Talk:Krall

Some properties viewable from UnrealEd uses the word "Kraal" instead of "Krall". Is there any info about these names? I believe the Krall were originally called Kraal (double 'a' as in Skaarj), and that was the Skaarj name that was given to their slaves. But then someone from Epic decided that it didn't sound too good and changed it into Krall? GreatEmerald 2008-02-27T18:07:50


 * "Kraalbolt", for instance? Texcarson 11:48, 27 February 2008 (EST)


 * I always figured it's indeed just an old name for the Krall, and guessed Googling "Kraal Unreal" would be helpful, and I immediately found an article on Unreal's AI by Steven Polge, dated 1998-07-01. I suppose it's worth a mention in this article's Trivia section. Retodon8 14:13, 27 February 2008 (EST)


 * Yes, this site even gives a theory on why the name has changed! But I wonder if the black Krall in the Unreal Beta weren't the real Kraal? --GreatEmerald 11:27, 28 February 2008 (EST)

Now I wonder about their relationship with Skaarj and Izarians. My theory would be this: there are different clans of Skaarj in U1 and U2 (and probably UT2004). The first clan likes Krall for soldiers and have different social groups: warriors, Assasins, Infantry etc. while the 2nd clan likes Izarians and have only 3 classes. The UT2004 clan(s) is(are) very small and don't have any social groups (maybe only a Lord and others). So that means that Krall and Izarians are simply used by different clans and are both in the universe. Wonder what happens if you throw an Izarian and a Krall in one pit. Actually, I could check that out depending on their health, fire power and speed :) And what do you think? --GreatEmerald 16:49, 21 May 2008 (EDT)
