Talk:Human Evolution (Map Game)

Evolution
so Humans in this one haven't even yet evolved the capability to stand up-right, correct?--DaBigUn 17:37, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

I think its the various races of man before homo sapien killed or interbred the rest into extinction. Neandethal, Cro-Magnon, etc.

well the reason why, is cause there are so MANY off shots at different points in time. for instance the Neandethal where an off shoot of only a couple hundred thousand years old (they evolved in the norther climates during the Ice age) because pre-man had to get there BEFORE to make the evolutionary change happen. REGARDLESS, this promises to be a fun one.--DaBigUn 18:30, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Im starting 2.3 MYA, when Homo Habilis evolved, so we are more then capable of running. Feel free to make some spicies return to the trees!Paaaad 18:42, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Speed up the timeline
Yeah, we need to increase the number of years in a turn or it's gonna get stale. 100, 000 years a turn and then slow it down as we progress. Opinions? Smallpox 03:37, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Go ahead!
Rules are complete! Go ahead and start!

Species Statistics
I thought hat maybe we could expand further on these species by filling out their statistics. Scientific Name: Homo Balticus
 * Name: Northern Poxian

Life Span: 20-25 years

Current population: 2, 000

Behavior: These primates live in small family units, they search for carcases and hunt with spears.

Appearance: A very large primate that walks on two legs, they have very large canine teeth and resemble a grizzly bear with the face of a gorilla.

Intelligence: Limited use of language and use of somewhat advanced tools allow these primates to capture pray more efficiently.

Strength: These creatures are strong enough in the jaws to rip through whale and seal meat with ease and their arms are powerful enough to fracture a most animals spines with ease, they could quite easily lynch an arm off of a modern human.

Top Speed: 10 mph

Life Span: 20-25 years
 * Name: Southern Poxian

Current population: 4, 000

Behaviour: These Primates live together in packs, much like modern lions and share their kills. The larger males take care of the young while females do most of the hunting.

Appearance: A very large primate that walks on two legs but can easily traverse on four legs as well at high speed, they have very large canine teeth and resemble a lion with the face and upper body of a gorilla.

Intelligence: Limited use of language and advanced pack and hunting tactics allow these primates to capture pray more efficiently.

Strength: These creatures are strong enough in the jaws to rip through whale and seal meat with ease and their arms are powerful enough to fracture a most animals spines with ease, they could quite easily lynch an arm off of a modern human.

Top Speed: 25 mph
 * Name: Formians

Scientific Name: Formicidae Sapiens

Life Span: Workers 10 years, Soldiers 15, Queen 20 King 30

Current population: 400,000

Behavior: these creature live in large hives built and maintained by the worker caste, and defended by the soldier caste. at the center of each hive is a group of 10-20 queens, each of whom produces about 10 eggs a week. governing the hive is a single king, who has a modicum of intelligence.

Appearance: workers are about the size of a large dog, with six legs, thick skin and vents for dispersing the fungi which provides them with sustenance. soldiers are about the size of horse, with 4 legs and two large claws, which are usually used for crushing. queen formians are approximately the size of an elephant, with six legs situated all around their roughly sphirical body. kings appear similar to soldiers, only bigger, and with larger brains. Speed It Up!

I think that the games is moving too slowly to be realistic, speed it up like at 100,000 years in one turn.

Life Span: approx. 30 years
 * Name: Mobians

Current population: 12,000

Behavior: This species lives in large tribal groups called "streaks" that have a strict heirarchy in place. They have started a culture that is simmilar to a fusion between OTL traditional Chinese culture and that of their more primitive ancestors. There are several castes in Mobian society. Though they get food from hunting, many streaks have begun cultivating plants for sustinance.

Appearance: The Mobians resemble a fusion between a South Chinese Tiger and a human being. They have cosmetic features of a Tiger such as the eyes, nose, ears, tail and fur. Their body structure is bipedal like a human's. A Mobian's hands look like a human's, except they have retracting claws. While a Mobian's arms are somewhat thinner, they have exceptionally powerful legs. This is a boon for the Mobian during hunts. They have also excellant night vision, which allows them to hunt at night just as well as in the day.


 * Name: Fedeledi (H. Sapiens Mediterraneus)

Life Span: approx. 42 years

Current Population: 220,000

Behaviour: The species lives on large comunities, either on stick cities or on nomad communities. They have a culture similar to OTL Italian and Greek European, only that much more primitive.

Appearance: The Fedeledi are extremely large creatures similar to humans, yellow eyes, titanic heads and big and rather disproporcionate heads, similar to OTL Olaf Stapledon's Fifth Men on Last and First Men.

Inteligence: Comparatively high. Big brains and bones are the cause of the large bodies

Strenght: Enough to break bones with hands (with some difficulties).

