I haven't really gotten a feel for the average development level in the RP yet, but that is a distinct possibility. I intend to be a couple of steps below the average civ.

And I'll be discussing the zerg-like entity (for lack of a better term) in the near future and we'll get all that straightened out. If Duck wants something different I'll work with him on it, but as things stand right now what I said before is what I'm planning for them.
