FfH trivia game thread

[GhostQ]

There is no chain of 5 without capturing, killing, aka without losing the unit in question though right?

 

[xienwolf]

None which I could find.

 

[smjjames]

I'm fairly busy as well, so here's a simple one: What is a Grand Brood?

A Grand Brood would be the vampire nobles that rule the cities as thier own personal estates. The equivalent of Dukes or Barons which would be the governor of a given city or region.

If given the chance, they would be the planetary ruler under an emperor of an interstellar empire.

BTW that last sentence is a reference to the Dune series of books, both by the origional author Frank Herbert and his son, who now continues the legacy, Brian Herbert.

 

[Mewtarthio]

Correct, smjjames. Your turn.

 

[smjjames]

ok, what happened the first time a nullstone golem was used in battle?

 

[Ur_Vile_Wedge]

As it sayeth in the wise civelopedia

"The first time a Nullstone Golem advanced on a group of well-prepared enemy mages, a nearby iron golem was rusted instead, three fireballs were returned towards their senders, and four passing cows were charmed."

 

[xienwolf]

And the entire camp of Mages were in Therapy for the next 5 years because of what a Charmed Cow happens to have in mind...

 

[smjjames]

LOL xienwolf

I don't know a whole lot about the story behind some of the stuff or alot of the lore, which is why I did an easy question, heh.

your turn urvile.

 

[Ur_Vile_Wedge]

hmmm

I want to keep the question as openended as possible, but if I'm vague and need to clarify, yell at me


What is the cave of ancestors used for?

 

[MagisterCultuum]

In the game, or thematically?

In the game, it simply gives adepts built there 1 xp per mana in the city.

Lorewise, it was used in (at least) one of the many trials Amurites go through to ascend through the ranks. The last of such trials (most Amurite mages and even archmages choose to stop long before this one) is mortal combat against the Cassawallen, in order to replace him.

 

[Mewtarthio]

Letting the Amurites keep their "uber mages" theme.

EDIT: And the Magister just ninjaposted me.

 

[Ur_Vile_Wedge]

Magister gets it (again)

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Open floor.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

The Hippus diplo music is from what song?

 

[Fenboy]

It's Pageant, from the Cirque du Soleil's Ka show.

/Just bought the album, it's freaking sweet! Hippus & Khazad & Doviello oh my!

Open floor

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Which one is Khazad? I Ituned it and bought Love Dance (bannor), aftermath (elohim), Pageant (hippus), Battlefield (CoE?), and Battlefeild (Infernal?)

 

[Fenboy]

I'm pretty sure that the opening bars of O Makunde is the Khazad theme. The music goes off in a wildly different place after what you hear in FFH though.

 

[smjjames]

yea well it's your turn Fenboy....

 

[Fenboy]

Open floor!

Once more!

With feeling!

 

[loocas]

An easy one for those still awake: What references does FfH share with the DOOM series?
