Well it has been confirmed that there will be humanoid races. It would be cool if there will be tribes and civilizations.Tribes could evolve into civilizations though. I'll start with the tribes. Culture,Religion etc: Every tribe should have an own holy plant or tree and a holy animal. You will see both of it as you arrive in the village (like the plants are growing near to the village or there is a statue of the animal). Also it should have it's own religion which will be based on the plants and animals on that planet. How you communicate with them&language: As you come to the village,your translator tool will be activated. I heard when they talk it's like Sims,but it's just how it sounds,right? Anyway when you come there, you talk with the chief first. I think a GUI should appear,where you can choose what to ask! When he will answer it will look like that way. (Text on his language) (English text) Their language should be randomly generated. For every English phrase that will be added there will be a word on their language. It should have nearly the same number of letters as the English word (maybe 1 or 2 more) to not make it look like a mess. Also the words should have an algorithm that the words wouldn't be like "xdhg" but like "xada". For example: (Gox figet di rafxed Dawaix) (Our tribe is called Dawaix) The name will be randomly generated too. As you come to a chief,in the GUI you can ask him to help you,to trade,or ask him to tell you something about his culture). He will tell you then something about his culture,his gods/demons would be f.e the bosses. Also if he tells you something like "At the hills is the place we found the black water",you'd probably know that he is talking about oil and go there. Migrating:You could invite some of the f.e Dawaix to live in your city and work there. They would come and bring their culture and language also. If you look at their houses you would see a mix of their architecture and the modern/human one. The language would be a mix to, f.e English-fight Dawaix-Vaned = Figne.Also,if there will be female and male humans,and male and female Dawaix,they could breed and make a new "sub"-race.Like a mixed one.To do it more random,every mixed creature would have its own parts which are human and which are Dawaix. Basically every person on that planet would know Dawaix-English (without translator tool) and English, bu only the real Dawaix would know the Dawaix language. They would do auto-migrating too,when the relations between you and them are good enough. How they evolve: By the moment you start talking and trading with them,they will earn more knowledge about you and your culture,and use it for their own stuff. They would start using English words when talking to you (like "hello"). Also they would evolve in culture and social stuff,until they become a civilization,which could be a real danger for your base.. If the civilization is already there,and not the tribe,it would be kinda the same,but you wouldn't talk about their religions,but more about science etc.
Lets keep it simple, they shouldn't evolve, because it doesn't happen that fast, also there would be challenges coding it and it would be very confusing, I think there should be different tribes, some technologically advanced, some living in wooden huts
The culture idea is cool, each race or tribe could have a different one, but I'm not really keen on the whole migration thing
Agreed here, the language thing would be a pain to code, mostly cause you would have to come up with combinations and stuff, it's not something you can really easily do, we know that they are adding in villages and I would love to see the culture thing where each village has it's own culture and architecture, the cross breeding would be interesting but doing it the way you said, where they have a part of them Dawaix and a part Human, that would look reeeally funky, if they could find a better way to do it I love the idea of cross breed races. Migration thing is ok but I don't want random people moving into my town, I like controlled environments and if I go out on an adventure and find 20 new people in my town from random cultures I've befriended (as if I would do such a thing...) than I would probably get pissed, like a lot.
Could work..but .. I guess they would think migrating to other planets is a good way to escape the work..Sadly they will just find my colonies and MORE WORK muhahahahaha
You gotta make sure no one escapes though! Otherwise they end up tellin the universe and than you got those pesky Star Liberators on your front door, had to slaughter THREE fleets of them this week! You'd think they'd learn huh?
Yah gotta hate those pesky star liberators... Any way it would be awsome if by defaufault the statues and such that they worship would be iimages of themselves but if you go to the planet and they see you they start to make statues of you or your ship or your pet space panquins. It would be awsome to find out a religion sprunge up becuse you had to go down to a planet to empty your septic tank.
