So since kahn survived does that mean the amazons also survived with her?

[Nakéen]

No.

They wouldn't have survived the dimensional crossing.

Initial Intelligence. I already regret including it

More seriously, this is an interesting question. What differentiate a Dumb Sapient from a Smart Non-Sapient ?

First, what is Sapience ? According to some, Sapience is an additional property different from Intelligence. Sapience etymologically means wisdom, as per the latin word it is derived from. It is basically the ability to judge and to make choices. To think for one self, the notion of morality and good/bad.

Now what is Intelligence ? To simplify greatly, Intelligence is the ability to process information, gather and use knowledge in different ways. So Intelligence would be akin to the CPU and Memory of a computer to be very crude.

So a Smart non-sapient would be able to learn a lot of informations, to devise imaginative and unexpected plans. And if it were given a choice, it would follow its "natural programming". Survive, protect one kin, etc... It would be akin to a computer.
Still with the computer analogy, a Sapient, be it Dumb or Smart, would be able to question its programming. A Non-Sapient would never question its programming, as in Primal Needs or Genetic Behavior.

Of course, this is just my own interpretation, that myself knows if far from right. But it is to give a better idea of how I see Sapience and Intelligence in the boundary of this game's Universe.

tldr:
Sapience = Wisdom and Judgement
Intelligence = Brain Power
Smart Non-Sapient : Good Computer
Dumb Non-Sapient : Crappy Computer with a very complex Software installed

Good enough for me! A smart non-sapient creation will be great, since it won't decide to suddenly abduct humans for breeding and become an advanced race, more interested in expanding their borders rather than helping other creations >.>

for some reason I get the feeling that I might make a super genius computer to run everything for me...

[Nakéen]

For non-sapient beings :
-Intelligence level is limited at "Normal"
-Default is at "Dumb"
-Above normal, the being automatically attains Sapience. [With associated cost forced onto you haha]

Don't try to trick me

If you make a being too smart, it will develop Sapience by itself. Except if you specifically destroy its Sapience regularly in one way or another.

Ah, finally. Now my plan of gods battling for mortals and immortals free will is set in motion.

IC post posted

Go nuts.

[Nakéen]

The Game has begun, and I will wait for at least 6 players to post in the IC thread before myself posting something.

Before I post anything, do you want an initial thread to organize your actions before the coming timeskip ?

Or do you want to immediately be free of any forced plot and waltz around ?

[Nakéen]

IC post is coming. Slowly but surely.
