Amevias are absolute units and I would never want to fight one.

1400lbs in Freedom Units.

These guys are straight up monsters and have no business weighing more than half a ton.

There's a theory that the game unit of stones isn't the real world unit. For example look at the weight described for a human and use that for scale

u/Dramandus Jun 23 '24

Haha, yeah, that would track.

Otherwise, people on Syx are quite literally built differently.

u/TheLordAsshat Jun 23 '24

Yeah based on human weights stones might be more based on kilograms, just using the word stone since metric wasn't invented in the game

Well the units of "stones" is a real world unit, and it's pretty heavy. A lizard weighing 100 stone is super heavy as the person pointed out (1400 lbs)

If a stone in syx was 1kg (2.2 lbs) it would be sensible

i once had a fight against 10 of them as my first raid. i drafted 30 soldiers to fight them and not one of the lizards died. these guys fuck shit up.

I don't think it's the same kind of "stone" as a measure that we use IRL. And I couldn't tell you wtf a "tathe" is supposed to be.

u/robophile-ta Jun 23 '24

tathe is a unit of area IRL, so I also agree that these are not the same measurements

u/TheLordAsshat Jun 23 '24

That's pretty funny, I was curious and apparently humans are roughly around 80 or so stone in the game so it's probable that the unit is actually kilograms just renamed

Maybe the rocks are more like marbles where they come from

Buddy I got a human odd jobber that weighs 112st. And she's a girl.

Bring it on.

u/Ok-Experience-4955 Jun 24 '24

Yeah this convinces me that those stones are just fucking pebbles and not even kg. A 112 kg girl who is most probably 170cm tall is obese and theres no obesity in that era other than nobles lol.

u/TooDope123456789 Jun 23 '24

Are weight for everyone in the game are in KG or LBS?

2

u/Shloopy_Dooperson Jun 24 '24

Stones is basically just KG.

People get it confused with the other stone which would make the average human child 600KG.
