>>26900002I think one of the main things that's the issue is the lack of a suspension of belief. It's good to try and keep it as realistic as possible in certain aspects, but in others it's better to let a little bit of fantasy take place. Of course in the real world, cannibalism just couldn't be a normal thing. Ignoring societal norms, it's an entire psychological and biological stop that prevents us from doing it. But in a world like this one, it's better to sort of handwave it a little. Of course you shouldn't completely disregard it. Many places in this world hold cannibalism in contempt. But with something like /meat/, that's born from the very idea of things like cannibalism, it's rather dull to just shut down that entire facet of their existence. I think I explained that alright, let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on anything.
>>26900078I believe I said this before, but a Rosebuta can be taught other languages. They've also been working on a sort of "trade language" that's still their own but dumbed down for other species.
>>26900124I see. Honestly I don't plan for /rose/ to reveal itself for another year or two in the world's time. The meeting with Risuners plunged the council into some serious debating on their future that they won't clear up for some time. Once all of that fun debating is done, however, they will be revealing themselves officially. After learning what they can from the Sunwalkers.
For the campaign bit, I think you may be underestimating the Rosebutas just a smidge. I feel like the deadbeat's cultural exchange story did a pretty good job of displaying a Babirusa's strength. They can crush a man's skull with relative ease and can shrug off some serious hits. To have such a successful win against a whole swarm of them would take some serious power. Not saying it can't be done, but it would be a damn hard fight and not easy at all. That's why even the Sunwalkers, who have been fighting these guys for ages and know them better than anyone else, still haven't been able to wipe them out and can only barely fend them off from taking any more land.
