | Abysswalker25 | Wonder if I should side with the DCP or Xonexi |
| 00:35.12 | Abysswalker25 | I was going to pick Xonexi first but they got beat down in the milky way, so it made me rethink things. |
| 00:35.16 | Abysswalker25 | I SHALL SEE. |
| 00:35.46 | Hachiman | Depends whether your empire is likely to choose between ideals or survival |
| 00:36.44 | Abysswalker25 | Well, I'd say ideals for the lone fact this universe seems to be er |
| 00:36.50 | Abysswalker25 | fairly bleak and depressing by now |
| 00:37.04 | DrodoAway | "(Teeth) whitening strips did me no good. It promised whitening after 14 days. Even after 15 days I'm still Asian. Wtf." |
| 00:37.12 | DrodoEmprie | >.< |
| 00:37.37 | Abysswalker25 | The Drodo Empire is especially depressing |
| 00:37.37 | Monet | I keep meaning to ask what the status of the Katar Sector is, given the DCP's dominance everywhere else in the Milky Way |
| 00:37.52 | DrodoEmpire | Abyss: ? |
| 00:37.57 | Monet | That or I have asked, but kee pforgetting :P |
| 00:38.07 | Abysswalker25 | They are a warlike species, even more violent then the Loron. |
| 00:38.08 | Aeo | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Aeoneonatrix#Education_and_Upbringing New section. Feedback would be appreciated. |
| 00:38.24 | DrodoEmpire | It had a *really* fuckin' rough past, but its a very vibrant society now |
| 00:38.26 | Abysswalker25 | 12 feet tall, a race of giants |
| 00:38.30 | DrodoEmpire | No...? :p |
| 00:38.48 | Abysswalker25 | Technology known to be able to erase entire star systems |
| 00:38.57 | DrodoEmpire | They're actually pretty short and while fairly militaristic, not mindlessly violent like the Loron |
| 00:39.05 | DrodoEmpire | *they are |
| 00:39.08 | Abysswalker25 | Im just rambling on for no reason |
| 00:39.18 | DrodoEmpire | I'd say. :p |
| 00:39.18 | Aeo | That's too much for a starting empire I think. |
| 00:39.34 | Abysswalker25 | The Drodo Empire is new? |
| 00:39.48 | DrodoEmpire | No, its been around for a good two years now |
| 00:39.50 | DrodoEmpire | At least |
| 00:39.56 | Abysswalker25 | Oh. |
| 00:39.56 | Aeo | Wait, which one are we talking about? |
| 00:39.59 | DrodoEmpire | Its 2.9 |
| 00:40.05 | DrodoEmpire | I'm a little confused now too |
| 00:40.21 | Abysswalker25 | Basically, I started telling a bunch of lies and hyping up the Drodo Empire. |
| 00:40.21 | Aeo | Whose empire can erase star systems? |
| 00:40.35 | Aeo | Ah. |
| 00:40.40 | DrodoEmpire | Ohh |
| 00:40.45 | Abysswalker25 | Xhodocto could, if you wanna be very technical. |
| 00:40.53 | Technobliterator | There aren't many more empires more openly hostile than Da Rogue Boyz |
| 00:41.02 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 00:41.07 | Technobliterator | Maybe the Dominion, but they don't really count |
| 00:42.15 | Monet | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Draconid_Imperium/Military#Special_Forces Worte up briefly on the special forces units of the Di |
| 00:43.08 | Abysswalker25 | The Loron make me laugh with their oversized heads and bug-eyes. |
| 00:43.12 | DrodoEmpire | I've... *Really* neglected special forces in regards to the Drodoian military. :p I might wanna fix that but I don't find them very interesting right about now |
| 00:43.47 | Abysswalker25 | Reminds me, I should expand my own millitary. Or make a page about characters. Idk. |
| 00:44.00 | Abysswalker25 | Theres just a lot to do lol |
| 00:45.03 | DrodoEmpire | Abyss: Well... They're also pretty imposing, physically. They're so strong, in fact, that they manage to beat well-organized militaries when they themselves are little more than an armed mob. That doesn't happen often. XD |
| 00:45.50 | DrodoEmpire | Takes an explosive balance of incredibly-powerful individual fighters, a fearsome reputation, psychological warfare, and, of course, numbers. Overwhelming numbers. |
| 00:45.54 | Monet | The Astral Ranger Corps is probably the newest addition as I made it just last night lol. |
| 00:46.14 | Monet | this night, sorry |
| 00:46.20 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
| 00:46.22 | DrodoEmpire | Taking a look |
| 00:47.00 | Monet | I had all these super-elite special froces, and not something with a lower benchmark or more open recruiting stock. |
| 00:47.15 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 00:48.35 | DrodoEmpire | Granted, Drodo aren't *too* different by-times to the Loron. They're *big* fans of bayonet charges and their officers wear (and use) full-blown swords in battle, after all. XD |
| 00:49.05 | DrodoEmpire | Partially because I've never been a fan of straight-up *modern* warfare. I've always leaned towards the Napoleonic wars |
| 00:49.09 | DrodoEmpire | And earlier |
| 00:49.36 | Abysswalker25 | Umbris use traps and terrain to their advantage. They don't like fighting in the open because if the enemy has better numbers, they can be overwhelmed. |
| 00:49.41 | Abysswalker25 | Divide and Conquer. |
| 00:49.45 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 00:50.47 | Technobliterator | Abysswalker25, the Loron in general are comic relief and not meant to be taken seriously except under a few rare circumstances :p |
