Ukase Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 So, maybe I am out of my gourd. But I'm not out of Nectanabo's Gourd. Who is Nectanabo? Is he/she/it a farmer? Do they grow gourds? I don't recall any CoT mission mentioning this Nectanabo. Is there a story arc I've missed out on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srmalloy Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 It's kind of funny reading the names of the enhancements, and imagining what characters would look like if they actually had the thing being described -- Blasters with their head covered with Benedict Tech Telescoping Eyes, Controllers staggering around under piles of Li Ten Kueh's magical crap, getting knocked back into a wall and all of their Nectanebo's Gourds bursting into a cloud of magic dust... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-Six Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Here's a bit of a back story: These people are from the Dani tribe in Irian Jaya, the Indonesian half of Papua New Guinea. Those orange "carrot tips" stemming from the bottom centre of both pictures is part of their "armour" and is made from hollowing out dried gourds. This is what they protect: Hence to venture into battle or even into the forest/jungle "out of your gourd" is something ill-adviced among the tribe. 2 My Toons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BraveDecoy Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 There were two Egyptian pharaohs named Nectanebo who made up the 30th (and last) ruling dynasty, before outside kingdoms came in and conquered the area around 342 BC. The in game Nectanebo may have been one of those two pharaohs, but also was one of the early great mages and teacher of magical arts. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Ingame_References Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clave Dark 5 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 If they were so great, especially that second mage guy, why were they the last ruling dynasty huh?

I suppose Nectanebo's in (or out of) the same bind as he seems to be losing his all the time. In any case, I've come across a few life hacks that may or may not work for your friend if he still can't find the right one for "his little friend": 1) Duct Tape 2) Porn 3) O Rings 4) More duct tape Also might be good to stay away from cold places. 1 My Toons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because Nectanebo slotted for Resist Damage instead of Resist Invasion which falls under defenses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the game know it's Nectanabo's Gourd, and why is it telling you? Because it wants you to travel back to 342BC and return the Gourd. For some reason.... a reason that could change HISTORY ITSELF!111 1 ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.
