Well, no, you could just create fictional wars over the land or something. Anything is possible. Your creations don't necessarily have to be in the same "now"; One culture in a place could be during a certain "ancient" time, then another in that same place at a later time (think of the middle east!). I don't think it would be reasonable to get malat into this universe, since it's a totally regular, and thus a little unnatural. Besides I have no ideas on where it would be put, and why there'd be a perfectly regular language. Good luck on this alternate universe, sounds pretty cool to me! -- -Time is what keeps everything from happening at once. -Garrett Jones aka Alkaline Rising Sun - C&C2: Tiberian Sun - http://www.cnc2.com/ Malat - http://www.metro.net/3jones/malat/
