Footfall: Difference between revisions

* [[Humans Through Alien Eyes]]: The fithp reflexively remain submissive once they've surrendered to an opponent. They find it difficult to understand beings that will pick themselves up after a defeat and come back for a rematch.

* [[Insufficiently Advanced Alien|Insufficiently Advanced Aliens]]: If the fithp hadn't had a Precursor artifact handy to tell them how to build stuff, they probably would still have been at the hunter-gatherer stage of civilization.

* [[Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better]]: The primary weapons of the fithp are described as "crowbars dropped from orbit". For that matter, the personal weapons used by them are just scaled up versions of ordinary machine guns.

* [[Language Equals Thought]]: The fithp language makes extensive use of inherent plurals, for example fithp (which means tribe or group or herd) and fi' (which means a person). This fact reflects a lot about basic fithp psychology.
