Yor Collective

from GalCiv2 Forums
I don't get it why do Yor Collective, as a robotic race need farms to increase population, wouldn't it be logical that this function should be connected to the factories?

Race are not at all specific as they logically should be from this example.

They run on biodiesel. Yor farms just grow corn to turn into ethanol.

Robots aka artificial beings don't eat or need food in any shape or form.

they find some biological units are effecient gatherers of carbon and other useful materials. having chasis formed of carbon fiber and carbon nanotube based wiring, we find the methodologies used by selfaware organic units a useful means of mining said resources. besides, stainless steel is SO last year...

We're all missing the bigger picture here.  All they want is to BE human! Therefore, they eat. Well... they grow food, anyway.  -.-;

Why grow crops? To keep the humanoid slaves from getting too skinny. If they get too skinny they aren't worth recycling.

The Yor absolutely detest organic life. It is their long-term mission to exterminate all organic life where they find it. There is, however, one other irony -- the Precursors designed the Yor such that they would use as their main energy source the same thing as the Iconians. The Yor "eat" in a sense; they have farming of a sort.

Your Collective = Yor Collective

btw, the Yor are my favourite race, they remind me of Starcraft Protos which were also my favourite, that's way this omission is even greater.

That isn't an omission which you would have known by now if you had read my (and others) previous post.

The only reason the Yor eat like us and have to create farms etc is because the game mechanics are set up like that for all the other races and it would have been too difficult to change them for one race. Sorry to burst peoples bubble here but perhaps in a sequel we may get a truly alien race or races that actually work entirely differnetly from one another ie not all requiring farms, research facilities, diplomacy centres, entertainment centres etc.

The fact is that this game is quite repetitive for the various races at the moment, I dont see much imagination here for alien civilisations. I think there has been no game to date that has proterayed radical different races. Although at least Stars! had a go with its packet-throwing races, different planet ecologies and the like. This game is prety damn repetitive - same alien cultures, same alien way of life and requirements, same planetary conditions, same ships for each race etc etc.

Sorry to sound negative but lack of creativity in computer games these days is a bug bear of mine.

Their need for a biological energy source also conveniently explains why their starships need life support. Of course, as we know, any process that involves the breakdown of organic material will result in the buildup of gasses, such as methane.

So the Yor are farting robots.

Are they programmed to say 'Excuse me'? Do they laugh? "Ha ha ha, TPS-99845-3 just emitted 75 cc's, ha ha ha."

Okay, it's childish, but I only got three hours of sleep last night.
