I never left.

I'm having trouble finding anything about Caladria, other than Age Of Mythology.

O.o oh dear...

Love that game, but such scant resources won't do.

Well, for one, it IS avian.

Gimme a sec.

Whoopsies...

Minor brain fart (hope no telepaths were around; that would be embarrassing...)

It's Caladrius; Caladria was the Age of Mythology interpretation of the medieval bestiary bird.

Thanks.

I'm working on adding categories and other stuff.


I did Halcyon and I'm about to try Myrmidon..

I know SOME of them.

For all the others, there's google.

BTW: The Myrmidons that came from ants, not just normal old soldiers...in case it hadn't crossed your mind.

I finished it, go take a look and tell me what you think.


Since this we aren't trying to record the exact stories about them, we can add things that aren't necessarily part of the original myth.

New world, new interpretations.

Yeah, it's cool. Especially the all gray eyes thing.

It's no problem changing it up a bit. I'm perfectly okay with it, long as we don't do a whole myth-180 Hollywood style. That...that would bother me. Otherwise, we should be allowed to spice it up as befits such creative minds as ours...

Hmmm..


I'm pondering differences in personality between Myrmidons and Amazons..


Main thing I see is that the Amazons aren't as.. simplemindedly obedient.

Ehh...that and the fact they're all female. Totally unrelated to ants. Rely solely on the Gargarenses, their counterpart all-male race to reproduce. The first of them were daughters of Ares. But ya know, other than that...

I mean, sure they're both matriarchal societies, being led by queens, but...still...

OH! You meant psychological differences. Forgot, you're not dumb, lol...whoops.

Well, not much is different. They're warlike. They value power. They despise weakness. Pretty closely related psychologically...

Personality.


I mean, besides the obvious. Amazons = Females.


Tactics, Behavior, etc..

Yes...


The thing is, I can't picture the (Some what proud) amazons as being as instantaneously obedient like the Myrmidons.


More.. Individualistic.



I can see them using guerrilla/ambush tactics in warfare.

Yes, precisely.

Amazons: guerrilla tactics and vastly strategic and deadly warfare...

Myrmidons: swarm...

Also, for alignment, I'd say Lawful Neutral maybe?
