What can Spore teach us about alien civilizations? A journey from hunter-gatherers to a galaxy-spanning empire (Part I: • The Biology of Spore |... ).
---
How much of civilization is shaped by our biology? How might our cities, transportation, and technology look different if we weren’t a group of nearly hairless primates? The video game Spore has the answers. Okay, well, maybe not the answers - but Spore does offer an interesting case study into the fundamentals of how a speculative lifeform might build a society.
In our first Spore episode, we followed a lifeform from a microscopic organism to the intelligent Curiousus Sapiens. In this episode, we’ll witness the ascent of their civilization, and explore how the unique biology of an alien like Curiousus Sapiens would affect things like the design of clothing, the schematics of vehicles, and shapes of buildings in unexpected ways. We’ll begin with Tribal Stage and go all the way to Space, completing the multi-billion-year-tale of Curiousus Sapiens
So, let’s return to Planet Curious, and discover the finale of the story of life...

Fun Fact: if you play through this game multiple times and keep your old saves, the empires from those saves will still be around near their original location and they'll even keep their archetypes. You can interact with them like any other empire, mainly shopping, accepting missions , and declare war/make alliances with them. Edit: Minor corrections, the empires appears in their original location on the dot, you can't capture their homeworld or buy their home system, anything you do to them will also affect their save.

@taelim6599 Жыл бұрын

It isn't near the original location, it actually *is* the original location. All games share the same galaxy, and anything you do to that empire affects you when you play that empire. It is impossible to take or destroy another save game's homeworld, and if you use mods to make it possible, you'll find that the game crashes if you ever try to play as that empire again.

Although I did notice a drop in the amount of creations people I followed made for fun in exchange for their libraries being filled with GAprops. Using the GAprop tag, you could make it so these creations wouldnt be randomly selected to appear in games, so you wouldnt encounter cities with Stone Wall 3 as their houses.

I would like to bring attention to Poverty Point, a Native American site that goes back all the way to the Archaic Period and was a permanent of hunter-gatherers. The land was so abundant that they did not require subsistence farming. And the Hopewell culture to come after was much the same. While true subsistence farming is necessary for large scale civilizations, it isn’t necessarily a requirement for permanent settlements

The great thing about Spore is that you can come up with ANY history that you would like for your species! I plan on making an adventure that allows my sapient species to tell their stories that go back billions of years!(realistically I will make them theorize about cell stage and early creature since that era was SO long ago…). I’d like to think that the game exaggerates it’s history for comedic effect, while also providing the player with tons of ideas and theories to help flesh out the exaggeration, it leaves room for creativity and Will Wright definitely wanted that in the game, props to him for even releasing this game!

In response to the spear concept, Chimpanzees use spears (or at least sharpened sticks) to stab monkeys that hide in tree hollows, even though they are immensely strong and have those monster canines. Curiosa sapiens may have developed spears in order to reach prey that was too dangerous to get close to, either through ranged stabbing or throwing and then kept them as a cultural thing.

@hedgehog3180 Жыл бұрын

Considering that spears were basically the best weapon historically it really is to be expected that any species with arms would develop them. It's just universally an advantage to keep your enemy at a distance and they're really easy to learn and even get good at. Plus in formations their power is multiplied and tight spear walls were historically some of the most succesful formations. A lot would have to be different for spears to not be the best option.

There was a ditched level of SPORE where one was supposed to build one's Home Village into the Capitol City of Civ-Stage. Basically it was going to be a combo of Sim City and Sim Farm, and agriculture was going to play a big part of it. I don't know, but I guess they scrapped it 'cause it would have been the least simplified stage, and there was no real way to put an Active Antagonist like a rival culture into it.

One game similar to Spore is called Elysian Eclypse and it’s currently being developed. It’s not anywhere near being done and I believe only the cell and creature creators are available now. But from what it seems it’s definitely going somewhere and with a lot more features that spore skips such as bronze and medieval stages. I’m pretty sure the team is very small though so I don’t know how long it’ll take for it to be in a complete-ish place.

I know that they had to cut 2 major stages. The aquatic stage (between cell and creature) and the town stage (between tribe and civilization). A lot of folks already talk about the aquatic stage, but I don’t think many folks talk about the cut town stage. The town stage would’ve consisted of the player managing a town’s crime, culture, pollution and food in order to stabilize the population. It would’ve been like an oversimplified city builder. I understand why it was probably cut (it was very simple) but I still consider it a bit of a shame because I think that the politics and policies a creature lives by can greatly effect how they would attempt to go for world domination. A town that demanded strict loyalty from the citizens, had no tolerance for crime and was basically a police state would be a good military nation. Meanwhile a town that wasn’t very strict and promoted liberalism and commerce would be a good economic nation. Lastly, a town that had very strong religious and cultural ties would be a religious nation.

