It should require a large amount of energy. Let's think about it. Possessing an intelligent creature for long enough to teach everyone in the tribe about skinning animals -WITHOUT DAGGERS- and teaching them that if they leave it in the sun, it makes leather.

That is a point, it would likely cost less to influence a human one turn to skin something, and use the skin/fur for something like cloths. Then the next season influence for leather.

They have rocks (which they have some skill in useing i think), and other sharp tools, i think they would not have very much trouble skinning something. Nonethless, i tried to do it, and their isn't that much i can do about it. I guess doing a two season plan would be better.

And last season forsaken said it would be harder to control then a normal animal, but still not that hard. And plus, i just shut down his brain functions and control him, i don't think it would be that hard, especially without him fighting back.

It could kill him by accident, as we are new to this after all, and who knows what could happen if we die while in a human's body?

I think I'm going to appear before my tribe in physical form after the house of healing is built. Send a dream of when, where, and how I will look when I appear to my prophet, then appear. I'll give them the basis for stories, and thus eventually liturature, and some simple tools.

if nonan had the option of being creative with a small chance of failure, or being boring and unoriginal with none, then he would chose the boring option 9/10 times, since greater efficency means more profit and since he is the god of money, he will chose more profit. So i just trying to do what my god would do.
A key economic principle is risk/reward. Generally, the more the risk, the greater the reward.

Most appreciated indeed.

Also, Zergling, would you be interested in some form of alliance? The Zerg and Chaos have always gone hand-in-hand.

Not really, Zerg are more akin to the Tyranids.

I didn't say that the Zerg are the same as Chaos. I said that they go hand-in-hand.

Nope, im not in his body physically, just the same as you aren't in the body of a fish or a fox that you are controllling. It's just brain manipulation, if it was full possession then the body would be godlike (eg. faster and stronger).  If controlling him killed him by accident, then he would already be dead last season.

It should require a large amount of energy. Let's think about it. Possessing an intelligent creature for long enough to teach everyone in the tribe about skinning animals -WITHOUT DAGGERS- and teaching them that if they leave it in the sun, it makes leather.
sure its complex, but no more then making a fire that burns eternally with no fuel, or creating something out of nothing, or even more difficult then permanently changing something's behavior.


if nonan had the option of being creative with a small chance of failure, or being boring and unoriginal with none, then he would chose the boring option 9/10 times, since greater efficency means more profit and since he is the god of money, he will chose more profit. So i just trying to do what my god would do.

To some extent yes, but if you can chose to do something two ways, the riskier way, or the safe way, and both have the same result, and cost about as much time/energy/money, then a smart person will chose the safer way. In this case, sure, doing it another way might have cost a bit less energy (a dream), but it would have a much higher change of failing, since i want him to something pretty complex.

Perhaps.
If my tribe finds out, things could get a little weird, though.
