Wait a sec
Mt othrys is a great place
1, it only has a single entrance and exit
2, it contains spruce trees
2.1, spruce trees are fast-growing trees, meaning the ground must be very fertile
2.2, if it wasn’t, then it would give the slower growing shrubs and stuff time to compete, which isn’t the case here, so it’s great for growing crops
2.3, the fact that there can grow spruce trees so high up means it’s not that cold up there
3, “It’s over Anakin, I have the high ground!”
3.1, defenses
3.2, scouting
Othyrys is so tall that dark sea couldnt even reach it, same for literally any sky island
Well first of all,
- Atlanteans can climb endlessly,
- The trees can become infected and hazardous,
- It gives direct exposure to the rain,
- Infected ancient bears
say that to the lvl 160 atlantean that i effortlessly killed because it spams moves instead of climbing to get up the ledge that it has falled off of
how the fu-
inhale
the spruce trees are literally indestructable
also idk about you but thats LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE SHELTER AREA
Easy just how plants absorb water trees also do, so they could mutate
How do you think we got 12 ft tall trees made of metal
nice argument, however:
dark sea trees
no literally, dark sea trees
they dont look dangerous to me, after growing on magic polluted water their entire lives
also this made me realise just how little we expanded on the flora idea
Exactly mt others also might poke above the clouds and the bears wouldn’t be infected immediately and could be exterminated. Food is way more of a problem, with only mushrooms and insects (?) available, as fishing is supremely risky
The problem is that Othrys’s highest points above the clouds are snow capped, and I don’t think they have anything able to grow in that area, much less live in it that can be eaten really
Brother have you read my arguments
Ok then so mount othrys is perfect
the fact that unrivaled islands exist in the dark sea disproves this
Say whatever you want but warding 6 build makes you fully immune to whatever the dark sea has (except random rage of zeus)
i more meant that the dark sea stretches well above othrys ingame, but if you want then you can go to othrys in nimbus sea and climb the stone peak
it remains in the dark sea
Nets and pulleys.
Map is messed up in that place, its pretty easy to survive it too
LIMB LOSS!
BLEEDING!
Imagine loosing limg to a Zeus, couldnt be me
So mount others is op all survivors can survive there easy
Basically yes, whatever this doofus say are pretty much dumb
Trees don’t become infected, some might fall to strong winds or something, but new ones can still grow nonetheless
Mutated ancient bears is possible, but they’ll most likely attack the atlanteans nonetheless, both atlanteans & bears have a similar mind, thje one of an animal, just that the atlantean might be more aggresive.
The form of othrys makes it impossible to climb, the slopes are outwards not inwards, and they can get tired, they don’t just climb ‘‘endlessly’’ just because they do that in game (if it was that then all the NPCs, including the frail castaways could do that)
it’d be interesting to see how long it would take any flying atlanteans/sirens to breach anti-air defenses of Mounth Orthrys encampments, considering the sheer length of the island and area required to cover
Ravenna style Polybolos siege defense weapon maybe?
