  • Today we're having four nations with varying levels of intelligence go to war! Will the idiots put their collective knowledge together and win, or will they get destroyed by the geniuses?

    i think that every time the people with the "bad" traits will win because the chance of inheritances isn't a lot and they will eventually just turn into normals, making them really op

      Curious way to look at it
      The worst can only grow out of it, while the best can only tarnish their heritage
      I suppose early game doesnt matter much, so all the traits get mudded together and when it comes to actual conquering its just about who has a bigger army

    Battle idea: 3x3 square, like tic-tac-toe board, with mountains in between each. Put each race of humanoids in each corner, put each one of the summoning things (like tumor and cybercore) on the side squares, and put a few undead in the center. See which one comes on top. Also, if you don't want the cybercore, you can use bandits or some one man army.

      Real modern armies want smart people hence why they offer so many education bonuses and home assistance. If they wanted as many idiots as they could get there hands on they'd cut all the college stuff and just give folks bigger checks. And days off. maybe salary?

    I'm curious if it would have been different if the locations of super-genius and genius were swapped.
    It is possible that idiots were going down to super-geniuses and killing them for their weapons and since supers had such low numbers they couldn't really fight back, even with better weapons it's still 10 to 1.
    Swapping spots would have made it supers vs genius (25 vs 10) and vs normal (5v1) which could have given the supers more of even odds numbers wise.

    You need a larger map and some bodies of water. Numbers trump everything when you're in an enclosed space like this. If there were land shapes in water then your geniuses and super geniuses could maybe use their boats to take islands. Also, how smart those first guys are doesn't matter for much after the first few generations. So either find a way to make traits 100% inheritable or, maybe try this out with elves instead. Just some thoughts. :)

    I wonder if the Idiots were also the most reckless, brave, maybe stubborn or just relies on their initial instincts, emotions and luck to win- so they rush right in- also because they're stupid not necessarily cowardly...maybe...

    Fun fact: once a place is taken,most don’t die meaning once idiots took regulars they had both,then they took super-geniuses making it easy to take geniuses,maybe they’re not as much of an idiot as we thought

    The reason his name was mud is because if you think about it mud/dirt and water is the foundation of earth also if there was mud that also means there is no water because mud is made with water. They put a lot of thought for the name mud
