oh, like the mini-bosses in the binding of isaac?EDIT:alright kalama, this is what i think. I, now, do not have time to go back to your previous posts, since you summed it up. ill use your more recent ones.(I use rhetorical questions because they are supposed to make a point)so, lets say, as said by nuju metru, there are about 1,500 to 2,000 inhabitants. that makes 1750, IMO (its like when i microwave soup, if it says 2-4 minutes, then I do the middle of that )alright. so lets assume that he meant the npc population, so that number does not include any PC's. since if we divided that equally by all 7 koro, we would get 250 per koro. but all koro's are not equal. since xa-koro probably has a smaller population that the other koro's ill just dvide that by half, making 125, then divide that by the other six koro. that makes roughly 21 per other koro, so we add 21 to alll koro populations other than xa-koro (i'm assuming xa-koro has a smaller population, due to rahi attacks, murders, and other crimes, drawing and/or murdering some of the inhabitants)making (remember this a very rough estimate) 271 per koro. now, lets see thorugh the eyes of your average ta-matoran npc.he owns a hut near the wall. he has some basic training with the guard, because of frequent rahi attacks that season. his occupation is a lava farmer, so he harvests lava, cools it (making useful soil) and sells it to le, ga, and onu-matoran. every day, he goes to a small fenced in property he owns, not too far from the village gate, and drains lava. he cools it, does other lava farming stuff, then packs his soil into bags and ships them to merchants and such. lets say that there is a large rahi assault (may happen every couple years) and it breaks throught the guard's line. even thought multiple player's pcs attack the rahi, helping out to defend their homes, businesses, dignity, honor, allies, and friends. but it isnt enought. this ta-koroan is considered poor, and if he loses his land, home,etc. he will be in big debt, and have a setback in his business for the next few months, to maybe even a year, depending on damage. this is all he has, and he doesn't want to lose it. does he just sit back, look out the window, drink some tea, and then wait to get mauled by a nui jaga? no! And dont think that makuta wouldn't kill or hurt nonfighting matoran like in that rhetorical scenario because, if he gets to them, he will capture them, and brainwash them, until none are left! If a village gets to a point in an attack, where it is an extremely larger force than usual, enough to get past the village defences, then i assume the staff will have the npc villagers get up and defend themselves. and also, take into account all the pcs that would be sitting there killing time in ta-koro, waiting for something to cure their boredom?and also, do you think that a staff member would drag eveyrone in a koro into the 2nd-OPTION rpg then they would be putting all those who just wanted their own plots into something, with high mortality rates., surrounded by high odds and makuta infected rahi? this isnt military conquest, kalama. about you talking about rahkshi. sure, makuta could unleash them on a village, but:1: makuta wants the matoran alive! sure, he might kill some, (especially the ones that are fighting him)2: you make a point saying that rahkshi, beasts that owneded toa nuva, wouldn't be stopped by a handful of matoran, but anyway, this is why hehasnt unleashed large (or any) rahkshi against the villages. because even ta-koro canon-wise could not be saved by the guard and two nuvas against 3 rahkshiis that all? sorry for overreacting. and the rushed-ness
