@LoS: Thanks. ALOT of prep has gone into this!


If you wanna be an author, go ahead and give plot ideas!




Edit: Here's a rough regional map:

A flying creature you say? I could make one.

Also, school's out for me starting today, so I'll try to get some creatures done.

Oh, and i just skimmed through your descriptions of the different clans and I have to say it is awesome.

And another thing, I think I may redo the locations of the duos i have made so far, because you changed the map.

Oh, and another extra thing, we should start designing flora, because I want to be able to colour my creatures based on the colour of the environment around them.

How are we going to make the flora, Xeno... Its not like Spore has an efficient and operational Flora editing program... The one that is there is horribly ineffectual and inefficient.

I'll leave you guys to the creation of the Creatures and Flora, My spore creatures suck when I am not looking at an image of something.

Now I can make buildings, vehicles, and outfits, but that is about it...

You make plants out of buildings and sometimes creatures Alpha.
Ex:


My apologies for not owning up to my promise Dudeman by not producing some more aliens, I'll try to amend that very soon.

To anyone trying to make flying creatures my advice is either go on utube and find some videos showing you how to if you don't know how to. Or you can use templates made by other people.

Nice map, and looking at other maps and reading those descriptions, wouldn't war between Xen'Vi and Humans be Aztecs, Tlaxcallan and Tarascans versus Conquistadors? Except the Conquistadors have machine guns and flying space ships that can pound resistance into submission from an orbitting spacecraft?

Plants... Out of buildings? That is really out there people of Spore...

I tend to make Mynocks or Dragons when I make a Flying creature... *Shrug...*

Its the Copy Paste lines (Boxes)...

Well, now I know you know.

Well, there you go, make a Novusita version of a Mynock!

Realized it.

... I'll go Try I guess... BRB...

Edit.. Nope... Failed... I can't create using taxonomy rules, I just end up with blobs of death...

To tell the truth I ended up this time with a Sea Dragon/sucker fish/Flying thing...
I leave this to you creative folks...

Probably. But why would we decide to kill them all?

Oh wait, I just remembered. That's all humans are good at.

Well, Dudeman mentioned of hints of war between the "Metal Heads'' and Humans, and well, it would be like Conquistadors arm'ed with tanks and giant orbitting space craft capable of founding all resistance from the planet in complete saftey. Think about it, if aliens reached us right now they'd likeyl be so technologically advanced that we'd be screwed when they decided they wanted to use the planet's resources to continue their own species.

And there wouldn't be any Avatar scenes of giant dinolizards destroying humanoid body machines, there would be mass burnings and slashings to flush out all life forms and then eradicate them with the use of missiles.

There would be no resistance but from some happy go lucky human who doesn't like what they're doing, and gets reprimanded for it and sent back on to the mother ship where he's locked up for the rest of his life or euthanised since who knows what sort of society would result from thousands of years of independence from any central Human civilization, if there was one.

Shall I continue to rant?

Please do. I find it quite interesting.

Well, consider this, Humanity would be spread out through the stars constantly searching for new planets to strip of any material value to sustain their mother ships as they simply strive to continue their species existance. Depending on communication and governments they may form their own societies and factions, though combat or even meetings would likely be rare if none existent due to the vastness of space...

I should probably get to making that creation I promised....

Actually, the humans chosen to colonise Novusvita are mostly scientists and people who can contribute. They're mostly eco-friendly pacafists (save for the few soldiers in the colonies). More that does not bode well for Novusvitan humanity is the lack of any true weapons larger than a (200 years in the future) hunting rifle.

Hehe.

Hehe.

That's what I had originally thought.

But one would think that the scientists or soldiers would be well aware of the dangers of Sentients, even if they are pacifists, and arm themselves because of the dangers. If you told me to go live on some alien planet century from any help don't you think they'd arm themselves? Who knows what the hell the drones (they must have sent drones before hand to examine to planet, its basically a certianty) missed? Just watch Alien Planet, right there is what humans would do first.

But perhaps they don't have many weapons all the same, and since it seems (at least according the Alpha or what ever his real name is again ) that the atmosphere would be toxic to humans requiring them to wear at least masks and possibly full body suits, actually they'd be forced to because of another problem known as disease, humans are going to be susceptible to the alien viruses and bacteria and vice versa. In fact it would be Europeans and Native Americans all over again. And sterilization wouldn't work, even if impossibly the ship was sterile the humans would infect it upon immediate contact. And you can't sterilize a human with out killing it.

