Bombardment Specialist Name

#1 Post by wobbly »

Laenfa are "sneaky" which halves research for stealth techs. I'm looking for a name for Trith to give them a bombardment specialty.

My gut says "genocidal" but I'll use exterminators if people think the word is too loaded. I was thinking reduced research cost and part cost for capital = Trith. I might also take a look and see if I can understand C++ enough to look into the UI bugs.

Trith need something else also to bring them back into balance and I'm not sure what. This is just something to give them some unique flavour/playstyle.

Genocidal is much better than exterminator, IMO. And I like it more than bombardiers, because that makes me think of (heavy) bombers, the fighters.

Exterminator, by the way, has bad connotations, as treating other species like plagues. The kind of euphemisms that would use the ones perpetrating the genocide.

Genocidal +1.

Maybe Trith need to get something good from Racial Purity (or something else) instead of just punishing their other species. A policy to enslave other species, get nice PP from them (but no IP or RP), without killing them as one is expected to do with conc. camps.
