Read around that I just need to ignore the warning and play, but the bugger selects a different ruleset when the warning pops up and I cant play the bloody mod. I half remember from years ago being able to accept these and just move on to the mod but it aint doing that now.

Is there something I can do or nah? Main reason I redownloaded Unciv was to play Alpha Frontier (and DeCiv). All other mods are working fine.

Most settings have the north be the savage, frozen hellscape instead, I assume because most people live in the Northern Hemisphere and so when they want cold they need to go north. Instead these things have the South being cold.

1. Southern Water tribe, they live in their worlds Antarctica essentially, its very cold and not a lot of people, they are also far less developed than their far Northern cousins, who also live in similar conditions but have an actual city and way more people. (Avatar the Last Airbender)
2. Antarctica, its very cold and not many people live there, and less people live close to the south pole than the north pole I believe. (IRL)
3. Rimworld world generation, go far enough south and it gets very cold and harder to live in, though thats also true for the far north. (Rimworld)
4. South Island/Te Waipounamu, and other more southern New Zealand Islands, its cold down there, and there are less people. Pre colonisation the people down there were hunter gatherers unlike the farming North Island/Te Ika a Maui because it was too cold for the crops. (IRL)

What happened is, both the Barons and Farfield rose up at the same time splitting up New Canaan's attention.

And then a bunch of raider nations across the map decided to join in, White Legs (me) on Farfield and the Barons.

Then the Iron Alliance, Desperados and those Area 51/Aircraft raiders sent volunteers to the Barons, and the Desperados sent more volunteers to Farfield, ended up overwhelming New Canaan.

(I assume those volunteers from the Desperados and the Aircraft raiders is from a submod I have, dont remember ever seeing them send any volunteers before while playing base OWB)

(These are all concept art from the games, first 3 seem like things that ended up not being implemented, 4th looks like a mirelurk variant, the 3 after him might have been cut? or could be Super Mutants, then another mirelurk. "Bloodman" is from Fallout 1 so maybe an early Ghoul concept? or just scrapped, and Ghost People at the end)

Just feel like sapient mutants have been underutilised by Fallout. I love Slags, love Super Mutants, love Swamp Folk, love Lobotomites and love Ghost People, and want more stuff like them. Especially ones where there is at least one is friendly, felt really disappointed when I found out all Swamp Folk were hostile.

I want them to look gross, mild body horror even, just find it fun, especially so if the gross looking fella is also a chill guy.

And I would extra love it if they were fully Wasteland made, no FEV or Enclave/Institute/Pre-war government stuff. Just some random eradiated/polluted region through pure chance making/twisting a whole new type of people out in the wastes. Like Trogs, Slags, or Wildmen. The wastes can make gross animal monsters all the time why not people monsters too.

Also just feel like Super Mutants are being overused, despite my love for them, they should very much still be in the game (Just would not feel Fallout without them personally). But instead of them being the main, asshole mutant faction around, its some new faction of asshole mutants. More variety in the sapient horrors Fallout has.

Yeah, just, my random thoughts on this idk.

I fucking hate this show, entirely for personal taste reasons, it just does a lot of stuff I hate in fiction, and I very much dislike its comedy.

Heavily dislike the comedy, find the hype and aura moments boring, find the characters uninteresting and annoying, and dislike how casual and unimportant the death of people (or well the robot guys) is treated.

Also pacing was weird and disorientating, everything far too fast for me.

Has made me cautious to watch more Glitch shows anytime they make a new one because I cannot at all risk seeing anything similar to Murder Drones again.

Last stands that end up with the defenders loosing, can be heroic, villainous or neutral last stands. Does not need to be a sad or badass.

1. This lose ending to the game, where your clans main fortress gets invaded by a massive Chaos (Evil Gods) army and kill you all, is very badass and kind of sad. (Six Ages Lights Going Out)

there are two versions of this ending, the Good Bad End and the Bad Bad End.

Good Bad: You kill much of the evil army, giving other societies the chance to survive longer/save the world, and are remembered.

Bad Bad End: you get killed easily and get forgotten.

2. Te Whekes last stand, where the antagonist Te Wheke and his rebels are crushed by government forces, ending the rebellion, mid last stand, was more of a slaughter than a battle (Utu)

3. The siege of Orakau, the last (major) battle of the NZ governments invasion of the Waikato region and indigenous Maori King Movement lands, ended in defeat for the Maori King Movement. Though the King Movement itself continued existing as an independent state on a anti-governments tribes land for a few decades after. (IRL historical, the photo is of Maori/rebel veterans of the battle)

4. Karls last stand, central part of the Shek peoples faith, some guy named Karl died in a battle against 100 people ages ago and now Shek seek to gain a similar death, so they can enter the good after life. (Kenshi)

5. Battle of Thermopylae, probably the most famous last stand ever, 300 Spartans and thousands of other Greeks stood against tens of thousands/hundreds of thousands of Persian troops. (IRL historical, art by John Steeple Davis)

I know that because of FEV you cant really tell what a Super Mutants original gender was, its probably a 50/50 split but seeing as most are hostile we cant really ask. But im wondering if there are anymore besides these two that we know were confirmed to be women.

Looking online I mostly found people asking if there were female Super Mutants, or Super Mutant porn (usually shitty porn too, making them look all human)

NOT SAYING CANNIBALISM IS OKAY, THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF THIS POST.

Fuck I hate this idea so much, there are so many people who have this idea that, cannibalism was some kind of universal taboo, that there was no point in history where cannibalism was ever considered morally okay and common. Which is just completely false.

