But I made Elves this time.

And Dwarves disguised as Elves.

Two words: Elder Scrolls.

[Rolepgeek]

Oh, FArg?

Here ya go.

[IcyTea31]

....
How
is
that
a
thing
already?

It happens. I, too, thought my first idea for a race was original. Then I realized they were basically Tyranids. So I came up with the Haunts: not very remarkably creative, but also nothing I've seen in media.

Nope, those the Dwemer are elves disguised as dwarves.

Have you red the description of his "Deep Elves"? They are pretty much Dwemer. His "Dwarves" are almost the same as them.

Don't worry about it. Starcraft had the exact same problem.

[Vgray]

I admit nothing. 

It could've been worse. There could've been a third green skinned race of Elf-kin.

[Rolepgeek]

It's just from Norse mythology, in the end, really. Dark Elves, Deep Elves, Dwarves, whatever you want to call them.

The Puren are fairly dwarfish as well, if you think about it. Which is kinda funny since me and Vgray were thinking of being allies or at least we're both eventually gonna be imperialistic, and we ended up making very similar structures for our races.

But they did it so much better, that GW copied zerg all over their nids 2nd edition. Just do as well and all will work out.

I think I must've had them in mind. Them and the Aag from Litany.

[FArgHalfnr]

Oh, FArg?

Here ya go.

Thanks! Gonna add them as soon as I can.

Edit: Done

[Rolepgeek]

Oh, yeah, and when I actually made them I ended up adding [Intelligence+1] to the Zhǎngzǐ. Forgot about that when I made the link, sorry. Faithful is actually called Pious, apparently, and Exceptional was replaced by Unique.

I think I'll probably make my Enforcers somewhat cheaper...they're police forces, not special forces, after all. Maybe not. Maybe super-police is a good idea, since I won't need as many of them, and it's better if they're effective.

What size would you guys say is a good size for soldiers, do you think? Size+2? I mean, my big war machines are probably gonna be like Size+6, but you know.

So in that update between Tick 1 and 3, KJP mentioned some teleportation-tech Rule had. Does it actually have that?

[Happy Demon]

I think the Skarati are a bit ridiculously good.
They can heal the wounded and cure the sick and poisoned.

I don't think their lacking of charisma will hinder them so much, considering they can heal the sick, saving them from a painful death of the diseases being spread around.

I have no idea. I have to spend essence for a gate/portals, and that's how I'd like to have most travel and trade between the worlds go (mmm delicious tariffs), so I didn't think so, but I honestly have no idea. What he might have meant is that since I'm close to all three worlds and can communicate with my followers directly and do so basically all the time, that technology can traverse worlds easily that way.

[Rolepgeek]

So...Happy Demon...that's how he normally speaks (and if you want to talk about speaking like a civilized person with the god of Civilization...well...). I don't want to have him talking 'normally' because it feels like it breaks character. If Si is having trouble understanding him, another god can translate for her, most likely. If she asks Zhin to clarify, he could probably try and answer with a series of explications. If you, the player, are having trouble understanding, I can give you an explanation of what he's saying in the OOC.

But the Rod of Speaking just feels...I don't wanna say rude, but sorta? It feels like it's saying 'I can't be bothered to try and sort out your character's speech quirk, so just stop having them speak that way'. And if you're low on time or whatever, that's a perfectly legitimate thing to not have the time or mental energy to do. I have Zhin speak less often than I might otherwise because translating into his speak can be time consuming, especially since I'm trying to be consistent with syntax so people don't get more confused than they otherwise might. But if that's the case, just ask me OOC, please.

Also, because when I have a character speak normally, I inevitably end up talking just like how I do/would, and when I'm trying to go for a style/manner of speaking befitting their character, I end up getting annoyed. Happened with Darruth in the last game, too. >.> So that's partially selfish on my part, but still.

If you do need an OOC explanation: he's saying that he can protect the Skizani and Skarati and your other creations if they live in Rule, since he has so much power/control within himself, and they would be safer and happier there, and that it's just like with all races being welcome so long as they work for their keep (no slumming/mooching, basically), show respect both in the sense of being respectful to the city and devoting some small portion of time to praise of the city, and tthey behave themselves.

[Happy Demon]

How about this? The rod doesn't work.
Because he's a machine.

Oh, and it's not because I don't want to sort, but because Si just doesn't understand.

Edit: Oh, and I've written assembly, your syntax is nothing in comparison.
Edit 2: But I will say I didn't know he was speaking to Si at first.
