In my opinion one of the greatest aspects of the clone wars is that in the end they were all meaningless. All the battles, all the victories, losses, character deaths, dead clones and droids, dead Jedi, dead separatists, worlds lost and gained on both sides meant nothing in the end. Neither side really meant anything in the end, all they did was pave the way for one of the worst empires in galactic history and feed the ego of one man. Every single time we saw our “heroes” lead their clone armies against the droids all that would truly happen would be people suffering so that both sides would gain nothing and both not exist in a few years. While the episodes often showed the action, heroism, romance, and glory of war, the series showed the meaninglessness of most wars, how it accomplishes nothing in the end, how it churns money and material into nothing, how all it creates is suffering on both sides, and how in just a short time it will mean very little if nothing. Sorry if I came off too philosophical or “I am 12 and this is deep” back there it’s just that I was watching the show and it dawned on me that all the fight meant nothing, that the front line and even factions wouldn’t exist in like a year or two, and that all the sacrifice, killing, and fighting was for nothing. I just wanted to share my thoughts and get everyone else’s opinions on it :)

Creeper holes should have a higher chance of spawning more creepers if they are not filled in. Just a random idea I had but I think that as a basic concept it’s got some merit and could not only encourage people to fill in most of the holes but could also add to creeper lore, giving an extra reason for why they explode. Edit: as a clarification you would be able to tell what blocks were affects (maybe grass become infested grass, or a layer of creeper moss covers the blocks like snow), the creeper spawns would also not be turned up by a lot, just enough to be annoying or even useful if you want to start a farm.

Ok so here is how I would improve villagers in minecraft. First we would have multiple levels of villages from level 0 being a starting village with it being just tents and some basic work spaces, the next is finished but pretty small and having crappy pre 1.14 village homes, the next looks a lot like what we have now, the next being bigger, while the biggest being a town having dozens to a hundred villagers maybe two in very very rare cases. Said towns sometimes having a small castle with a villager king, it is very rare for a village to get past level 3 as they are often overrun by monsters in the early days or illagers will wipe them out in the later stages (I have my own ideas for how to improve illagers but for now just know that they monitor villages and raid them if they get to big).

monsters will attack regularly with zombie invasions happening once in a while, with larger villages being able to fend them off while illager’s will calculate when the village has gotten too big for their liking and will raid and wipe it out (but they make sure to not wipe out any new villages, they also make sure villages can’t contact each other or trade outside of the occasional wandering trader).

Villagers now no longer spontaneously generate and trade emeralds and other trades instead all the villagers will start out with random amounts of emeralds, food, books, materials and other items which they will trade for each other. For example the farmer will farm his wheat then craft said wheat into bread and then go to his stall in the market to sell said bread to other villagers who will give him emeralds for the appropriate amounts of bread, the farmer will then go home and put all his emeralds and other items in his chest and hang out with the other villagers in his home before sleeping. A miner villager will go down into the village mines where he will “mine” and come up with mostly coal and iron with the very rare diamond and or emerald and trade said materials too other villagers at the market primarily the black smith. The black smith will take the iron and coal and craft it into tools, armour and weapons and sell those or he’ll craft iron blocks once in a while and sell them to the golemancer villager who very rarely will build a new golem. The lumberjack will go into the woods and chop down and plant trees and sell wood and other wood related items, the butcher will buy wheat from the farmer to feed his animals before leading them to his butcher shop and killing them and selling the meat, and so on and so on.

No new materials are created out of nothing they need to harvest and craft the materials themselves, they are still able to trade with you but they can only trade what they have. There will also be a builder villager who will spend days or even weeks slowly gathering materials before very rarely building a new villager structure allowing the village to grow on its own, the cartographer villager will go out once in a while and map out the area or might trade with the wandering trader to get a map to a unique structure. some more villager types that exist are fletchers, Shepards, bakers, armorers, black smiths, clerics, librarians, and more. Villagers will have their own beds and homes and will not change them unless destroyed, they will also not like you stealing their stuff and will thus raise their prices if they catch you stealing or even call the golems on you if you do it too much and might even have a jail waiting for you.

