Title: Wich Doctrine goes with who?? Post by: Obsidian Razor on December 26, 2005, 10:24:50 pm OK now... wich doctrine goes with wich type of Ur-Quan??
Because I always thought that the "Eternal Doctrine" was that of the Khor-Ah and the "Path of Now And Forever" the one of the Kher-Za, however, I'm translating the game and I found that in the Khor-Ah text files, the Khor-Ah refer to their path as the "Path of Now And Forever". If you need proof: Quote No, it is not. There is more you must hear. When the war was over, the great Kohr-Ah rose from our ranks and declared the Path of Now and Forever. We would cleanse the galaxy. No one would ever threaten the Ur-Quan this way again. There are more examples of this... Now, can anybody clear this please? Title: Re: Wich Doctrine goes with who?? Post by: Zeep-Eeep on December 27, 2005, 12:50:50 am As I understand it, the two Ur-Quan types both
follow The Path Of Now and Forever. This docterine basically states that the two sub-species will travel around, knocking other aliens out of compitition. Then, when the two sub-races meet, they fight for domination. I think I'm summerizing a bit too much. Where the races differ is in how they go about securing their place in the cosmos. The green guys enslave other races, the black guys kill everyone. Both are doing it for similar reasons, the continuing existance of the Ur-Quan race. They just handle the details differently.

It's possible that this is because it translates from a more cool/dignified/correct sounding phrase in the Ur-Quan language.
The Kohr-Ah never call the Kzer-Za path anything so far as I know; but the Kzer-Za call the Kohr-Ah path the Eternal Doctrine. Title: Re: Wich Doctrine goes with who??

Post by: Culture20 on December 29, 2005, 12:20:33 am I'm quite sure the Kohr-Ah follow "The Path of Now and Forever" and the Kzer-Za follow the "Eternal Doctrine". And I'm absolutely sure that Death999 is correct. This has been posted on the PONAF message boards before, as well as on the old TW forums (twice). It might have also been mentioned here, but I'm too lazy to search.Title: Re: Wich Doctrine goes with who?? Post by: Obsidian Razor on December 29, 2005, 08:35:34 am Thanks guys, that was helpful. As I said, I'm working in a translation and that got me pretty confused ^^

Melnorme doctrine?"Profitable under all circumstances" ;D Title: Re: Wich Doctrine goes with who?? Post by: Stonehead on January 01, 2006, 02:42:58 pm no, I meant that they tell you differently about UrQuan doctrines. Ur-quan tell you that Khor-Ah have "Now anfd Forever" doctrine and Melnomore tell you that it's Khzer-Za's doctrine. or something like that. :D
Title: Re: Wich Doctrine goes with who?? Post by: Krulle on January 01, 2006, 09:34:19 pm Oh, sorry, misunderstood you.
Thanks for clarifying this. Thought you may have disremembered the other Ur-Quans name.... Well, Happy New Year then! Krulle |