| 00:51.13 | Technobliterator | It's kind of why they're possibly the most humanocentric in the fiction universe |
| 00:51.17 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 00:51.20 | Abysswalker25 | From what I've seen, they are the most dangerous beings of all. If they were less stupid, chances are they'd have overrun everyone. |
| 00:51.59 | Technobliterator | More or less |
| 00:52.05 | Abysswalker25 | That is why |
| 00:52.10 | Abysswalker25 | I will capture a loron and experiment on it |
| 00:52.14 | Abysswalker25 | to give it hyper intelligence |
| 00:52.17 | Technobliterator | Outside of UNO, they are disorganised |
| 00:52.29 | DrodoEmpire | Well, one of the more physically-imposing. I imagine its trivially-easy to outwit the rare Loron military commander. XD |
| 00:52.48 | Monet | Also I imagined the Ranger Corps and Wraith Legion would have a bit of friction between each other. |
| 00:52.56 | DrodoEmpire | Rivalry? |
| 00:53.14 | Technobliterator | It's not like the Loron military have ever heard of tactics |
| 00:53.22 | Monet | DrodoEmpire: Yeah |
| 00:53.34 | Abysswalker25 | I will use my greatest invention of all to fight them. |
| 00:53.34 | DrodoEmpire | Sort-of like how the US Marines and... Every other branch of the United States army are rivals? |
| 00:53.35 | Abysswalker25 | The fence. |
| 00:53.35 | DrodoEmpire | XD |
| 00:53.48 | DrodoEmpire | Tech: Yeah I suppose |
| 00:54.10 | DrodoEmpire | Abyss: Best be a big fence. |
| 00:54.20 | Monet | Ranger - Tin man! Legionnaire - Dirt-eating pasny! |
| 00:54.22 | DrodoEmpire | They might not have brains, but they have *plenty* of big guns |
| 00:54.39 | Abysswalker25 | No, its one of those fences from Pokemon |
| 00:54.48 | Abysswalker25 | you can't go over it. You can't go through it. |
| 00:54.51 | DrodoEmpire | Drodo Cavalryman - Heh I'm actually taller than either of you for once |
| 00:55.09 | DrodoEmpire | Drodo Cavalryman - *stands up on stirrups* Hah! |
| 00:55.25 | DrodoEmpire | *in stirrups |
| 00:55.27 | Monet | And yes, with the right gene mods there probably are rangers that can sustain themselves (for a time) on soil. |
| 00:55.35 | DrodoEmpire | Makes sense |
| 00:55.42 | DrodoEmpire | Rations run out eventually. :p |
| 00:55.48 | Abysswalker25 | I had an idea to create a race of adorable looking walrus people that are actually the owners of a MASSIVE criminal empire, and generally act like the space mafia. |
| 00:56.00 | DrodoEmpire | Eh, could work |
| 00:56.10 | Technobliterator | fun fact, the Loron are the only fiction I ever made that I'm proud of |
| 00:56.12 | Abysswalker25 | I got the idea from Conker's Bad Fur Day lol |
| 00:56.16 | Monet | That's one of the key soruces of friction though. Rangers prefer gene mods, Wraith Legion prefer bionics. |
| 00:56.36 | DrodoEmpire | In my (admittedly limited) experience with that sort of thing though it can get a bit hectic. Extranational organizations I mean |
| 00:56.49 | Technobliterator | The others have gone through masses of revisions and I still think they're just so-so |
| 00:56.54 | DrodoEmpire | Don't let that discourage you, but be wary of what you're going through |
| 00:57.04 | DrodoEmpire | I don't think they're bad Tech. :3 |
| 00:57.16 | DrodoEmpire | *getting yourself into. |
| 00:57.18 | DrodoEmpire | >.< |
| 00:57.18 | Abysswalker25 | I think I'll just focus on the Umbris for now. I'm still new, need to learn the ins and outs. |
| 00:57.23 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 00:57.31 | Technobliterator | Maybe not too bad, but there's definitely a lot of fiction better than mine |
| 00:57.57 | Abysswalker25 | I think a lot of people feel like that about themselves, except for the most arrogant. |
| 00:58.11 | Technobliterator | Yeah, that's true |
| 00:58.21 | Technobliterator | Modesty is healthy |
| 00:58.25 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 00:58.31 | Abysswalker25 | When I was writing up my page I was terrified of it not being up to snuff with the older ones. |
| 00:58.49 | Abysswalker25 | Hearing that it was 'fine' was a relief lol |
| 00:59.00 | DrodoEmpire | Though, humility to the point of where you *seriously* believe you aren't the best thing since sliced bread isn't... <.< |
| 01:00.17 | Monet | There's modesty and then there's denial over any kind of merit. |
| 01:00.53 | Abysswalker25 | No, but I get kind of depressed if I get no comment when I make a story. Makes me feel like it isn't very good. |
| 01:01.01 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:01.06 | Technobliterator | To be fair, it's hard for me to say anything is worse than or better than the Loron because there's so few fiction like it. I just say it does what it does, if you're into that sort of thing, you'll have a fun time reading it. |
| 01:01.18 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah, definitely |
| 01:02.24 | Technobliterator | I think I wrote about 80 Loron pages in total. |
| 01:02.38 | DrodoEmpire | Like |
| 01:02.55 | DrodoEmpire | Eighty *information* pages? |
