Age of Wonders: Planetfall - Faction Spotlight: Kir'Ko

Welcome to the Age of Wonders: Planetfall Faction Spotlight on the Kir'Ko! With a sense of lost unity from their shattered hive mind, the Kir'ko have a choice to make: retribution or reconciliation.

No White Whales, we've got Octowhales in Planetfall

No, Tibbles is correct, Tomipapa posted the icon for one secret tech, while Tibbles posted an icon for another.

I think that the people who made the video switched leaders at some point, so some of the screen shots are showing a slightly different tech tree,

Just as in AoW 3 you could make an elf dreadnought, but lore wise, it was a human thing.

It wasn't a human thing, it was a goblin thing. All of them were originally invented by goblins, in fact. The other races just stole it all then acted like the Goblins were the bad guys to hide the fact.

Merlin was actually a goblin who wore stilts and put on a false beard because it was the only way the other, bigoted races would take him seriously.

So, on the topic of the thread, how many Kir'ko units are, in lore, sentient and sapient? All the techs are named as "X caste", implying that all the unit types are genetically Kir'ko, but normal kir'ko, like frenzied and hidden, are sentient individuals. They get to be heroes, after all. But what about the other, more monstrous units? Are Tormented capable of holding a conversation? Are ravenous?

I've passed this question on! Hopefully this will get answered in the Kir'ko dev journal
