极厉害的另类奇幻种族介绍[分享]
www.ssg.com.au
就是Warlords Battlecry 2的官方种族介绍,比较接近黑色幽默.我最喜欢对兽人的介绍.
开头部分:
‘A working class hero is something to be’, sang Orcish troubadour and Poet Laureate Ironbar
Legeater, and he knew what he was singing about. Ironbar’s short and tragic life encapsulated the
black despair that lies at the heart of Orcish life. A deep stygian despair, enlightened only by
music, poetry and the frequent acts of extreme violence that give a dim outline of meaning to
Orcish existence.
Ironbar suffered the usual rejection from a world that both hates and fears Orcs. Skin ‘too green
’ for hero school. Tusks ‘too big’ for acting school. Talons ‘would get in the way’ of
hairdressing. Crushed by the cruelty of a heartless world, Ironbar turned to music (and violence)
and would often jot down songs, or write his moving sonnets, by the light of burning orphanages.
Since razing a building contributes 100 Stone to an Orcish side’s resources, a burning orphanage
is a win-win situation, and a cheap price to pay for such great art.
Orcs require mostly Gold and Stone, though there is also a need for Metal and even Crystal for
their more exotic creations. If Orcs acquire surplus crystal, they coat it in poison and leave it
where they think Elves will find it. Contrary to their stereotype, Orcs have a reasonably
complicated research tree, and their now widely imitated ‘grunge’ style of architecture and dress
was simply way ahead of its time.
再比如这段:
Wolfriders:
Wolfriders are actually the intellectuals of the Orcish side, since they alone have figured out how
to get someone else to do the hard work of carrying them into battle. Being intellectuals, they
have naturally turned to radical politics, and follow the revolutionary dogmas of V.I. Wargski, who
was voted Etheria’s most dangerous demagogue so many times in a row that he was awarded the trophy
in perpetuity.
As a result, Wolfriders often charge into battle shouting slogans such as ‘The Orcs must control
(or raze) the means of Production’, and ‘The Goblins, Orcs, Ogres and all other members of the
Small, Medium or Large Giant Class are the vanguard of the revolution’. Unfortunately for the
Wolfriders, revolutionary fervor is no substitute for decent armor, and their zeal merely ensures
high casualty levels. However, there need be no lack of replacements, and the Rabies upgrade can
ensure that they do spread something other than their politics.