| 01:03.09 | Technobliterator | Oh, a couple of them were story pages |
| 01:03.16 | DrodoEmpire | Ah... |
| 01:03.22 | DrodoEmpire | Well still |
| 01:03.39 | Technobliterator | At least 92 Taldar pages, but I've considered getting rid of a lot of those |
| 01:04.29 | DrodoEmpire | I was about to say if those were all info pages; Jesus tapdancing Christ that'd be a lot of info for one fiction |
| 01:04.40 | Technobliterator | :p |
| 01:04.55 | Technobliterator | None of them are massively essential, though |
| 01:04.57 | Abysswalker25 | I'm looking forward to my first collaberation. Of course |
| 01:05.02 | Abysswalker25 | I have no one to do such with just yet |
| 01:05.14 | DrodoEmpire | I should be good in a little while |
| 01:05.17 | Abysswalker25 | But it will be interesting I think |
| 01:05.18 | DrodoEmpire | So I *could* |
| 01:05.27 | Technobliterator | Most people only write a few paragraphs for soldier classes or ships, and I write whole pages for each |
| 01:05.35 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:05.41 | Technobliterator | Which is why I end up with so many fiction pages |
| 01:05.47 | Abysswalker25 | I made a couple. I really -really- need more space ships though. |
| 01:05.57 | Abysswalker25 | I just have the Shadow Star and Stealth Fighter MK-3 |
| 01:06.01 | DrodoEmpire | I really have sort-of the reverse problem; I don't make enough subpages I find |
| 01:06.15 | DrodoEmpire | Almost all you need to know about the Drodo is one long-ass page. :p |
| 01:06.43 | DrodoEmpire | (Except some small details like the police force, and the not-so-small detail like the Aristocracy maybe) |
| 01:06.43 | Abysswalker25 | Millitary wise I've got.. 3, so far. |
| 01:06.53 | Abysswalker25 | Defender, Soldier, Void-Stalker. I might add more. |
| 01:07.09 | DrodoEmpire | Might need to. Having a well-rounded armed forces is pretty important |
| 01:08.00 | Monet | When it comes to infantry, the DI page seems to be massively expansive but also somehat vague. Like I've lsited the different divisions but not the specialisations of soldier i nthose divisions. |
| 01:08.03 | DrodoEmpire | Speaking of which the Drodo have basically a national police force. They don't like relying on provincial ones and these police are semi-militarized. XD They are often the ones fighting armed revolts or forming the first line of defence in the event of hostile incursion |
| 01:08.09 | Technobliterator | I like to separate them because of wiki purposes |
| 01:08.25 | Technobliterator | Mostly technical reasons |
| 01:08.32 | DrodoEmpire | So they are a *lot* like the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the 1800's |
| 01:09.01 | Abysswalker25 | I'm thinking of adding Medics and Heavy Troopers. |
| 01:09.08 | Abysswalker25 | Or demolitions |
| 01:09.11 | Abysswalker25 | cause who doesn't like bombs |
| 01:10.11 | Monet | I recal lsomewhere dedicated medics have become less prominent in modern battlefields. |
| 01:10.31 | Technobliterator | MediaWiki hates long pages and there's ~35k byte limits before it starts hating people |
| 01:10.40 | Abysswalker25 | It'd be a 'combat medic' type thing. |
| 01:10.42 | AdmiralPanda | That's not true, what is true is that now basically everyone has grassroots medical training, and medical access is more reliable |
| 01:11.09 | AdmiralPanda | there are still squad medics and all, it's just there's less of a stark "he's the only guy in the squad that can put you back together" |
| 01:11.15 | Technobliterator | And it also really, really hates people who shove too many templates on a page, and doesn't like when people add more than one infobox |
| 01:11.28 | Abysswalker25 | I'll add 5 then. |
| 01:11.35 | Technobliterator | because I like using info boxes and templates and masses of text everywhere...yeah |
| 01:11.53 | Monet | AdmiralPanda: So more "he's the only guy in the squad who can do more than a quick fix-up"? |
| 01:12.00 | AdmiralPanda | basically, yeah |
| 01:12.56 | Aeo | "Anyways, the EoD have a very long and complicated set of differing military troop and ship types which I will now spend like five-thousand words describing despite the fact that these details will absolutely never ever come up in, let alone matter in the context of any story I will ever write with these characters." - The Parody Empire I'm Writing. |
| 01:12.58 | Monet | And withi nthe DI that change might be more pronounced as every marine and legionnaire carries seeveral "instant stitch-up" nanite syringes |
| 01:13.03 | AdmiralPanda | like I remember in my fourth year of cadets when we were doing a first aid course on annual camp, the army medic that was running it said something along hte lines of "your average digger today has the same medical training as a field medic back then" |
| 01:13.46 | AdmiralPanda | same level of* |
| 01:14.13 | Monet | So first aid in the Talon Aetheral corps becomes "I'm hit!" *stab, waits a bit* "Okay back in action!" |
| 01:14.44 | DrodoEmpire | Aeo: Differing fiction writing styles man. :p Character-based ones? Not so much, maybe. But summaries of entire wars or outlines of battles its important. |
