Spore Underwater Civilizations?

Underwater Civilizations?

Just reading some of the information so far, it appears that 'fire' is a key to creating a civilization (or at least the early stage of one). Does this mean that we won't be able to creat an underwater civilization? I'm all about making an entire society of sea creatures if possible.

Off to go looking for more info. Thanks for the site

A Good question, we will have to get HEAT to answer, or remember to ask at the 1st chat event.

 

Obviously, there are things that i don't know...lol...i may know a little bit more than you guys, but i still don't know alot about it...

I heard that Will Mentioned that you'll have to go through land in some stage of the game....I still don't know if that means that you cannot create Sea-Based creatures....but iv'e seen some screenshots of underwater cities...so this is indeed a good question...

Based on what info? can you please quote?


Hope i helped :smile:

Hmmm, I looked at a lot of stuff yesterday, I'm not sure exactly where I got it from. I think maybe the gamespy interview; I recall something about needing a fire to move into 'village' mode (not sure of the exact title they give that section).

I also later on read a thread at another website (gamesteve or something like that I think) that made it sound as if you had to have 'land dwelling' beings to make them sencient. Keeping my finger crossed.

BTW I don't think I've been this excited about a game ever. Usually I don't start desiring games until a month before they are due out

 

I never heard about certain Fire importance, but it may be possible..

Hopefully it's true, cause underwater civilisations sound really cool.

 

I like your theory, it makes sense. All though everything is conjecture now, it's fun to guess!

This is a game so maybe you won't need to have fire involved in your civilization, maybe there will be something else.........

 

GamingSteve mentions that fire is a key aspect of the game.

But if you remember GameSpy's article, you can plop down an entire city using the UFO, on a planet without an atmosphere, and the city will be enclosed in a dome. Maybe this is what will happen underwater. There'll be an enclosed dome in which your creatures live, and maybe they'll somehow find fire in there.

I have to agree with what that Guest said. If your creature does not find fire, because they live underwater (assuming the above theory is wrong), then maybe they just won't have the knowledge of species which have found fire.

Then again, if you fight underwater, fire's not going to be much use, is it? And then the underwater creatures will have the advantage...

 

Spongebob had a fire underwater. I see no problem here.

(Really. If there's a way of doing it, it'll probably be done. Just don't expect any genius story holding together all of the underwater technology.)

 

But then again, marine creatures should have a weakness towards fire ... or it will be unfair.

 

yeah...they sound really awesome :smile:

 

Yea, I agree. It sounds so cool, I hope we'll be able to have them. :spin:

 

Are you sure that's underwater one?




Heat

 

Soz, that's a land one. It's just the quality of the picture makes it look blue.

 

But... there are bubbles...

 

I don't see bubbles....




Heat

 

Those aren't bubbles. They're just parts of the buildings.

 

Bubbles :smile:

 

I'm not sure about the other ones, but that thing in the middle is the mouse cursor :laughing2:
