Play G1, have fun.

Hi, being desperate i ask this question:

 

As we had observed so long ago, Shapers have trench wars;

with battle alphas, other creations and magicians as their petty pawns, as agents of their will and guardians of their interests deliver swift death to all who oppose them.

 

I was wondering then,

don't they have ominous floating tanks, with crystal turrets? Floating ships, with turrets on them? Intelligent swimming devices that blow up? I mean it' easy to get methane or some other gas; they are biotechnological masters aren't they?

[Acky]

No floating tanks.

 

They have lizard ships that shot fire called Living Crafts.

 

Pyroroamers and later Exploading Kyshakks match this, but their on land.

 

Sure, but there was never a need for those kinds of creations until the rebellion, in which the Shapers already pumped out a few new creation types.

Too bad: i would have loved to see the floating pyramid like structures that are in the second renaissance part two in the Animatrix series, destroying and killing hundreds of Servile slaves.

It would have been a sure devastating shaper weapon.

 

Anyway, the Shapers did know wars, you know;

in G1 it is implied that they had massive wars.

The needs implies the means;

they must have some creations of that sort before the rebellion, as we can, hypothetically speaking, imagine wizards attempting to master the secrets of essence well before the second Sucia incident, as implied at the beginning, can we?

Are there any other references to these, outside G1, of course?

[A less presumptuous name.]

The wars referenced in G1 took place long ago. Most of specialized creations weren't needed after the wars, and the knowledge of how to shape them faded away.

[Acky]

Yeah, they were fighting regular old people, who's weapons were barely about ancient world tech. They didn't need that kind of weapon, since all of their other creations worked fine.

not gonna lie though, breaking into a giant biological fortress would be pretty sweet

And sort of Freudian...

And slightly gross. And you'd run the risk of your characters (literally) being eaten alive.

The way to the heart of the Shaper empire is through its stomach?

 

All Dikiyoba knows is that Dikiyoba doesn't want to be there when the fortress goes rogue.

There goes the neighborhood.

Me either. I would, however, like to see what would happen when it does, and then only from a mile or two away, and through a good set of binoculars.