What cultural traits did your species adopt during the galactic stage? I created a warrior culture from intelligent carnivores who love hunting and combat who after centuries of war were united under a single empire When they at last reached the galactic stage they realized how big the universe was and concluded that skill in warfare would not be enough to secure their dominion and quickly adopted a pragmatic view of expansion colonizing systems with rare minerals while allowing other civilizations to hold other star systems preferring to keep them as trading partners While my species has mastered commercial skills they haven't forgotten their warrior customs that enabled them to reach the stars and anyone foolish enough to instigate a war with them will find themselves in a costly conflict which may doom their entire race for my civilization does not accept a surrender without first guaranteeing that their enemy's ability to wage war is effectively crippled but while they may drive their foes off their homeworld they do not engage in wars of annihilation for they believe that to do so is short sighted and would render any gains ultimately worthless as allowing their foes to flee and rebuild is a more viable long-term strategy for expansion Along with claiming planets with rich mineral deposits my species also have gained a fondness for terra-forming as they believe that enduring the trials of wilderness survival and fierce crucible of war are what makes their race strong to those of you who made it this far this is the lore of my species based on what I was able to express with the available in-game mechanics and I'd be interested in hearing how you developed your species into a galactic civilization

They're an inquisitive and technocratic culture, but trying very hard to keep themselves in check. I created an early religious cosmological system for them and gave cultural significance to their plant's double star cycles. 2) are a raptor-like pack animal (I took corvid body language as inspiration) that thrive on a dog-eat-dog, rational altruism, Macchiavellian kind of philosophy. Sadly I got bored before getting them to Civ, but I planned an economics-focused, intensely adaptable and cunning culture. I also figured they'd use their huge but sensitive beaks as a third hand of sorts, and worked on some culturally universal pictograms emerging from their silhouette.

The game is already so expansive but at certain parts could use a bit of work to ground things better for our concious self.

Spore will always be my favourite game, not just for its customisation and generally chill feel, but the way it mixes science, comedy and philosophy into one and the ideals that Maxis had when they created the game. I feel that while Galactic Adventures is an amazing expansion and offers loads of adventures and hours upo nhours of content, they really should have made it at some point after they made an expansion focused on expanding the tribal, civilization and especially space stages. What I'd give for your own empire to be more fleshed out, starting trade on their own and having their own allied fleets/patrol ships and more to each archetype like a specific ending for each one that shows the ending of -your- species etching out their legacy amongst the stars instead of it just becoming find centre of galaxy done.

there's a game in beta called thrive on steam, apparently it's going to be similar to spore in that you evolve a creature through the stages of life. it seems to be much more detailed than spore and i'm super excited for it to come out!

You know, the fact that multiple species rise to sapience in planet Curious at the same time as the Curious Sapien, could explain why they develop tools like spears despite possesing a wide range of natural weapons. After all, if those sapients manage to arise at the same time as Curious Sapien, then they must be on par with them to have been able to compete for so long.

It's weird to me that people don't like the space era because that was my favorite part. I loved terraforming planets, and how different planets you encountered might be populated by other species you'd made.

Also, for early weapons, Curiousis Sapiens never seemed to devolve the spit venom, so they still have that going for them. Would they even need RANGED options if they have one built in?

while spore is quite generous with the range you have on your venom spitting since it'd be frustrating otherwise, it's likely that it wouldn't be too long-ranged in reality. combined with millions of years for other species to develop biological immunities (mongooses are resistant to cobra venom and have developed physical abilities that help avoid bites to begin with, as a real-world example) it's not impossible that they'd diversify. especially to hunt larger animals, animals with protected eyes/skin/etc.... or just other sapient creatures that are smart enough not to enter spitting range. it'd be neat though if you could, say, coat your spearheads with your creature's venom as a temporary buff, or poison a gift before sending it to weaken another tribe before you attack.

Let's goooo we got part 2!!!!! I know why people don't like later stages i like the first 3 stages Cell, Creture, trivale stage and you said you want more reaticst spore well my friend check out Thrive it only was cell stage but even that soo cool check it out it's a really good game it's on steam.

11:45 The desync between the in game cursor and the actual cursor is caused when you alt tab or minimise the game, swapping out and back into fullscreen mode should fix it (but can cause crashes). I use the alt-enter shortcut to swap between fullscreen and windowed mode instead of alt tabbing 👍 Great video btw

I would recommend looking into Thrive. It's a game currently in development that aims to be a more scientifically accurate version of Spore. Development is slow due to a lack of funds, but the Cell Stage is done really well.

I think Curiosis Sapiens would have developed and used spears because of the fact they can spit venom. I think one of them with a pike would be very formidable in a melee fight since they can spit venom in their opponents face aswell. Imagine fighting an army of them in phalanx, you meet a wall of spears and if you get too close one of them spits in your eyes, blinds you and sticks you. I imagine they could just straight up all be cavalry, human nomadic cultures were already very effective fighters and the fact no horses are needed, just heavy armour and a spear would turn one Curiosis Sapiens into a knight. It's why I love this game, so much stuff to ponder over during gameplay :D
