Yes, why not.
Although I wasnât thinking about them to be honest.
IMO it doesnât feel right, but if we go this road of ancient civilisation, why not.
Neanderthals are no Home sapiens so we would even be talking about a pre-human culture.
I was thinking more in the direction of the lost civilisation of Atlantis.
Or to make it less fancy, why not a 10.000 or 6.000 year old Egypt - Europe connetion.
We are still puzzeled about some of their building tecniques today.
As I sayd, that culture does not need to exist anymore.
It would suffise if some of their relics would be still hidden in the ground,
causing the robots to go amok.
But hey, when you like the neanderthal idea. Maybee the Map in Sweeden could be their last retrait where they grouped to escape the slow but sure extinction by homo sapiens.
With some technologie they tried to hide from us. âŚ
Evidently this is all very fancy. A simple human error, be it programming, radiation,
army tests, and what not, would be far easier to create and maybe more compelling
the the wider public if they donât like fancy stuff.
Neanders got extinct by unknown reason, we all have Nean DNA still.
But imagine, all that time, the waited, to wreck revenge on us, since âwe killed them offâ.
So, we then got motive.
And why would they not have survived, you spoke of an old culture⌠well: meet OLD. XD
True, hihi.
We indeed all have NEAN in our genes.
But they got extinct because Homo sapiens is smarter.
So somehow it doesnât feel right that they would have had technology that is that advanced.
But hey, why not, if they survived like you suggest, their technology would have grown aswell.
If they really would be alive and would be as smart as us, I believe we would be the once that got extinct this time.
So if they would be alive, waiting, preparing for a revenge, it could be plausible.
However, just one sidenote:
I 'm still thinking about the Alien suggestion you made earlier.
I think this would nicely fitt into the game afterall.
Because the whole Game seems to be kind of a tribute to the 80âs.
The teme song reminds of Terminator. The robots in Game aswell.
The military and weopons remind us of Rambo.
All 80âs movie classics. So Alien, evidently, would fitt in perfectly with the theme of the game.
Maybe aliens are the better choice afterall
No culture will grow or even surpass the present if they focus only on revenge.
Being open minded towards culture and lifestyle of others is what makes us evolve
up to a higher level. Only be being confronted with other and new things we grow ourselves aswell. Anyway, just a little sidenote. Donât take me to serious.
We are talking about a reason for imaginary robots gone amok in an imaginary sweeden of the 80âs so everything is possible. Even the revenge of the Neanderthals if this is what the public would like it to be
Yes, it could be.
Adding not only one but even 2 alien species would surely give the designers enough room
to create tonnes of different robots with each their unique specs. And since our world is right in the middle, it could be that at a certain moment we would have to choose as to what alien race would would back up and help in order to destroy the other aliens.
However the story, it would give devellopers and designers a lot of room to create different enemiy robots.
Star Trek TNG and Star Trek Voyager.
Main and worst enemies of the Borg.
Now, one of these races might have figured to erase life from their battlefield before commencing their war with the other species, so they would have no interference of humans (and other life forms).
Just maybe they collected all bodies (human and animal alike, there is no life there) to feed The Red Weed (War of the Worlds, book, H.G. Wells, 1897)âŚ
Xog.
PS: merely saying, everything CAN be explained if you like.
Maybe not the Sweedish Army, but one of both Alien species from your suggestion has choosen the island as a testing facility. To see what impact the human world has on their technologies performance and also to use our own human technology since they want to make earth a homebase of their own in order the be closer to the other alien race so they can spy on them before unleashing war on them.
(The 13nd Law of Combat: The use of Spies - The Art of War / Sun Tzu - approx. 496 B.C.)
Or this one is good aswell:
Alien race 1 has put technology of Alien race 2 on our little Island to make Humans believe that Alien race 2 is responsible for the disaster in Sweeden so that the Humans take the sides of Alien race 1 and help them combat the unsuspecting Alien race 2.
(Devide and Conquer / Divide et impera - Philippus II of Macedonia - 382 B.C. - 336 B.C.
A technique used by Julius Cesar to invade countries like mine in 58 B.C and
described in his book âDe Bello Gallicoâ.)
As you say, everything can be explained if one likes
Very refreshing to see such a nice and interesting discussion on the gameâs story! Thank you for sharing your ideas on the reason why these - clearly Swedish made - machines went on a killing spree.
@edhor note this all is completely nonsense, when you enter the game.
All these ideas are ADD-ON ideas/suggestions, every idea is âworked outâ/âexplainedâ/motivated.
Yes.
But these do NOT (yet) (probably never) apply to the game.
Itâs merely 2 complete idiots (well, mainly in here, being it @Moonmists and @myself, lol) having a complete mental breakdown. XD
I am however pleased, you enjoyed the read, my friend.
@Xogroroth I think itâs rare that a game captures the imagination of its players in a way that these kinds of discussions arise - only goes to show that the game settings, the environment, and the enemies work for some of us (and hopefully will be expanded upon by the devs down the line as well).
I totally agree that this is just a release valve for some creative minds and what could be possible in the game. I also totally agree that these ideaâs will NEVEREVER make it into the game. The Devs have released this game alreaddy so it is clear the game is exactly the way they want it to be and complete. They will not add entire new Robot Enemy Groups,
nor will they alther the story, nor will they make other great changes as it is a finished product for them. I believe they will just focus on eliminating the bigger buggs in the game and âMAYBEâ add on or 2 things that most people would like to see. Like maybe theyâll add a âSAVEâ feature and maybe 1 or 2 other small tiny things that people would like to see, but other than that the game will not be altered. Iâm sure. No matter how good the idea: Generation Zero 1 is a finished product already. Nontheless, nothing keeps us from being creative right Xogroroth?
About one thing I disagree though bro, why would you do something to go and call us
having a mental breakdown. That escapes my mind. Donât worry, I donât take this personal.
But why would you say something like this? Arenât we just two minds who are simply discussing what could be possible in this game. What could be added. Like if there would be a sequal comming out later. Didnât we alreaddy agree that we would just throw out no matter what Idea just so others could pick from this what they like and simply dispose of what they feel is rubbish?
Now I do not agree.
They just as well can be implemented!
I mean, the game is in a Beta state.
With 6 bot types, one canât really believe the game is in a finished state, correct?
So, who knows, they just might go for some of our ideas!
