Culture

Known as "ඇබුල් හොර කහ - ambul hora kaha" in Sinhala.

gollark: Don't they have a maximum velocity or something?
gollark: Yes.
gollark: The biter swarms mostly only went after radar (peaceful mode) and artillery, so biters would frequently just ablate all the radar on some of the rail lines to faraway sites while going after artillery stations.
gollark: Well, the spiderbots were more for nearby nests, artillery stuff had laser turrets.
gollark: There were frequently biter incursions (peaceful mode, but we deployed MUCH artillery) so I frequently had to send in spiderbots to pacify them.