So that would be a major issue, the humans ma have a chance of saving themselves from any foreign bodies but the aliens would take heavy casualties from earth bacteria mostly likely, though I could be wrong. If you ever read The War of the Worlds, you know what I mean.

So perhaps the aliens would trouble to humans, and I'm assuming they are sort of in a Hellenistic-Roman time period so they should be able to produce a weapon to pierce the suit of some unlucky explorer. Another factor has to do with the Aztec, Tarascan, Chichimec struggles agianst the Spanish, many tribes are probably somewhat supressed by foreign rule (Good example, it looks like the Red empire is larger then a twenty mile radius so must have a number of cultures within it) and probably are really starting to get tired of suppression, either cultural, financial or political, they'll probably getting SPORE off.

So you'll have alliances to against larger nations, some aliens will look upon the Humans as gods or devils, who can really know what sort of reaction there would be. But my impression is that this is a religious, half barbaric, half civilized stage of a sentient race and therefor a very turmoiled and mixed up time for some pink things to fly down onto your planet.

Species Name: Gradiorous marsus [Walking / Sea Pig]

Native Name: Havgris, Upai

Human Nickname: N/A

Location:Gara'N and other surrounding seas near equator

Taxonomy: Life --> Imperia --> Dysmmetra --> Feracorda --> Duososisda --> Undabeastia --> Pridigitatum --> Gradiorous --> marsus

Habitat: Warm shallow lagoons and shorelines, generally close to ocean currents bringing rich water to the surface.

Appearance:

Will get whole photos sometime soon.

Diet: Liquivore, Imperiavore: Small plankton and sealife, oceanic liquiphites

Special Anatomy: Marsus, or Sea Pigs, are most notable for their highly modified lungs, which rise out of their body cavity and onto long stalks. The function of these lungs are to both directly absorb oxygen from the water but also to rise above the shallows to suck in through pores oxygen from the air. This duo system allows the Sea pig to dive into deeper waters for longer amounts of time. Also notable are that there are four lungs as opposed to the normal two, seemingly the gill slits were modified, first until the actually lungs were rendered useless and were adsorbed into nothingness, indications of this is during the plankton stage (more on that later) Sea Pigs have internal lungs that absorb oxygen from the water only, while the slits are simply long tubes, these grow into the adult form and the true lungs disappear during its plankton stage.

The Sea Pig Plankton Stage isn't really a plankton stage, not as Terran plankton is often known as, but instead the form embryonic stage of the Sea Pig. After mating the eggs develop for about 3-8 days, then they are released into the water, they hatch almost as soon as they hit open water. Each tiny three millimeter long Sea Pig is almost an exact replica of its parent but for a having lungs and lacking the external ones.

Within their first week most of the Sea Pigs will have formed the lungs though they are very weak, and still simply bring water to the internal lungs. But in three days of fully forming the external lungs will have eight times their original thickness and will have stopped pumping water to the internal lungs, which are now almost nonexistant having been absorbed by surrounding tissues. The pipeline to the stomach still exists and water derived of its oxygen is pumped out by means of it. The process from hatching takes anywhere from one and a half to three weeks and morphs the Sea Pig into a completely water dependent to near amphibious animal. Important since mating occurs in very shallow waters, or none at all.

Description/Uses/Other: The Sea Pig spends most of its life skipping over the sandy sea bottom sucking into their mouths liquiphites and plankton carried into the shallows by ocean currents, which the Sea Pigs spend their entire lives following as they weave through the tropical lagoons and estuaries.

They have few defenses but for very bitter flesh, and mostly depend on numbers to protect themselves from predators, along with currents and waves which can easily sweep and pound a jellious Sea Pig into a dead jellious Sea Pig. Sea Pigs are very weak swimmers and while they occasionally dive to up to 2o meters into deep water they are more at home in water that only reaches the tops of their external lungs and is calm.

Mating occurs just about when ever the opposite sex meet. Its conventional for any Duososida member and seasons have little effect due to the tropical climate. The resulting "Plankton" number in the hundreds, most will be eaten or killed in days of hatching. The ones that survive will spend their time eating liquiphites and once they grow in size larger plankton.

Sea Pigs are relatively unknown to most native populations, though a number island populations are known to occasionally hunt them or consider them a sacred animal, or both. Human explorers know little of them.
