To be frank, I'm actually not super scared of this exact incarnation of the Mushroom states.
In fact, Orks being Orks we may get along... better than one would expect, if still poorly (Only War here yo)
Why do you scream friend? You're the Orks with a K! All that this means is that there's always a good Krump right around the corner.
Besides, it's not like you could get stuck in a long running conflict with anyone and spawn a new race that'll turn around and try to eat the world. Right?

You know, if I got to play as the ND in a hypothetical merge scenario I would be...
Very okay with that. I'd stop being scared of everything, for starters.
You lot would be scared of me.

We do deserve to exist.
The Orks aren't a species designed for being passive. Their entire nature is dedicated to fighting, and generally fighting offensively. They wouldn't care about how outgunned they are anyway. They don't fear like people do.
Plus, if you want to survive the big fish, best thing to do is expand and eat all the nearby little fish. That gives you territory for new Orks to sprout from and get you more Boyz, which lets you fight more, letting Orks snowball.
Well it's good to know that that makes two of us.
Very good, very good; quivering in fear of everything is not a way to live.
Us my dear boy, us.
Everyone would end up trying it out.
But why stop, when there's so many possibilities to examine?
I'm glad your group has finally figured out quality prosthetic; live is no fun when you're missing a limb.

The value of a Wäddleheim engineer is determined by the amount of missing limbs.
An engineer, yes, but what about your basic civvie or foot soldier?

Yeah, but everything is death.

Oh right. Orks. Snowballing is kind of my thing. Not sure what drugs I was on before.
That would work. More likely we'd both die to it as an NPC though.

A planet filled with eternal war against new and challenging opponents and where melee combat is a big thing? I'm pretty sure that's ork heaven.
Seconding this. You're in heaven my boy.
Yeah, I'm not sure why you only had one research project. I mean, just steal some projects from Red Flag's old Ork Quest, or the newer one. He's given permission for people to use stuff from his works if I'm remembering right. (might wanna double check that)
It would depend on whether or not we get joint custody of the baby or if we're stuck as parents. If we get join custody then we'll be eating the world sooner rather than later. If we're the parents then yeah, we be dead through parricide.

An important thing to remember when playing as the Orks. Don't think like a person. Think like a monster.
No New Devourer. For one thing, that took decades of full stalemate combat between the Orks and Tyranids before it came about.
Second, the liquid nature of the ND's style of warfare would make it an absolute pain to try to use here. Both to play as, and to GM.
Also,
Can I get a summary of these various nations and what they're like? And what's on Not-Safelord?
(If you don't mind could you make an underdark layout map? I'll populate it myself)
(Also just going to copypast safelord wholesale from the past game)
And, er, how do I make an Underdark map? I suck at making maps.

Still really want to send a message to the Orks that boils down to "Do you still fear the name Nikula from the last time we krumped ya? NOW GET OVUH HERE AND FOIGHT ME INNA PROPA SCRAP!"
Of course, since we're so far apart from one another right now, I wouldn't be surprised if your response was "NO, YOU GET OVUH HERE AND FOIGHT ME INNA PROPA SCRAP!"
Welp, can't be any worse than the Bork.

You made one before.
Not-safelord has the exact same stuff as safelord with fewer crossover elements.
Because it's alt safelord.
Mekron is an automaton founded state.
Kamadi is a Varhuadin dominated theocratic republic.
Harapakili is Canceri dominated and is a plutocratic oligarchy.
Jumpriki is an enlightened monarchial Anguilian country.
Istrakhan is a trading post colony of Vladinaslav.
Ramadine is a Mazdakist Zarxozin state.
Potemk is a Dwarven dominated country while Zhafari is dominated by Zuktri.
Utrankat is a dark elf station; though they've made agreements with the locals to raid elsewhere and help protect against the frost-folk in exchange for helping the Dark Elves arm their fleet.

Yeah, but I like living and it sounds like the average local gust of wind could wipe half my army.
Wait, how many projects can we have? It doesn't say on the front.
And it's a bit late to wonder about taking inspiration from it, considering the Tyrant.
Gitstompa at home, and more pertinently Skullkrak himself acted and thought like monsters because they had huge relative power, and doing so played to their strengths.
They had armies vaster than anyone else, and their bullshit was unrivaled. They could take and take and crush and kill with no repercussions because they were monsters.
Gitstompa here? Can not. He must rely on quality to beat armies of superior quantity that are nevertheless threatening, and his bullshit is outshone by the numerous magicians. He is also a speck compared to the Great Powers, but any Level 0 Warboss knows that feeling.
In short, I can't play like normal Orks. I have to do things differently, because conditions are very different. I can't play TBSL if I'm Krork, and I can't play normal Orks when I'm the highest tech fewest number faction tier.

You've played Stellaris right?
Think of the NPCs on the map as Fallen Empires, and the really big things like the Totenkopfs as end game crises; and the early game enemies as those annoying space fauna and pirates who seem to exist for the sole purpose of making surveying the galaxy a PITA.
