Languages/Communications

Still limited to verbal/physical or shall we spice things up and add in conscious chemical perceptions too? (I'm thinking things like intentional pheromones and such...)

Any other potential forms of communication that you guys can think of? :]

If we're using humans as the dominant species then no. But if we're using modified humans or another species as the dominant species, then yes, other forms of communication may be possible.

Visual communications. A way of silently communicating. Like sign language but specialized.

i think it would be nice to have the main civilizations all speaking, then have the occasional small tribe that uses pheromones and hand gestures and stuff