| 01:15.09 | DrodoEmpire | I get its parody but parody should be accurate. :p |
| 01:15.43 | Monet | But the DI still uses medics as nanosprays at best only stop the bleeding and immediate pain. |
| 01:15.47 | TekDroid | So this fix should either make this work, or I'll BSOD again. >.< |
| 01:15.57 | Abysswalker25 | Okay, what about |
| 01:16.06 | Abysswalker25 | (Stealing from X-com) a support soldier? |
| 01:16.16 | DrodoEmpire | Well what would such a soldier have? |
| 01:16.29 | AdmiralPanda | TekDroid: y u BSOD'ing? |
| 01:16.55 | Abysswalker25 | Support soldiers generally work to make everyone on their team better. Like, they carry a bunch of smoke bombs, or med-kits. Things like that. |
| 01:17.08 | TekDroid | Space Engine bug with AMD/ATI graphics cards. |
| 01:17.25 | AdmiralPanda | for a moment I thought you said space engineers and I was worried |
| 01:18.00 | TekDroid | Unless Space Engineers has black holes. :P |
| 01:18.18 | Abysswalker25 | Real black holes look.. weird. |
| 01:18.24 | Abysswalker25 | They aren't as fancy as I thought |
| 01:18.25 | TekDroid | Oh thank goodness, only a crash. |
| 01:18.40 | DrodoEmpire | Basically, if you're using modern warfare as a basis (which would be a good start for humanoids), the majority of troops in an infantry squad *generally* are armed with some sort of service rifle, and are fairly-all around. Then they have a few specialists, such as medics, and perhaps one or two troops armed with a machine gun of some sort. |
| 01:18.51 | DrodoEmpire | For fire-support |
| 01:18.52 | AdmiralPanda | speaking of which, you can now take your helmet off with a single button-press in SE now |
| 01:19.00 | Abysswalker25 | Yeah, Soldiers make up the bulk. |
| 01:19.25 | Monet | But compared to years ago, said soldiers are trained to be more adaptive. |
| 01:20.05 | Monet | A particular squaddie coudl carry the LMG one mission, and a marksman's rifle the enxt. |
| 01:20.32 | Monet | next* |
| 01:20.34 | DrodoEmpire | Such a general "support soldier" *might* work... But really it may be more important to have maybe two different specialists for medical and explosives-handling, and then another one or two armed with LMGs. I just feel having a one-size-fits-all support trooper may be putting too many eggs in one basket |
| 01:20.53 | DrodoEmpire | I'd develop the idea further, at any rate. Its a good start though |
| 01:20.53 | Abysswalker25 | I don't want a guy with bombs also carrying meds. |
| 01:21.07 | Abysswalker25 | Means to give someone a medspray and accidently gives them a bomb. |
| 01:21.26 | Abysswalker25 | I bet the loron do that. |
| 01:21.39 | AdmiralPanda | They take out the "accidentaly" |
| 01:21.45 | Technobliterator | I'm sure it's been known to happen |
| 01:22.39 | TekDroid | jumps into point blank ranfe of black hole with no crash |
| 01:22.48 | Abysswalker25 | Out of curiosity are they a "the strongest rules everyone else" type people? Or do they just rally under ones that are slightly less stupid? |
| 01:22.50 | TekDroid | has a heaet attack |
| 01:23.08 | TekDroid | Well... worked that time. XD |
| 01:23.17 | Abysswalker25 | Or whoever can rap the best |
| 01:23.43 | Monet | EODs may have steady hands ,but sometimes it's best ot keep them as EODs |
| 01:24.18 | DrodoEmpire | TekDroid: Yeah I'll be honest the SpaceEngine black hole freaks me out |
| 01:24.39 | AdmiralPanda | the idea of a generalised specialist is in itself silly |
| 01:24.44 | DrodoEmpire | Well, they do in general but I mean its weird |
| 01:24.45 | Abysswalker25 | Anyways, Void-Stalkers are their most dangerous. They're a bit like Spectres from ME. Except uh, more stealthy. |
| 01:24.57 | TekDroid | I did the "go to" and it put me 10000km from its event horizon. XD |
| 01:25.09 | Abysswalker25 | They lack a commander shepard though |
| 01:25.13 | DrodoEmpire | Also very important would be vehicles. A military without vehicles isn't much of one at all. :p |
| 01:25.27 | DrodoEmpire | Or at least some sort of heavy support in that way |
| 01:25.49 | TekDroid | DrodoEmpire: I'm now travelling to a quasar. XD |
| 01:26.00 | DrodoEmpire | Oh my |
| 01:26.08 | DrodoEmpire | That'll be fun |
| 01:26.47 | TekDroid | It has a star only about 2AU from the event horizon. |
| 01:27.04 | Monet | http://api.ning.com/files/Qjue*IiF3PTpfbH2-BihgjYNSSCRcKfOjoTga4ZzmwPa7JwfFCr8LPcRmMKWuxlgPVfIsyS7iCZsBefsbveNtV7O4H7vD7jN/060822N9769P105.jpg I guess it's a sign of the times when the best we have for "walking tank" style soldiers mainly have the armour to keep them alive against unexploded bombs. |
| 01:27.27 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:27.37 | AdmiralPanda | That's more because any kind of armour strong enough to actually stop a military bullet would be way too heavy and cumbersome to wear :P |
| 01:27.44 | DrodoEmpire | Tek: TWO AU!? Cutting it pretty damn close, eh? |
| 01:28.10 | Monet | AdmiralPanda: Mobility is very important in today's battlefield, yeah. |
| 01:28.22 | DrodoEmpire | That'd actually make for a great screenshot. Take one? |
| 01:28.25 | AdmiralPanda | that and, you know, the ability to walk XD |
