A place to sit around and talk about the comic.

Or assessed the situation and decided he lacks sufficient information to take any sort of aggressive action.
or is doing the quintessential "Play it cool, man, play it cool"
You do have a good point. I imagine their respective mask is really into this kind of games and thus min-maxed the Basitins to a fault. They seems a race designed for one specific reason, war, winning the game, and are pretty bad at anything else. As you point out they are incredible rigid so I imagine getting them cut off from central command might be an effective tool to neutralize the Basitin legion. And that makes them not very adaptable, they require constant orders and a clear chain of command to operate, well the least "tropical" ones do. And I figure they are mired in military bureaucracy and "doing things by the book" and when confronted with disaters, such as half of the top brass dying on a military explosion, they go all haywire. No to mention they got divided for some reason. So yeah on second thought they do not seem so OP.MuonNeutrino wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2019 3:42 am
Well, they may have physical prowess and be resistant to magic (though note not immune), but being completely unable to use magic themselves is a pretty severe accompanying disadvantage given how powerful and useful magic seems to be in this universe. Being resistant to it is all well and good, but that doesn't stop the other races' ability to use magic for *other* purposes (i.e. not just direct combat) from being a significant advantage. They also inhabit a significantly smaller area and so most likely have a lower total population than either of the other two races (and are divided into two feuding groups on top of that), and they've also shown, both on an individual level and particularly on a societal one, a distinct lack of flexibility in their thinking that could easily be a disadvantage in confrontations with more devious races. They have their advantages for sure, but I don't know about that making them OP.
And images are displaying fine for me, so that might be on your end.
Also Reni is supposed to be a royal dragon so I imagine she and/or her familyis well known even outside human lands.
Her family, sure, but remember, she is explicitly human royalty. Even though she's a dragon.Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 2:13 amAlso Reni is supposed to be a royal dragon so I imagine she and/or her familyis well known even outside human lands.
He seems so "evil purpose free". Like if you asked why he chose to work for Clovis in is nefarious schemes his answer would be "He asked."
Why turn him human? Just have Reni interrogate him.BadJoke wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 6:38 pm Also they totally should take the chicken too. Imagine the poor guy trying to plan revenge or to tell others he's human and everyone answer with "What aa funny birdy." (And more logically, shouldn't Rose tell Trace about that and turn him human again to interrogate him? Time to advance the plot dammit!)
Don't see a reason to turn him human. He does not look as impressive anyway. 8/BadJoke wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 6:38 pmHe seems so "evil purpose free". Like if you asked why he chose to work for Clovis in is nefarious schemes his answer would be "He asked."

That seems to apply only to the Eastern Basitins. We haven't yet seen much of Western culture, but it doesn't seem to be as militaristic — although I wouldn't be surprised to learn they're individually just as dangerous with nastysharp pointythings as any of Adelaide's happy little troopers.Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 2:13 am And that makes them not very adaptable, they require constant orders and a clear chain of command to operate, well the least "tropical" ones do.

I imagine the Western Basitins to be much more laid back than their eastern counterparts. The Easterners stuck me as European and slightly germanic but the westerners seem more Hawaiian and a bit tribal. but who knows, We might learn more in a side comic on the far future perhaps about Carver's (mis)adventures in the Western basitin nation.SpottedKitty wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 11:16 pmThat seems to apply only to the Eastern Basitins.

Just a note here. Both Eastern and Western Basitins are militaristic communities to their core. Military life and conflict between the two communities is so essential that when one side begins to gain too much of an advantage over their counterpart, they actually back off and let the other side recover so that they can continue their war.Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2019 2:27 amI imagine the Western Basitins to be much more laid back than their eastern counterparts.
