I kind of like the hivers and find them interesting, but I have a serious question about them and their early civillization.
Specifically, how did they communicate on a large scale in early days when hivers have no voices?
Human sound based communication is good as it allows one to adress many, and you can listen while looking at somethign else, walking,, working, etc.
Now, without voices how did hivers communicate? I understand there's touching, writing and sign language, but how did they communicate in over a large area or to many at once? Primitive billboards? Writng on mountainsides? I'm not sure how their communication facillitated large scale communication and public adress.
I wonder, could the early hivers have developed something like primitive musical instruments, or at least noisemakers, they used to sound alarms, call groups together, etc. Could early hivers have developed a sort of big steam organ or something to communicate over an area, and developed for all intents a musical language?
I'm just curious and trying to understand the game, including a race I think is cool from what I know so far.
BTW, while I'm asking about alien races, someone said that aslan were like TNG klingons in lion costumes/ How true or false is that?
