The epicenter is just where the quake occurred, relative to the surface. The more important factor in quakes and their strength comes from depth. The physical location where the earthquake occurred in the subsurface is the hypocenter (which is some vertical offset from the epicenter). Shallow-focus quakes (hypocenter is near the surface) tend to be more damaging due to the energy being nearer the surface. Deeper ones CAN be very damaging, but the depth and distance the energy travels can lead to it largely being dissipated over the area involved.

Magnitude and strength absolutely play the lion's share of how the damage will unravel in a populated area, but a lot of it also boils down to the construction methods/materials being used in local buildings.

And with this, I believe Geop has put more thought into the concept of earth quakes than the game developers ever did.

Nah, that dog is clearly a hero like Ray is clearly a hero. Also I was trying to get Panzer to have the dog be a corgi like her fat loaf of a dog but apparently her dog is never that helpful (unless helping involves farting or bringing over horribly mangled rawhides).


When my friends' dog bring over a rawhide bone, it is usually because he wants you to hold it while he gnaws on it, so in my experience, bringing rawhide is a hint that the dog wants you to help him.

This is awesome and all but it's bugging me that the chorus is in Ray's voice and the verses in one of the antagonists'. :saddowns:

It is obviously a duet. :colbert:
