Strongly recommend making the explanation a magical handwave thingie and not a pseudoscientific explanation like that it would be less likely to be full of holes. Huck: What's your name?

Also, the relevant division would probably be between living and nonliving matter (although that distinction is also unclear, maybe organic versus inorganic, which is an objective division, but would mean plastic can't be transported), and not between plants and animals different forms of life are less different than you might imagine. Think of a brain like a really complicated electrical appliance: it would maybe cease to function during transportation, but if everything is put back exactly the same, the "juice" could be "turned on" again without problems. That's not exactly true involuntary muscle contractions don't need brainwaves, and brain function wouldn't necessarily be disrupted (well. Soon the Cold One took flight, yielded Goddess and field to the victor: The Lord of the Light. but simply positing convergent social and technological evolution and trying to make it work by any means feels a lot like the famous square pegs in round holes to me. (Sorry, Cygan, I guess we're not being very co-operative. And farming was probably the single most important step in our social evolution, so taking that away would have enormous ripple effects.
That'd rule out farming, in the sense in which we use the word. For example, they might prefer to live in places which provide lots of cover, like dense forests and rough, mountainous terrain, and avoid open plains as much as possible. I'm thinking a civilization which still doesn't have land-supremacy by the time they can build trains would have to have developed radically different from ours. Humans pretty much had land-supremacy once they invented the spear. There are too many toasters in my chimney!ĭigging monsters, walking monsters, flying monsters, I'm having a really hard time seeing how the people not only built the railways, but how they managed to survive past the hunter-gatherer stage. Magic can also flow through them, superstrengthening their muscles.Īnother little thing about minotaurs the faster they run, the stronger and tougher they get.Įdited 4th Jan '11 3:39:17 PM by CyganAngel Well, fuck knows what they're made out of :/ That's why I brought this here it's delightful, to think of ALL the little things you need to think of.

I already have my solution, gained elsewhere we sorted through everything we could think of for this, including how to build the tracks, where to build the tracks, why trains even developed, why no altrnative transports are being used, etc.
Force over anything larger than about the size of your little finger gets dispersed over an area about 1 square metre- this was an evolutionary thing a design to stop thm from being injured by minotaurs and whatnot.Īnd, um, this was supposed to be a challenge for everyone, not just me. Problem with dragons is, you need all that force directed at one small point, to stand a chance of breaking through a dragon's scales. You still need to figure out how to stop them sabotaging the railway lines though (either deliberately or accidentally), and the Minotaur seems pretty tough, is his skeleton made out of diamond or something? Auto-cannons will sort them, both on railway carriages or on traction-engine sleds.