| 01:28.35 | DrodoEmpire | From the star or better, one of its planets (if it has any) |
| 01:28.57 | TekDroid | DrodoEmpire: Just the mapmode near iy literally practically gave me a heart attack. |
| 01:29.19 | DrodoEmpire | "Literally practically" |
| 01:29.21 | DrodoEmpire | Anyway moving on |
| 01:29.27 | DrodoEmpire | Huh |
| 01:30.14 | Monet | So the best way to get SPARTANS is to find out how to cerate a body armour that doesn't severely weigh a person down |
| 01:30.36 | Monet | Although given the modern battlefields are i nthe middle-east, breathability wouldn't hurt either lol |
| 01:30.45 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:31.00 | DrodoEmpire | "Power Armour" has a long way to come before becoming practical. |
| 01:31.11 | Technobliterator | wait, spartian is back? I thought I permabanned him : | |
| 01:31.12 | DrodoEmpire | Though when it *does* its going to be quite a revolution in infantry tactics |
| 01:31.23 | Technobliterator | is he evading again? |
| 01:31.25 | DrodoEmpire | No, as in the supersoldier from Halo. |
| 01:31.30 | Technobliterator | Oh |
| 01:31.32 | Technobliterator | aw |
| 01:31.37 | Technobliterator | I wanted to hammer people |
| 01:31.44 | DrodoEmpire | Though it'd be *awesome* if he did come back. XD |
| 01:32.16 | AdmiralPanda | the funny thing is, the spartans actually gain most of their protection from their energy field |
| 01:32.18 | DrodoEmpire | But really we're already in the middle of, or perhaps continuing on, an infantry revolution dating back to the 1300's. |
| 01:33.06 | Monet | Still, I guess some confidence can be taken in that while we don't have power armour, a soldier of today still has a much better chance of surviving and performing well compared to 40 years ago. |
| 01:33.09 | Technobliterator | I misread Spartan as Spartian |
| 01:33.10 | Technobliterator | bleh |
| 01:33.30 | DrodoEmpire | The infantryman has steadily gained potency and importance on the battlefield from that time; Up to the point that now that in many militaries, the infantryman is an elite specialist in their own right; Not merely the *bulk* or main line of an attacking force |
| 01:33.39 | DrodoEmpire | *"bulk" |
| 01:33.47 | DrodoEmpire | Monet: Definitely. |
| 01:34.00 | Monet | https://reibert.info/attachments/10_zps3b5b0514-jpg.2768045/ ythis kind of gear still looks pretty sophisticated compared to the soldier of WWII |
| 01:35.14 | DrodoEmpire | Definitely |
| 01:36.10 | DrodoEmpire | The body armour, weapons, even the uniform have all advanced massively |
| 01:36.29 | DrodoEmpire | Can't say it looks anywhere near as nice as WWII soldier did, or before then |
| 01:36.32 | AdmiralPanda | I wouldn't call your regular trooper elite or a specialist because those are relative terms; and while it's true that infantry are maintaining quite an important role, the only time that wasn't the case was during the eras of tank and cavalry warfare |
| 01:37.11 | DrodoEmpire | I find modern uniforms and battle wear hideous; Just a conglomeration of *stuff* all over the soldier. |
| 01:37.13 | Monet | I do kind of fancy something similar with the DI. I imagine the Talon Ground Legions are wearing a jumpsuit interwoven with a mesh that makes it as resillient as any light body armour. |
| 01:38.36 | DrodoEmpire | Admiral: Unfortunately, Tank and Cavalry warfare have been the primary modes of warfare for most of human history. :p My point is that the infantryman is better-trained and more important then it has been for many, many years. |
| 01:38.49 | DrodoEmpire | *Unfortunately? I dunno |
| 01:39.04 | DrodoEmpire | **Though? Maybe. Dunno still. |
| 01:40.12 | Monet | Wow http://i2.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/incoming/article626073.ece/alternates/s615/C_71_article_1455437_image_list_image_list_item_0_image.jpg this was what the Riot police wore during the 2011 UK August Riots. |
| 01:40.26 | AdmiralPanda | I hear your point and raise you Rome, in fact basically everywhere that wasn't Mongolia or pre-SJ Japan, and most gunpowder age fighting has been infantry |
| 01:40.56 | DrodoEmpire | Monet: Scary shit. |
| 01:41.01 | AdmiralPanda | now sure you had the chivalry era knights, but at the same time as they were riding around the spear line and bowman were just as important if not as noteworthy |
| 01:42.35 | DrodoEmpire | AdmiralPanda: Middle-ages. Heavy cavalry dominated most of the time. Of course, the archer became more and more relevant (basically peaking at the hundred years' war), and that's what I mean by the "continuation of the infantry revolution that started in the 1300's". Of *course* the gunpowder age was dominated by the infantry |
| 01:42.37 | Monet | William of Normandy was able to gain an upper hand at Hastings because of the mobility cavalry offered. |
| 01:43.08 | Monet | And odere http://www.scmp.com/sites/default/files/styles/980w/public/2013/10/12/955fd6e59a2add18d83ce59d9c973ac1.jpg?itok=ez1Q8m6V this is the kidn fo gear the US Army are trying to develop for thei rtroops |