Yes, lying about cannibalism among indigenous populations was used by Europeans to justify their colonisation of many Indigenous people across the world. But that does not disprove the fact that real cannibal societies did exist across the world is various forms. And its not only Europeans who have accounts of cannibalism, ask any old Maori fulla and they will have heaps of cannibal stories from their tribe. Moriori also have stories about the cannibalism they suffered at the hands of their Ngati Mutunga and Ngati Tama invaders. (Europeans also practiced a form of accepted cannibalism, the eating of mummies for medical reasons)

I also just dont understand their reasoning (as in, I do not understand how people think it has always been a universal taboo and how it could never have been done by a human society), its not like cannibalism is unnatural, or unheard of in other species, its quite common for some animals partake in cannibalism. And compared to other cruel things human do and have done, cannibalism is not too horrible.

Slavery, rape, genocide, crucifixions, civilian murder, various war crimes, dehumanisation of a group of people, most torture methods, mass shootings, skinning people alive. All horrible things we all agree happen and are not out of the possibility for humans to do. But somehow cannibalism is too far?

Bloody stupid, at worst cannibalism is dehumanisation, murder and corpse desecration, all very common practices even to today. I simply do not understand how people can think cannibalism was never done, yeah its horrible but humans have done and do horrible things all the bloody time.

I also just, hate it when people lie about or spread misinformation about history in general.

This post is not at all talking about the morality of cannibalism at all. Not a single line of this post is meant to be talking about the morality of cannibalism.

what I mean to say is that its odd how people can accept, historically, that crimes equally as bad as cannibalism took place. But cannot accept that cannibalism was also practiced.

1. Davy Jones, originally a human, who got transformed into this human-part sea creature, like the rest of his crew. Because he broke his vow to take care of the souls of the dead and so got cursed I believe. (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest)

2. Walktapus, Chaos (evil Gods) creatures who are part humanoid, part octopus and part other sea creatures. They can also regenerative themselves and need to be killed with fire to fully end them. They eat humans and spirits. (Six Ages Lights Going Out)

3. Mind Flayer, sapient creatures who eat brains, and reproduce by infecting creatures, those creatures eventually turning into more Mind Flayers. (DnD)

4. Vilgax, intergalactic evil alien warlord. (Ben 10)

5. Cthulhu, an eldritch God, in this art hes a humanoid anyways. (H. P. Lovecraft)

Doesnt need to be, the literal only nice group, most other groups in the setting just need to suck.

1. Weeders, a chill river dwelling primitive people, primitive by even the standards of its Bronze Age world. They dont raid people they dont attack people unprovoked and will commonly give gifts to people in need, usually involving food or magic. Meanwhile every other peoples and tribes are only out for themselves, petty and mean, and very racist. (Six Ages Lights Going Out)

Like even during the end of the world while the world is actively dying and everyone is starving, the Weeders will still gift you dried fish if you are in need. And everyone in-universe are so racist to them anyways, degrade, raid, harass and steal from them yet the Weeders remain chill. (Six Ages Lights Going Out)

2. Nomads, a chill people who just wander around, selling animals, usually goats. They mind their business, wont harass or attack you, and will heal the player/wounded people they find. One of the few factions in Kenshi who arent in some way a bunch of dickheads. (Kenshi)

3. Followers of the Apocalypse, a group of humanitarians and scientists whose goal is preserving knowledge, spreading this knowledge to the world and trying to make the post apocalyptic world a better place. They are chill and nice. (Fallout 1 and New Vegas)

Unlike most other Fallout factions, who are bastards or only interested in helping themselves.

4. Ruminators, a faction who likes peace, co-operation and making people happy, just nice folk who want to help people. Unlike most other factions. (Old World Blues mod for Hoi4)

1. Centaurs, humans or animals infected with FEV, its meant to create big, muscled green humanoids with human intelligence, but sometimes FEV turns them into these things. Made up of several humans or animals, and I believe they are not sapient? though not sure. (Fallout)
2. Tyramites, Tyramites are worshipers of an evil God who got his body shattered, and then reformed but all mismatched with limbs and body parts in random areas. So his cultists try to copy their Gods appearance by also turning into mismatched things. So, this is a rare one where the process and outcome is consensual and desired. (Six Ages Lights Going Out)
3. Muir, a human who got turned into this, abomination of flesh by, idk, some weird thing. (Still Wakes the Deep)
4. Armsy, humans turned into these, multi limped monsters because of some, eldritch alien thing. (The Forest)

I think its cool.

1. Sirens, a sapient fish-like humanoid species who have to consume human flesh, and have a human form, using it sometimes to assimilate into human communities. Their human disguise is perfect. (Weird West)

2. Hert, a vampire woman who pretends to be human, feeding on travellers along the road by her mill, her husband is also a vampire who does the same. This is also just a common thing vampires do across lots of the media they are in. (Skyrim)

3. Mime, humanoid beings who disguise themselves as humans, and may attempt to join your colony, the only way to tell they arent human is that Mimes have a far bigger hunger rate than normal humans. If they dont get enough food, they will discard their disguise and attack anyone around them. (Rimworld Alpha Animals mod)

Not really predatory to humans, they are more like parasites, but close enough.

4. Flora Albright, a secret Siren who works as a towns sheriff, and doesnt like the idea of hunting random innocent people, she only eats outlaws who she feels are fully evil. She also has a human husband, and maybe a half human half siren daughter? but idk if the daughter is biologically hers or not. (Weird West)
