Also, are those LPs not on LP archive? If so, why?

It's no spoiler to say that the ducks are not in the game, it's too far north for that, they're really rather regional to sartar/dragon pass.

You don't need archives, actually. It's just in permanent "ready to be archived" state like a lot of other threads because our benevolent and glorious code de-OHGODWHYRADIUMWHYDIDYOUDOTHIS-ers couldn't find another way to save threads from some hosed up legacy code they're stuck with from the early days of SA.

Honestly people should read that one first, because it adequately demonstrates why you do not gently caress with the ducks. But yeah, the insane unbroken chain of Heroquests was quite a sight to behold.

They had numerous and powerful friends. They had these friends because they lived virtuous lives, were generous with their crops, and had some of the most powerful Humakti warriors the world has ever seen. When they faced hardship, Orlanthi and Centaurs and Trolls and stranger things beside would show up to repay their debts.

Real stupid looking, though. Have you ever seen a duck try to get something off a shelf? Just keep taking their stuff and putting it on slightly higher surfaces, and you've got an evening's entertainment.

Seventeen Banner Camp, when wise Relandar advised Khorlavus how to ally the bird riders.

Ever since, men and women of our clan have been noted for their diplomacy.



Umath's son Orlanth led a conspiracy of rebel gods against Emperor Yelm. Armed with the new power of Death, he slew Yelm, sending his light to the Underworld.

When the sun fell from the sky, the empire fell apart. Smaller suns lit the world in Yelm's place. Darkness and Sea gods became a threat, but the Storm god Orlanth and his violent allies dominated.

What was the worst danger your ancestors faced at this time?

- Trolls fled the Underworld to the surface darkness. Always hungry, they tried to devour our herds.
- A great flood drowned the Empire. We helped Anaxial the Sailor build a great ship to save civilization.
- The War of Many Suns, when pretenders to the solar throne fought to assert control over our Golden City, Nivorah.
- The Ram People marched on the Empire, razing the city of Elempur. We helped the Emperor avenge it.
- When the City of Chimes wanted to surrender to the Scorpion Queen, we gave them heart.
- Our worst danger came later.


If you select "later", it (in our first migration, after another vote or two) offers four more options - so if you vote for "later", please also specify which later enemy.

If later: Which of these proved to be your worst enemy?

- The Plant Folk, also called elves.
- The Stone Folk, also called dwarves.
- The Ram People, followers of the demigod Vingkot, son of the storm god Orlanth.
- The Night Men, also called trolls.


Later-trolls and earlier-trolls will be added together for vote purposes, later-Rams and earlier-Rams will be added together, but if you wish to vote for the later version please specify that. It may have under-the-hood impacts.

We will fight better against our chosen enemy, our ancestors will expect us to beat on our chosen enemy when given the chance, and our chosen enemy may be more ill-disposed towards us.

For what it's worth, the tutorial tells us that choosing rams makes the game noticeably harder. Figure it's okay to repeat what the tutorial says about the choices

I think that's fine. I think leaving it spoiler-tagged is good.

Same way I spoiler tagged the mechanics behind the God Event so that people who just wanted to choose for flavor could do so.

I hate to abandon the immortal wisdom of the great sage Fedarkos, but I'm going to say the Scorpion Queen sounds like bad news.

Also, having played but not beaten the game, there will be plenty of Ram fighting regardless . The Orlanthi are assholes

After you make your choice, the game lets you know what, generally speaking, you'll be getting your bonuses and expectations against. Here's what the more opaque options let / make you fight:

Scorpion Queen: Chaos
Flood: the forces of Water and their human worshippers
War of Many Suns: Dara Happans, particularly Alkoth


edit: I left something of some potential importance out.

All of the Great Enemies can be expected to show up to various degrees. Some of them aren't necessarily particularly hostile if you don't pick them as enemies and don't harass them in game, though.