There will also be a villager mayor who will lead the village and will effect how the village acts (there are like 3 to 4 types of mayor with each one just getting the village to focus on a different thing like one type might focus on maximizing farming and mining, or expansion, or sending out expeditions to found new villages) each mayor lives in a special house near the center of their own village and each type will interact with the player slightly differently and might even trade emeralds for jobs such as killing mobs or building new homes, general things that help the village, they will also collect a small tax from the villagers to pay you, the builders, the golem maker, and other village projects.

On very very rare occasions a well off enough village will send out a small group of villagers with supplies and a golem to found a new village hundreds of blocks away. And while I know this idea is “a bit much” and many probably won’t like it, it’s just my personal thoughts and ideas for a cool way villagers one of my favourite parts of the game could be improved. I’d also love to hear everybody’s thoughts and how the idea could be made even better. Also sorry for any grammar mistakes I make a lot of them, please be nice :)

Hey so I’m working on a fantasy story where the main villain is this cosmic horror entity that was once a mostly regular person but is now an evil Lovecraftian entity who exists in an artificial semi universe at some of the highest levels of reality, beyond almost all time, space, matter, reality etc. He/it projects a physical avatar to interact with lower levels of reality such as our own with various things allowing him to “exist more” here and allow his avatar/appendage to become more “accurate” to how he actually is. And basically I am running into the issue of how I write an entity/character who is not bound by time, who experiences the past, present, future and more simultaneously, how does he manage to ever be surprised or out planned etc. although I have come to the conclusion that while in truth due to him now being a Lovecraftian entity with thought processes far beyond anything we could even begin to ever understand, what ever personality he/his avatar shows is simply one chosen to most accurately represent his own personality even if massively simplified and seemingly contradictory from our/the character’s POV.

Hey so I know that it’s a gameplay mechanic but I am curious why the Zerg need structures like the hyralisk den, ulralisk cavern etc. to make said units. Like I get that the explanation is that those structures are used for the storage of genetic material but shouldn’t the hivemind which is a collection of all Zerg knowledge and their will be able to store all the data in basically the cloud and be able to fabricate it on the spot, and if they need to store it why would they need specialized buildings for each of them, DNA doesn’t take up much space and you can basically fit all the DNA of every Zerg unit in some container the size of a golf ball in the hive and just implement the needed DNA into the larva. I am building a Zerg inspired species for a sci-fi universe and would like some help in answering this question so I have a relatively scientific solution for why I can have more bio structures other than just hive, defences, and biological solar panels.

Hey everyone, First time posting so sorry if I’m doing something wrong. Basically I am building a universe that has a few sci fi galaxies in it and I need help building one race. They are called the Krythar (not their actual name just what we call them) and they are basically an alien species from a higher level of reality (not a different universe, another layer of our own). Throughout the history of humanity and a few other species they have manipulated things here and there so that we produce a specific cognitive pattern that they harvest. We don’t know what it is (could be pain, joy, or something so niche that we don’t even know it exists, point is we don’t know) and we don’t even know what they use it for. Recently in roughly the 22nd century they have begun small often random incursions where they take over worlds and twist them into near incomprehensible things. They then harvest the whole population and put them in these large devices to harvest said cognition. We don’t know why they all of a sudden started invading but they have (maybe recent tech developments allowed for them to harvest the cognition directly or we aren’t producing the cognition in high enough quantities any more). They exist in 4 spatial dimensions and 2 temporal dimensions instead of our 3 spatial dimensions and 1 temporal dimension, meaning they can basically move sideways in time. Their ships are these insane massive 4 Dimensional ships that are constantly folding in and out of themselves and technically having the infinite 3 dimensional volume due to being 4D. Anyways I would like some help in figuring out how one could fight them and how I could make them more interesting and flesh them out a bit more while keeping them as mysterious cosmic horrors.
