Nomads?!?!?!?!?!????!!!???
« on: April 19, 2012, 10:26:00 pm »

Today when I was playing in adventure mode I looked in the quest menu under entities and saw...

         "The Decent Systems"

Nomadic Group
Human           

              Respected for heroic acts

When were nomads added and what do we know about them, because there is nothing about them on the wiki.

Could just be a title. Or someone who wandered the wilds.

They could be bandits.

Some kind of Nomads wandering the wilds, doing heroic deeds?

I think that might be you, dude.

I just got myself attacked by a bandit group called The Calm Dinners and looked them up in the quest menu.  They were referred to as a nomadic group so all the nomadic groups could be bandits but that seems unlikely, if that was the case why not call the bandits.

Edit: "The Decent Systems" is a bandit gang as well but are all nomadic groups bandit gangs.

Because Toady always plans in advance. There may be no other kinds of nomads yet, but the framework isn't only meant for bandits.

Also, not sure but there may actually be one more kind of nomads. Y'know, when a site is destroyed and survivors flee into the wilderness, becoming refugees? On the other hand, maybe not, since they do not cease to be members of their original civ.
