  1. I've got to thank you all for the lovely thread. I've had some mind to include worlds that have been testing polygons in my personal headcanon stories and the info is invaluable. A few things I wanted to chime in regarding the Machine Gods: 1. In the Flashpoint Zildrog is shown to use living beings (not nessesserily Force sensitive) as fuel. This is under control of Zildrog cult, and specifically Vinn and Gemini 16, who obviously did not care whom they used to acivate Zildrog. Is it possible that at some point in the past the system worked a littke bit differently? With Central Commander, then those who occupied Thrones, then everything else afected by system 2. Are we sure there were only 4 worlds that have been affected by the Iokathian war games? (this is expecially relevant to me as I was planning to include at least 7). Also, in the previous posts there is a mention that the worlds were monitored in case they 'upgrade' after being participants to become a worthy target in the future - would those have remained of note even in the more 'pacifistic' era of Iokath? 3. Can we really judge the age of ARIES, SCORPIO, the Machine Gods by the knowledge they have? All it would take for them to get the knowledge if dowloading it from a databank that already has the information, and those could have been moved to Iokath long before the creation of any abovementioned entitites
  2. It would have been really lovely to get (at least) a nice, long, asymmetrical top that completely dyes one color (with details dying another) Something like this: https://pin.it/2WJH1CN The only remotely similar set at the moment is Resourceful Renegade, and that one migrated from collection straight to pvp rewards
  3. Didn't see much in the ways of the bugs, except for the one mentioned here several times already: Interior door between the Northern and Western Lodgings "opens" backwards. Looks pretty, but turns the entrance absolutely useless Not sure if below counts as bug, but I've seen neither the taxis not the trantas in my SH. A pity Regarding overall issues/suggestions: 1. The SH would definitely benefit from ambient noise. As it is it's just to quiet. While individual rooms can be spruced up (ambient noise machines (though those are way quiet) or jukeboxes), it doesn't play right with the outside. Mountains and forest like this? You'll be hearing wind near constantly. Add waterfalls and the ambience should be pretty good 2. Mounts inside of SH. While I'm not as bothered by inability to use them inside the property - it didn't feel as big to me as, say, Rishi or even Yavin 4 - Kilik cave restriction grates 3. Death field on the balcony. Would be wonderful if it could be moved to at least the meadow in the distance. As of right now you take 1 step back off the balcony and you are dead. And just when there is that small tempting waterfall pool to meditate in 4. One panoramic upper room. While I disagree it should go anywhere over the stained window room ( since from the mountain retreat you can kind of see the back of its walls), I would wholly support a room in the tower over Northern Lodge 5. Ruins. This is more of cosmetic - but if you are putting a centerpiece hook there, the floor texture that looks like it divides the floor into two sections via stone block looks a bit out of place, unless you place something really massive over it (e.g. Jedi Library banks look great, Jedi War table doesn't). But this might be my nitpicking
  4. Not quite the point I was looking to make (though I love how your nickname works with your reply. Quite... Cynical, of you) What I meant, by "not holding the title of the Wrath" - is what would have been the title Warrior would have left the council chamber with (and, before you refer to the "dead" status from your reply - let's assume they got to the Council Chamber alive and well) I find it interesting due to the fact "Wrath" is a title that supersedes any other. The rest, presumably, being no longer important per warrior class story from that point on
  5. I blame the midnight search and you all for finding this thread and staying up way longer than I should have to read it through. And now I have Opinions Post to share... While I agree with all of those mentioning that Wrath's standing really took a hit with Emperor gone, I'm a bit surprised at the claims that they have no real political standing in the Empire without him. Please bear with me as I go through some of the points (and try to make them as non-headcanon influences as possible) 1) Wrath is the Sith equivalent of nobility The Empire is, story-wise, is quite big on their lineages, and passing the power / positions through the lineages. While I admit that there is little reference to it further on in the Warrior story - the end-all seems to be that Warrior gets defined by their "Wrath" title alone - the assumption can be made that they, at the very least, have the same standing in the Empire that any non-denounced noble does. That alone grants them some measure of influence, which can be grown further on in the story depending on your choices Cases in point (hereditary nature of Imperial Sith Lines) : I'd be happy to hear your opinions on this point - as I said, there is little class-line evidence to support the above. But Wrath certainly was brought up among a higher class than most other Imperial Characters (e.g. Wrath's manner of speech is made out to be quite formal and eloquent in most situations, including those commonly seen as "relaxed") 2) Sith "Right of Conquest" tradition Sith are also big on the "Right of Conquest" - "to the victor, go the spoils". Just as it sounds like, when it comes to direct confrontation between two (or more) sith, the victor often gains the loser's power base to do with as they please. This is especially evident in the Sith Inquisitors' class line, but is also skimmed over in the Warrior line Which brings me to the following point - had Warrior not been selected as "Emperor's Wrath" at the beginning of Chapter III, exactly how different would their situation be from the Inquisitor's Chapter III finale? In the end, both executed a Dark Council member, witnessed by other Council members. True, the SI won Kaggath (and thus had the right to absorb Thanaton's properties, along with the military assets) - but Warrior was succeeding their master (and as per Warrior Ch II, it appears to have the same result). To conclude, had it not been for being chosen as Wrath, Warrior had the right to succeed Baras on the Council, which is something I don't think would just be forgotten (especially if Warrior inherits Baras's power base - which is something that is sadly glossed over in the class line) Now unto planet/choice specific moments... In which, personally, I think firm Darkside Wrath stands to loose much more than Neutral or Light Wrath Please pardon if I headcanon a bit in this part - I'll try to mention it where relevant 3) Potential Allies So... With Emperor gone, Wrath isn't quite as up as they used to be, but personally I'd consider them a sort of "Field Councilperson" - equal but detached from the general Dark Council. Free to do as they please, so long they don't stomp all over other's plans (at which point they have to negotiate, negotiate, and negotiate some more till all parties are satisfied) Pardon the longs post...
