Total War
Added 2020-06-04 05:32:30 +0000 UTCIt's unveiled. First Contact - Total War. A 5-way (soon to be 6 way) brawl across the Orion-Cygnus Galactic Spur. Trillions of lives hang in the balance, entire cultures teeter on the brink of extinction, and entire species are on the edge of extinction.
I updated the Wiki on Reddit under my name. I'll be updating the Gestalt Wiki, mainly the species appearance.
A big thought here is just what are we looking at? We're looking at a possible fatal case of Victory Disease, over-extending, and a situation where our heroes have to do everything right each time but the antagonist only has to get it right once. It's a race against time.
Additionally, as we've seen, the Lanaktallan have no culture at anyone below the high ranking Most Highs, what culture we have seen is little more than cruelty and sadism. That makes them susceptible to memetic warfare and propaganda as well as cultural warfare.
The Lanaktallan have a society that could be messed up by 9gag, and they're going to war with the only civilization in the galaxy that has honed computer warfare, meme warfare, and VR into a lifestyle.
It promises to be a wild ride.
We'll see where it leads.