| 01:43.34 | AdmiralPanda | And before the middle ages the infantryman was also dominant :P |
| 01:43.44 | DrodoEmpire | But think of even the bronze age. Chariots and early cavalry absolutely controlled the battlefield. Medieval Indian armies were comprised of an experienced cavalry elite and some elephants with infantry (until the introduction of firearms) basically as filler. |
| 01:44.29 | DrodoEmpire | Then the tide shifted again to infantry, with Rome and Greece. And then back until now you have what seems to be perhaps a more permanent infantry revolution. |
| 01:46.49 | Monet | I prefer to envision DI soldiers wearing something sleek, ergonomic and potentially flexible. But also double up as a spacesuit. |
| 01:49.19 | AdmiralPanda | From what I'm reading now, up until about 400bc bronze-age greek cavalry was largely used as either transport or harrassment forces, at which point the cavalry charge was then developed. It is unknown when the hoplite phalanx formation was developed but the earliest depiction is 650bc |
| 01:49.27 | AdmiralPanda | so the dominant phalanx structure came first :P |
| 01:50.50 | DrodoEmpire | By chariots and whatnot I meant farther east. Egypt and mesopotamia. |
| 01:52.31 | AdmiralPanda | In egypt chariots were typically used to deliver the first strike to create an opening for the infantry formations to exploit |

| 18:58.00 | OluapWorker | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Merovar_Dynasty I rewrote this |

| 19:00.41 | Xho | The Shiarchon are using broken Latin there |
| 19:01.08 | OluapWorker | Shiarchon - heers wut i think of u hgfghdfghdfDSFJGHSDJGSDHGF |
| 19:01.23 | Xho | >jaw fell off |
| 19:01.50 | OluapWorker | Shiarchon - im officially an elder |
| 19:02.26 | Xho | Changed quote |
| 19:02.38 | Aeondroid | Cleanser - Does that mean your soul costs extra? |
| 19:03.08 | Xho | Shiarchon have no souls, kinda why everything that lives hate them |
| 19:03.37 | OluapWorker | Skeltasdraskeli - noice a walkin sledgehammer |
| 19:03.49 | Xho | Ndrhthryr - been called worse things |
| 19:04.10 | Aeondroid | Cleanser - ... Can I buy whatever you have instead of a soul then? |
| 19:18.22 | Xho | Just thinking about it, the Dalmiric Kingdom must have an insanely developed coastal culture |
| 19:18.48 | Xho | Being one of the very few nations that actually resides next to a coast naturally |
| 19:20.29 | OluapWorker | Xacutus - so do i wats ur point no i dont know wat dis 'ship' fing is |
| 19:20.58 | Xho | Kalarah - 4 an ancient precursor u sure r stoopid |
| 19:21.17 | OluapWorker | Xacutus - bro did u ever try puttin a million fire monstars in a wood ship |
| 19:21.59 | Xho | Kalarah - dis is y u make magic ships of darkstone |
| 19:22.07 | Xho | Not that the Shiarchon would do that |
| 19:22.30 | Xho | They could but the fears of the matrices disengaging mid-travel would cause a few deaths |
| 19:22.49 | Xho | Darkstone ship sinking would go down fast |
| 19:23.27 | OluapWorker | That'd be ridiculous anyway hur |
| 19:24.01 | Xho | I imagine the Void Denizens of old would have had vessels to traverse the waters |

| 19:24.20 | Xho | More like animate Chimera that the denizens resided in |

| 19:46.49 | OluapWorker | I hope they didn't come off as generic or unfitting |
| 19:49.32 | Imperios | Well aside from the fact that you haven't developed their culture much, they aren't, I like them so far |
| 19:49.41 | Imperios | I think the title "Racial Leader" is a bit too generic though |
| 19:49.58 | OluapWorker | Couldn't really think of anything |
| 19:49.59 | OluapWorker | else |

| 19:53.29 | OluapWorker | That's an idea |
| 19:53.29 | Imperios | Something Turkish could work also, for some reason I generally think of Turkey when I see Merovar... "Bay", perhaps? That was the title of individual ethnic/tribal leaders in the Ottoman Empire |

| 20:08.50 | OluapWorker | Also barbarians got changed so much |
| 20:08.58 | Imperios | My strategy was basically "get money + get faith + ally everyone" |
| 20:09.06 | Imperios | At the end like 90% of the world was Muslim |
| 20:09.30 | Imperios | And I was rich as fuck because all these Muslim cities gave me money |
| 20:09.54 | OluapWorker | yes good goys, we are muslims |
| 20:10.20 | Imperios | Muslims are goys by definition hur |
| 20:11.02 | Imperios | Hm about Turkey, they had a rather interesting way of forming armies |
| 20:11.05 | OluapWorker | I tried one game as VOTE FOR PEDRO II but I realized Archipelago was a bad idea for a map |
| 20:11.18 | OluapWorker | Everything is tiny and you can barely do anything |
| 20:11.22 | Imperios | Yeah it is, until you are England |
| 20:11.27 | Imperios | Then you can tophat the world to death |
| 20:11.38 | OluapWorker | Klaxxa - our master plan |
| 20:11.41 | Imperios | Yep |
| 20:12.17 | Imperios | I played as Catherine but then Japan stabbed me in the back and I died |
| 20:12.24 | Imperios | Koreans are OP though |
| 20:12.29 | OluapWorker | I remember playing Civ IV all the time as Montezuma because he ignored anarchy |
| 20:12.36 | OluapWorker | Montezuma was sanic-mode |
| 20:12.41 | Imperios | I had giant robots when my enemies had lancers |
