| Dota 2: Open Role Playing Game (by andreariona)
<<Dota 2: Open Role Playing Game is a Warcraft III multiplayer map that I developed for fun. Perhaps this may sound absurd, but I got a random idea to develop Dota 2 in orpg version, I thought of typical but fun gameplay with fancy graphic. I'm making this map as a fanmade of the original game Dota 2 that developed by Valve, no copyright infringement intended.>>

| Brownscape: Torment (by Rao Dao Zao)
<<It's built on the RdzPG (or rDZpg?) platform -- it is systematically a This Wreckage clone, focusing on a single central hero in an open-ish world with indoor and outdoor areas, sword and shield and item stacking systems, and so on.
Lash, the Outcast, lives on the edge of a fortress town in the middle of the desert. He is a Shul'kra -- a dusky, chitinous biped, a "Child of Shul". Exiled for his delving into the ways of magic, in a society that hates magic, he is nonetheless allowed to continue living in the vicinity of the oasis: for even the most callous Shul'kra know that sending anyone into the open desert means certain death.>>

Starcraft II developers are now
answering questions reaching back to Wings of Liberty!
An answer would be:
Question: How did the Terrans enjoy such rapid population growth and colonization of the Koprulu sector when all they had to work with were four broken-down ships? According to the lore, four ships containing 40,000 humans crash-landed and established three colonies in 2259.The events of StarCraft 1 occur in ~2500.Yet it seems like the Confederacy/Dominion are full empires with many worlds and billions of residents. For instance, Tarsonis had at least two billion. No matter how I figure survival and reproduction rates, I just can't see how it makes sense.
Answer: This is an excellent question, and one that has been discussed internally for several years. I've always said that these were four crashed colony ships. So while much of their technology was lost, there were certainly means to ensure a foothold on a new, hostile planet – frozen embryos, frozen fertilized eggs, certainly extensive cloning. There were also methods of boosting food production to support explosive population growth. Mmm, tasty nutrient paste! One tablespoon does you for the whole day!
Because this tech was harnessed by survivors who only had a fraction of their intended equipment, it was lost 50 or so years after planetfall. But that was enough to swell the starting figures quite a bit. Let's suppose those starting figures get us up to 400,000 within 30 years of crashing. (Ambitious, I know, but a civilization that can build massive interstellar ships could certainly create such tech.) We should assume that for the first five or six generations, there was enormous social pressure (if not legal) on all fertile adults to spawn as many offspring as possible. Families of ten or more children. By the third or so generation, infant mortality rates might have risen a bit as the old tech broke down, but they would have dropped again as the colonists rebuilt their technological infrastructure. Now the numbers start to make sense.
