Well, why not? Is there some kind of issue with the Sesmu?

They have a choice of three.
"mew."

And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth as they fled the terrible kittens.

Its good, but I hope you guys will please step away from using only Egypt terms for vasudans.
That narrowed approach for the Vasudan society gave me always the feeling for mutated Egypt flying in space.

Its custom for vasudans " to take on what they call a Terran name " that was after the great war and

"Because the Vasudan homeworld was primarily desert, the Terrans used Egyptian names to designate Vasudan warships during the Terran-Vasudan War and the Great War. After the defeat of the Shivans, the Vasudans insisted on maintaining this convention. The Emperor strongly identified with the history of Ancient Egypt, particularly the longevity of its civilization. Following their Emperor's example, Vasudans will take on what they call a Terran name from the myths and history of Ancient Egypt"

For the Military still okay, but not for the Vasudans as a whole, I mean after 50 ?? years of interchange, specially history, that its normal to see something like a female vasudan scientist calling herself "Marie Curie" or for civilian freighter "Makai" [HAWAIIAN WORD Makai: toward the sea]
And how the Vasudan thinks of that as an insult " to take on what they call a Terran name " that the stupid monkeys are able to distinguish our people.

I had never thought about the caste system but it would be real interesting to go deeper into detail.
Why, it could give an explanation why they recover relatively well and if your born into one or you can choice from an particular age.
I think to ability to choose fit better with the vasudans and why not more than one.
"the Vasudans are a civilization of philosophers, artists, and scholars rather than warriors" I would say there is now a strong military caste and good opportunity to show the diffrent approaches to war.
" The Art of War " fit them really well, instead of fixed fleet movements " Terrans art; Showing your womens womb" and more the fluent fleet movements "Vasudans art ; The Swordwind" sent out scouts and attack in one fluent strike ( Power OverWhelming ) that would give an explanation for the swarm tactics in the TVW !?.
Some **** like that.
"Showing your womens womb" Well, a kind way for the vasudans to satirical the terrans for this " to take on what they call a Terran name ".

Why I am writing this hmm, I am bored and would like to give a other point of view, I guess !

I really looking forward for WiH and Good luck!

That sounds like it would be incredibly forced.

I don't want to fight with the Akaleirabainhannah-seryo (if the light shining upon the ship at shipboard breakfast time is green, suffix changes to oryhhough, for other points on the spectrum see the attached guide) just so the Vasudans seem more alien.

Re: War in Heaven Preview 3
No clue.

I have toyed with the idea of Vasudan slang that was picked up by Terrans before. "Know the shield" for example, a phrase similar in useage to the Terran "seen the elephant"; a slang term indicating one has seen combat, dating to pre-gunpowder Vasuda Prime. A warrior who fought in battle and survived, it was presumed, knew how to use his shield.

I've also found myself inventing new military jargon for the Terrans simply because it's improbably modern jargon would survive that long.

Re: War in Heaven Preview 3
some real good stuff in this one. only just finished all 4 of them.
I shat all over that Shivan fighter....right up 'till his buddy got me.

 
Re: War in Heaven Preview 3
It sounds like the Jester's prophecy definitely involves the return of the Shivans, and its trigger for this 'unspeakably horrible' event will be the Terran Civil War.

This pleases me.  :yes:

Pretty well! We made huge progress this summer and we remain active.

 
Re: War in Heaven Preview 3
By all means, release it when you're ready. Although I must be one of the weird ones who enjoys reading the encyclopedic back stories as I do actually playing the games. The prose of Blue Planet is really great.
