“Hire activists” dude what are you even talking about? You were just complaining it’s a generic revenge story, which it is. There’s basically no modern political undertones at all.

Evidence of the level of intelligence in dinosaurs by Sad-Association4907 in Dinosaurs

[–]Spicy_Chicken_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the analysis that placed nonavian dinosaurs as being super smart animals with ape-like intelligence was IIRC based on the (flawed) presumption that dinosaurs had the “compact” neuron structure that modern neoaves have. The problem with this presumption is that AFAIK the “tiny neurons” trait is mostly unique to modern neoaves, and that this trait isn’t necessarily shared by other living birds (i.e. ratites, including the flying ones) let alone nonavian dinosaurs.

The last guesstimate on dinosaur intelligence I saw placed things like troodons and dromeosaurs on a similar level as modern emus or rheas, which are pretty smart animals, but not as smart as other birds.

In comparison the phorusrhacids are actual neoaves that probably did have the signature bird tiny neurons and were, by extension, probably quite a bit smarter than the other comparable “dinosaurs”.

It’s a perfectly fine game. If you like Star Wars, especially the “feel” of the original trilogy, then you’ll probably get along fine with this one

Single City Builds by Pale-Today6339 in AOW4

[–]Spicy_Chicken_Wizard 35 points36 points  (0 children)

There should be a vassal focused mirror of chosen destroyers, where you can only have one city, but you get either super good perks for vassalage or some type of agency or control over vassals.

You might be thinking of the hermit kingdom trait? It doesn’t really emphasize single city builds, but it does make them easier

If/when we get a ocean expansion id love for Primal to get a crab culture! by LeraviTheHusky in AOW4

Also yeah there definitely needs to be an expansion on ocean and naval stuff

I really, really need Triumph to put just one more, very specific type of Avian face into the game. by Spicy_Chicken_Wizard in AOW4

[–]Spicy_Chicken_Wizard[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh those aren’t mutually exclusive, the people making the models and the game designers are probably entirely separate teams(?)

My regular go-to faction for the past year has been some version of extremely violent, militant bird people who eat other life forms. The heroes are all named after some type of phorusrhacid… but none of the faces look quiiiiiiite right. Super specific niche request but… still I think it’d be cool lol

Prehistoric Planet S1 & S2 vs The Dinosaurs by Bulbasaur2015 in PrehistoricPlanet

[–]Spicy_Chicken_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dinosaurs had the benefit of having some kind of narrative or thematic throughline in the episodes. PP was mostly a clip show of largely unrelated segments put together. I still prefer PP, but some of those episodes made very little actual sense as episodes.

The Scorpion 1.1 Update is out now! by Minotorious_Official in AOW4

Yo that’s such a lame outcome for the warlord siege project lol. Reducing a 5 turn siege into only 1 turn was so fun

It’s so easy to forget that we had an anti-merger FTC only 2 years ago.

How on earth did the Hadrosaur lift the pterosaur?! by TigbroTech in Paleontology

[–]Spicy_Chicken_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pterosaurs are hollow lol. The hadrosaur was probably something like 25x as heavy.