Chromosomes: Highly dominant

Why none for the ones I put up :( --DaBigUn 05:21, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, a little ambitious, are we? Azecreth 18:03, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

by the post, I guess; it had been almost 70,000 years for them and with them being more about groups they would have evolved (non genetically) a lot. Sorry if I went a little overboard.BUT they would use a mappeing system by now considering they are sea dwellers and ofter go in open ocean with their neats (or at least far enough not to see land)......I we admit, the goverment thing is a little to much, so you guys can go ahead an erase that, or at least modefy it to make since (large tribal council would be possible).--DaBigUn 18:12, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Technology
I know these are completely different species and all, but really, developing steelworking 2 million years early?Oerwinde 09:43, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Yesh... I've got a plan however. I CALL 2.1 MYA!!! Paaaad 14:42, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

The Mobians have still have only iron. They haven't made the leap to steel yet.

Yankovic270 15:42, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, ironworking, The earliest evidence of which are from 5000BC. Still more than 2 million years early. I know this one is supposed to be wildly implausible, I'm just stuck in plausible mode from the other map games.Oerwinde 16:24, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

This is basically a world where anything can happen. A world where refrences to Halo (the Covenant) and Sonic the Hedgehog (the Mobians) coexist alongside werewolves and Mermen along with other crazy species.

{reaches in for virtual high five and a handshake from Yankovic270}--DaBigUn 17:16, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

{gives DaBigUn a virtual high five and handshake}

Yankovic270 17:43, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

YAY!! someone finally caught my Halo reference!! :)Destroyanator 22:10, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

It's kind of glaringly obvious to anyone who actually played those games, as I did. I played 'em all. From Halo: Combat Evolved to Halo 3. Still waiting for the movie.

Yankovic270 04:57, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Rules
The rules have been changes, and I don't know how by. It makes the timeline jump almost 130,000 years--DaBigUn 01:55, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Countries
Should we start to re-color the map to better represent the new large number of nations, even if most are still closely tied to one another, we should strat to think of this stuff.--DaBigUn 03:22, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

There is only one Mobian nation. And that is the Mobian Empire that has existed since 2,740,000. I don't think the territory is excessive. I mean, Ghenghis Khan ruled an empire about twice the size of the Mobian Empire.

ps: Whose "bright" idea was it to have the Mobians, and then everyone start dying from a disease?

Yankovic270 04:51, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Only THE CONQORUNS where affected; by the way they were my creation. In-fact I specifically said that the other species in the area WHERE able to contain it.--DaBigUn 05:01, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

PS:No one ever wrote much about it spreading or even dying out, it was maybe in ONE other post then the original it was posted in. Check your history next time before steeping up.--DaBigUn 05:01, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

ALSO, it has been long enough for the empire to shrink or separate due to the 150,000 year time jump as well as just TIME it self from passing, there where no previous post about these "species nations" to exist and have CONCRETE CENTRALIZED governments, they just magically sprang them. (even my species of Fudalus got separated into three nations, with the largest being the oldest one that FINALLY succeeded in uniting the people.)--DaBigUn 05:01, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

And  YOUR  the one deleting my PICS, whenEVER I post a cleaned up pic, YOU DELET IT................... :(!!!!!!!!--DaBigUn 05:04, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

The last of my pics to survive you genocide of my pics was in 2,660,000--DaBigUn 05:09, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry DaBigUn. I just wanted "my" empire to still be in one piece. And there were posts in which there was a virus outbreak or strange disease.

Yankovic270 05:18, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

I understand, but the post werent many, in fact there has not been vary much in the way of natueral disastors at all. and dont worry, they can form a cooperative OR just make a grand UNION, which after a couple post SHOULD/WOULD become an EMPIRE agian. I shall not DRASTICALLY miss wit your guys and then I would expect you not do miss wit mine. DEAL? --DaBigUn 05:21, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

PS: a strong alliance with the Mobians would be great. stronger then they already have.--DaBigUn 05:24, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Just so you know, I "messed" with the Conqorens because I thought they would become a threat. After all they were described as a race of gigantic almost primal savages. Strategicaly speaking there was no rational reason to leave them to their own devices. But I will leave your peoples alone as long as they leave the Mobians alone

Yankovic270 05:30, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Fudalus is the first race I greated and the one I am conserned about., just so you know.--DaBigUn 05:33, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

I see no reason to mess with the Fudalus. They are a more peaceful people compared to the Conqorens, and the current alliance (not union) between them and the Mobians is beneficial to both parties.

Yankovic270 05:37, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

ok, ttyl then.--DaBigUn 05:39, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

can you please translate that? I don't know much "leet".

Yankovic270 05:43, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

ttyl = talk to you later. if you wish to know more, just post on my talk page and I well tell you all I know.--DaBigUn 05:48, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Guys, guys, GUYS, holy crap, I'm really sorry about making a few diverse CULTURES not NATIONS form with the South Poxians as it has seemed to make everyone clamour to make NATIONS, I know we have timeskipped ahead but I don't think we should be developing science and have centralised government or other stuff so early, even if we have a map full of giants, trolls, wolves, giant ants and stuff. Take it a bit more slowly? Smallpox 12:39, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Guys, the Covenant thing is dumb. I mean, first, I don't even understand what is the Covenant supossed to be. Second, the North American tribes are some of the most simiesque existing. I mean, how can that be superior to everything?
