...I still can't decide on a final avatar.

[Joe Joerson]

Well good luck in your search. I am likely going to stick with mine for as long as feasible.

[Caspoi]

By the way I have been thinking about reviving my old Khendros Empire as a sort of prolouge to the old paradox forums roleplay. Do you have any thought's about that?

[Vagrant Hero]

There are multiple ways to go about that. You could make them be a stagnant ascendancy, with lots of former territory that people, like the Yuxun, could find. Could also just add them as a dead race, again with a focus on discovery. Etc.

[Caspoi]

I was thinking of more along the lines of Before they got their great empire, while they were still a Young species on the galactic playfield.

[The Clans]

Plantoids are about to be a thing.

[Caspoi]

What?

[Joe Joerson]

[Caspoi]

Thank you. I did not see it on the forums.

[Joe Joerson]

Paradox Development Studio will soon release the first Species Pack for its hit science fiction strategy game, Stellaris. Species Packs will give players new phenotypes to play with as they expand across the galaxy.

This first species pack will be called Plantoids, and, as its name suggests, will introduce sentient plant life to the universe of Stellaris. Instead of becoming salad or animal fodder, these plants have reached for the stars and begun to spread their tendrils across the galaxy, planting the roots of new civilizations on new planets.

Our talented artists have put together fifteen new portraits, an original cityscape backdrop, and stunning new ship models for your new neighbors.​

Just about all info we have right now I think, find source of quote here.

Floran sssstab.

[Joe Joerson]

Oh look, it's a Floran sympathizer.

                                 

[The Clans]

Well, my friend is a Floran, sooo...

[Caspoi]

Do you have any opinions regarding Khendros?

[Joe Joerson]

Do you have any opinions regarding Khendros?

Considering the fact that you already have two empire I might hold off though I don't think anyone would stop you. It is simply that it might be hard to have each have the same depth as each other and other empires.

It might be harder if you have to have negotiations between the empires. Currently your setup works because the swarms and the Nakturans have little overlap in terms of diplomacy and actual existence. However the Khendros and the Nakturans would be much more problematic to have diplomacy with each other and the greater galactic community.

Well, my friend is a Floran, sooo...

...sooo you are Floran sympathizer.

[Caspoi]

Spoiler, I intend for the Nakturans to be conquered by the Khendros in a not too distant future if they actually get into play. This way I keep the amount of empires at two (and the Swarms will probably lay low for a while anyway as soon as they have finished their reconquest war so as to lick their wounds).

[Joe Joerson]

Alright then I wasn't going to stop you either way unless you tried to railroad something, it would certainly be interesting to see how the Khendros plan to rule over the Nakturans, especially with the radically different climates.

The Swarms may want to lay low, but they might still be in danger, will have to see how it plays out.

[Caspoi]

Indeed, the Nakturians, who value physical prowess above all would probably not respect the Axtromd, who are not all that impressive on such a front. You do race good Points however, ones that together with the fact that I have already used the Khendros before I have told myself, which makes me doubtful of my endavour.

Also I have not yet figured out how the Khendris are to annex the Nakturans, the ideal would of course be peacefully but the Nakturan hiarchy dictate that only the best of warriors are allowed to lead them and as I already said most axtromd leaders would loose badly against a Nakturian in any duel which is not set in an arena with a thousand metres witht and both sides equipped with sniper rifles. The alternative is war and while the Khendros are certainly imperialist they still have a clear concept of Casus Belli, meaning that the Nakturans need to provoke them, not something I see them duing in the nearest future. Finally it is the slight matter of actually winning any war they get involved in as they would start of with too small a population to engage in a full scale land invasion and while they could of course simply bombard the enemy from space that would be an extremely wasteful solution for both sides and not so much the Khendros conquering the Nakturans as much as annihalating them. Recomended course of action?

[The Clans]

Recommended course of action is to roleplay instead of writing semi-collaborative fanfiction.

[Caspoi]

That is not about which I questioned, I wonder if it would be a good idea or not to include Khendros. They are my favourite and most well developed faction after all.


Also I do roleplay.

[Caspoi]

By the way you have not done much with the space amazons in a while, why?

[The Clans]

So far the bulk of what you've done is the Swarm's unification wars without any outside involvement. All stuff that could be included in the empire sheet within a few paragraphs. And you're talking about bringing another empire in to cannibalize your second empire and, presumably do the same thing you've been doing with the swarm: mostly post in a vacuum and only include other people in events of either no impact or little impact. That's why I called it semi-collaborative fanfiction (even though fiction works now that I think about it), because it's mostly been you writing to yourself.

As for the birds, there's no point in them attempting to contact the swarm if nothing tries to contact back, or for the war thread to be paused. Their function as an empire is to flood warzones and disrupt economies through trade, if the war continues to advance a month for every real life day, what's the point in bothering?

[Joe Joerson]

I'm just glad that around 41.5% of posts in the Brave New World sub forum are in this one discussion thread.

[Vagrant Hero]

The discussion thread is good. It gives people something to talk about, engage with the other forum members in a casual setting, tell some jokes. Basically, even more fun. Should've done this earlier.

Roleplaying? On Joe's Stellaris Roleplay Forum? Absurd!

First and foremost I had already established that the Swarms were new to have gotten their warp engines and as such could not have been united beforehand. Second I hardly think that me Writing about that war is making people write less to one another on this forum, on the contrary, and this gives me something to do when the Swarms are not engaged in "diplomacy" with others. Third They did approach your traders, that is my point when the ship came they dispatched some of their own to it yet now it seems as if it has ceased to exist. And we have all written texts that were not "directed" towards anyone else but simply a way to establish the situation in our empires. Fourth it was just as stray thought and I doubt that I am going through with it, or even establish the Khendros empire in the first place. Fifth all we are doing here should be considered fanfiction as it is what we are writing: fanfiction about Stellaris. And the Khenros were to be included because they could allow me to take a much more Active stance in galactic politics than the Swarms (that much should be obvious if you know anything about them).

Apparently it is absurd, if the numbers are anything to go by.

[Caspoi]

What just happened? It seems as if suddenly no one is posting any more.

[Vagrant Hero]

People have no doubt been busy, like I have been.

[Joe Joerson]

Well, in any case, people please do check in every once in a while so that everyone can know a forum member has suddenly died. (You know it is impossible that they might have just left. )