| 20:13.04 | OluapWorker | "BEST KOREA STRONK" |
| 20:13.36 | Imperios | Essentially |
| 20:13.51 | OluapWorker | Montezula actually looks intimidating in V |
| 20:14.59 | Imperios | He is a bit creepy |
| 20:15.14 | Imperios | Shaka is more intimidating though |
| 20:15.25 | OluapWorker | Shaka |
| 20:15.27 | OluapWorker | who dat again |
| 20:15.33 | Imperios | The black guy |
| 20:15.37 | OluapWorker | hur |
| 20:15.44 | OluapWorker | There's more than one black guy in this game |
| 20:15.46 | Xho | Ximicacan |
| 20:15.59 | Imperios | The naked one |
| 20:16.03 | Xho | The Zulus in general are scary as fuck in Civ V |
| 20:16.08 | Xho | Until later game |
| 20:16.09 | Imperios | Not the one in the suit and not the one with a turban |
| 20:16.21 | Imperios | http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4oIoP_gB-rc/maxresdefault.jpg Him |
| 20:16.37 | OluapWorker | ah |
| 20:16.47 | OluapWorker | Elephant skellies |
| 20:16.57 | Imperios | 2spookt |
| 20:17.14 | Hachiman | Elephant skulls look weird |
| 20:17.24 | OluapWorker | It looks like they have one eye |
| 20:17.26 | OluapWorker | Like Sonic |
| 20:17.46 | Hachiman | I one heard somebody suggest that tales of Cyclopes came about when Greeks saw elephant skulls and had no explanation for them |
| 20:18.07 | OluapWorker | Huh |
| 20:18.08 | Imperios | Ya |
| 20:18.11 | OluapWorker | I can see the resemblance |
| 20:18.13 | Tek0516 | That actually makes a lot of sense. |
| 20:18.30 | OluapWorker | I often see depictions of cyclopi with elephant-like tusks |
| 20:20.18 | Imperios | I'm currently trying higher difficulty levels |
| 20:20.59 | OluapWorker | I never played anything harder than easiest because i'm a huge scrub who's afraid of war hur |
| 20:21.31 | Xho | Harald Bluetooth sounds like a Sim I have to say |
| 20:21.39 | Hachiman | >not playing on hardest difficulty >saying you play games |
| 20:21.41 | Hachiman | Pick one kek |
| 20:22.01 | OluapWorker | Sya |
| 20:22.14 | OluapWorker | Says the one got stuck on basarios |
| 20:22.17 | OluapWorker | get lost kiddo |
| 20:22.18 | Imperios | hur |
| 20:22.43 | Imperios | I like how Civ V music is based on ethnic motives |
| 20:22.58 | Imperios | Hearing Korean and Russian music was a big "oh shit I know this" moment for me |
| 20:23.23 | OluapWorker | Meanwhile Pedro II's war theme is something out of a James Bond movie |
| 20:24.22 | OluapWorker | Brazilian supervillains, spreading the hue until the whole world submits |
| 20:24.31 | Imperios | That's actually odd because its tune is straight from a Brazilian festival song AFAIK |
| 20:24.32 | Imperios | Is it? |
| 20:24.46 | OluapWorker | I don't hear brazilian music so I don't know hur |
| 20:24.53 | OluapWorker | listen to* |
| 20:24.54 | Xho | Nebuchadnezzar has a throat infection |
| 20:25.45 | Imperios | Russian war music is an Orthodox chorus chanting Pushkin over a tune from Russian ballet |
| 20:25.59 | Imperios | That's basically over-the-top Russianness |
| 20:26.43 | Charles_Murray | In a good way, or bad way? xD |
| 20:29.40 | Imperios | Cool-sounding but odd |
| 20:29.44 | Imperios | Imagine a Catholic chorus was chanting Victor Hugo over a Jean-Baptiste Lully |
| 20:29.55 | Imperios | *Jean-Baptiste Lully ballet |
| 20:29.56 | OluapWorker | "We were defeated, so this makes me your prisoner. I suppose there are worse fates." |
| 20:30.00 | OluapWorker | ur leader is a slut |
| 20:30.06 | Imperios | Her Slutness yep |
| 20:30.19 | Imperios | What makes it interesting is that her dialogue is identical regardless of gender |
| 20:30.24 | Imperios | Of your leader I mean |
| 20:30.35 | OluapWorker | I'm sure you enjoy that huyr |
| 20:30.57 | Imperios | Wu Zetian + Catherine = lesbian alliance of doom |
| 20:31.08 | Imperios | Gandhi, Shaka and Pedro are conscripted along the way to create BRICS |
| 20:32.10 | OluapWorker | BRICS proceeds to angrily nuke everyone |
| 20:32.34 | Imperios | ...And everyone else died |
| 20:32.45 | Imperios | Leaving only two of us on this website |
| 20:32.52 | Imperios | And that Chinese guy |

| 20:33.43 | Xho | Hachiman: That new form is actually called Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan |
| 20:33.45 | Imperios | Meanwhile Cyrannian's country's leader is an angry tatooed ginger with a sword |
| 20:33.51 | Xho | goddammit dragon ball stahp dis |
| 20:33.55 | Imperios | Who converts everyone else to her religion |
| 20:34.01 | PandaMechanicus | funnily enough I rarely have a problem with wars in Civ because I usually play Babylon and the ultimate tank wall begins |
| 20:34.02 | Cyrannian | Wait what now |
| 20:34.03 | OluapWorker | I met her on my game |
| 20:34.04 | Hachiman | Yep |
| 20:34.07 | OluapWorker | I thought she was cute hur |
| 20:34.10 | Imperios | We're discussing Civilization V |
| 20:34.40 | Imperios | Where your country (mashed together with Wales and Scotland) is represented by Boudicca |
| 20:35.00 | OluapWorker | I tried to be friends with her but she downright refused to accept a declaration of friendship |
| 20:35.15 | PandaMechanicus | *coughs loudly* And where exactly does that put Elizabeth? |
