Knowing language allow us to work in specialized biome

I suggest if we can fully understand language we can work in their family biome. They could have advantage (blacks immune to heat, browns to mosquitos and gingers to cold), so we'll be worse workers, but the restriction won't be so annoying and the value of families with language wisdom will increase.

The pale ones could be the teachers, not only translators. Also I suggest they can be riders, so the horse near pales won't be running.

I like this idea, gives long families lineages a purpose to learn all the languages.


I'm Slinky and I hate it here.

Re: Knowing language allow us to work in specialized biome

As far as I know, the special biomes do not belong to certain families but do belong to certain types of families. Or „races“ if you want to call it that way. So why would you gain general access to a race specific biome only because you understand the language of one single family of that race? Or are languages race bound instead of family bound?

Also, there is no direct connection between speaking a language and being able to survive in environments. For example, just because I speak Nigerian, it does not mean that I can survive in an African desert.

I like the basic idea though that you can somehow achieve the ability to access those biomes either over time or by doing something special, e.g. wearing an astronaut suit.

Re: Knowing language allow us to work in specialized biome

The white's have no special biome, so they speak all languages, would whites have to wait the normal amount of time for other families? Or would they be working in all biomes immediately?


You are amazing, you are loved, and have a good day to whoever might read this <3

I think it would be fair to stop them from ever accessing special biomes.


There ability is already quite powerful in bell towns. It is easy enough to ask the other families to get what you need.


As anyone else you will probably need a tool slot to write a note to others.




Be cool if they could teach languages to other families.

Re: Knowing language allow us to work in specialized biome

Logically they should, but they would be too powerful then. Their presence should give others bonus to learning language.

Biological difference means different races.

Because you still need to stick with them, Jason won't cancel the update and idea about clothes for biomes means you won't need other races. If you understand them you'll know how to survive in their enviroment.
