#QUAKE 4 STROGG GENERATOR#
#QUAKE 4 STROGG MANUAL#

The major problem with the compatibility between Quake 2 and 4 is that the writers of the latter seem to have lacked a sense of time and scale, this relates to point C, evidently a great deal of time has passed, should have passed, but according to the wiki Kane is 23 and he took part in the Strogg invasion of Earth and some months later the second phase of operation AO takes place, this is strange given the major diffrences in Human and Strogg technology and doctorine in all three games. It probably has a greater ability to survive than the human commander gives it credit for.Ĭ: It is obvious that some time has passed between Q2 and Q4, The TMC has undergone administrative changes(The creation of the SMC), the humans have developed a method of space travel that does not require wormholes, they have refined the Blaster, they have new spaceships, the Strogg have a new Makron, they have rebuilt a great deal of the infrastructure that was destroyed in the first invasion and they too have developed new weapons(Dark matter gun, the nailgun, new types of Strogg).

I belive it is reconcilable if we take into account thatĪ: The manual is possibly written from the humans perspective and the information therin is from human theories on how the Strogg operate, if it is, then the information on Stroggos and Strogg command structure is probably to a large part speculation and incorrect conclusions from the data availible to them, the have, as far as we know, never been to Stroggos before.ī: A large part of Strogg infrastructure is placed underground or in thickly armoured buildings, So yeah, Quake 2 crippled, if not wiped out entirely, the Strogg race, which Quake 4 ignored and added new tech to the Strogg side There is also the ending of the Quake 2 Mission Pack Ground Zero which shows that almost all life on Stroggos was wiped out This would remove any chance Stroggos has for creating a well-organised strike or defensive position.' Losing him would leave the Strogg confused and in turmoil as the Warlords battle internally to determine a successor.

He commands Stroggos from within the palace city located at the northern end of Cerberon. A single leader, called the Makron, is chosen from the Warlords. Each is given strategic locations to command and control.

There is also the thing you said, that the Humans shouldn't even be able to use FTL after the black hole generator in Cerberon was destroyed.įor a little detail on the Strogg political set up, as said in the Quake 2 manual, 'The Strogg civilization is governed through a system of Warlords. They also no longer leave corpses when they die, but instead disintegrate for some reason. Instead they just instantly got a new, stronger Makron. Suddenly a giant machine that is the only thing keeping all the Strogg forces communicating with each other is made between the games, when the Strogg had no need of it during Q2Īlso, despite losing their leader, most of their production and material transportation capacity, their main anti-orbital system, a massive number of soldiers, the capital city's main reactor, and various other sections of the city, the Strogg were able to not only able to keep fighting effectively, but ignore the fact that their warlord based political hierarchy lost its top man, along with several lesser warlords all died, which should have resulted in internal fighting to get a new leader. Click to shrink.The biggest thing is that nowhere in Quake 2 is the Nexus mentioned at all.