| 20:35.33 | PandaMechanicus | Boudicca is the Celts, yes, but England is represented by Elizabeth |
| 20:36.38 | OluapWorker | Meanwhile Hiawatha was like <33333 to me even though I barely ever talked to him |
| 20:36.38 | Imperios | Yep, but Cyrannian isn't English |
| 20:36.53 | PandaMechanicus | OluapWorker: Hiawatha is buddies with everyone |
| 20:37.10 | Imperios | Boudicca was a bitch in my game |
| 20:37.16 | Imperios | I was in a middle of a war with Americans |
| 20:37.17 | Cyrannian | I have Civ V installed but I haven't played it in a while. |
| 20:37.29 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 20:37.35 | Imperios | Then out of nowhere she attacked and took over my coastal cities |
| 20:37.36 | Imperios | Bitch |
| 20:37.52 | OluapWorker | Boudicca - out of burger, heer in com |
| 20:38.04 | Imperios | At least I conquered the burgers |
| 20:38.06 | Cyrannian | Do you guys play multiplayer games? |
| 20:38.17 | PandaMechanicus | I play multiplayer games, just not with these scrubs |
| 20:38.23 | Imperios | Mostly pleb ones |
| 20:38.27 | OluapWorker | My game is a pirated version so I can't |
| 20:38.30 | Xho | I haven't played it in a while |
| 20:38.35 | Xho | And I suck |
| 20:38.43 | Xho | Man do I suck at strategy games |
| 20:39.00 | Xho | You can tell how I play games when I prefer games that don't require thought |
| 20:39.17 | PandaMechanicus | As I said, my play style is mostly Babylon, sit behind walls, win by a long shot because nobody can breach the glorious walls when I'm usually a full tech tier ahead of everyone |
| 20:40.13 | OluapWorker | I spend my time getting bullied by barbarians and ignoring everyone around me because as far as I'm aware everyone is a dick |
| 20:40.22 | drom | SS13 is hella of fun |
| 20:40.30 | PandaMechanicus | That's because everyone is a dick |
| 20:40.47 | PandaMechanicus | everyone except the almighty Doge, that guy's cool no matter who you are |
| 20:41.07 | OluapWorker | Truly a testament of how welcoming and nice humankind is |
| 20:41.57 | drom | Hm I should consider reinstalling CIV 5 |
| 20:42.29 | Xho | https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/11138563_457356457755047_3220430172825427956_n.jpg?oh=713d52636c57f6e0720e4774076b0f69&oe=559B1E3C |
| 20:42.47 | PandaMechanicus | early game (as in the only time Babylon is vulnerable ever) you have the Walls of Babylon, so you're practically uncapturable if you have at least a decent military force |
| 20:42.47 | OluapWorker | hur |
| 20:43.59 | PandaMechanicus | and by mid-late game you have so much better tech that nobody can touch you anyway |
| 20:44.15 | drom | This applies to Korea as well. |
| 20:44.32 | Imperios | Yes Koreans are essentially the same |
| 20:45.37 | PandaMechanicus | you do not have glorious walls of babylon though |
| 20:45.46 | PandaMechanicus | so Rome will come and take your shit before you get established :P |
| 20:46.51 | Hachiman | "I was just at an ATM and an old lady asked me to check her balance. So I pushed her over." |
| 20:47.12 | Imperios | But then walls of Babylon get useless later |
| 20:47.21 | Imperios | And Korea gets grorious Hwachas |
| 20:47.37 | Imperios | Hwaiting for your death |
| 20:49.28 | PandaMechanicus | Hwachas are useless against walls in general, and they mean little when I have such glorious technologies |
| 20:49.41 | PandaMechanicus | being a whole tech tier above people is not to be laughed at |
| 20:51.04 | Imperios | You misunderstood me a bit |
| 20:51.23 | Imperios | Hwachas are defensive weapons, i.e they serve the same purpose as WoB |
| 20:51.45 | PandaMechanicus | no I get what you're saying, but Hwachas phase out too |
| 20:52.20 | Imperios | And Korea is on par with Babylon in terms of tech I think |
| 20:52.54 | PandaMechanicus | Babylon has earlier start and faster scaling, late-game they end up similar |
| 20:53.11 | PandaMechanicus | so for the majority of the game Babylon will be ahead of them |
| 20:54.01 | Imperios | True |
| 20:55.14 | PandaMechanicus | this is of course Babylon's weakness, in that they can actually out-research their ability to build stuff, but with the walls and bowmen you can defend yourself for long enough to make up for it |
| 20:56.27 | Imperios | True |
| 20:56.42 | Imperios | Haven't played as Babylon myself, should try it |
| 20:57.00 | Imperios | I heard that Ethiopia is rather powerful in higher difficulty games |

| 20:57.45 | TheWolfieEmpire | *welcomes self* |

| 21:16.34 | Monet | Hello |
| 21:16.44 | Wormy_away | Well, physical realism in Maya is not easy |
| 21:17.16 | Wormy_away | Even a simple simulation of this is has taken me hours http://d32ogoqmya1dw8.cloudfront.net/images/NAGTWorkshops/sedimentary/images/formation_cross-beds.gif |
| 21:18.46 | Wormy_away | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz-mTQqesrU |
| 21:19.31 | Wormy_away | Part of the problem with Maya dyamics is that the physics simulation is built to be intuitive, and real physics is anything but. |
| 21:20.10 | Wormy_away | Still, thats where scripting and perseverance come in |
