Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire is the first spinoff of the Ultima series by Origin Systems, using the Ultima VI engine. The same engine would later be used for Martian Dreams, and a third spinoff was planned about the Knights of the Round Table, but this was cancelled. All Worlds of Ultima spinoffs tell stories in separate worlds from Britannia, only tangentially related to the main Ultima continuity.Ultima VI ends with the protagonist, the Avatar, in possession of a moonstone orb that can open portals to other locations. An unknown outside influence uses the orb to draw him into the Valley of Eodon, a lush prehistoric landscape populated with tribes plucked from various locations and times in Earth's history, and all are under attack from a hivemind of insects known as the myrmidex. It quickly becomes clear that the humans aren't going to get anywhere without cooperating, so it falls to the Avatar to persuade each individual tribe to support him in a shared strike against the insects. Obviously, the tribes aren't too eager to join unless you do something for them first.Although Martian Dreams is more famous, Savage Empire already shows off the versatility of the engine, allowing you to use pretty much everything in the world. For example, you can get flax from a plant, use it on a loom to make cloth, use it with scissors to create cloth strips, and then dip these in a tar pool to create fuses for makeshift bombs. |

Arbitrary Skepticism |
| Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire (Video Game) / int_13eea985 |
comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Found in the hintbook. Jimmy the reporter, who narrates the walkthrough, is able to believe that an experiment performed on a magic stone brought him to a lost world inhabited by Mayincatec robots, sentient gorillas, lizard people, ancient force fields, snake centaurs, and Neanderthals. But the teleporter is obviously some kind of fake. |

Artistic License – Biology: You can gather flax from yucca plants and weave that into cloth. Even allowing for that this does not literally mean the flax plant but flax-like fibers, yucca plants do not have similar fibers that would be suitable for making cloth. |

Now, Where Was I Going Again?: The game allows the player to remember their progress by asking Jimmy about his notebook. He will tell you progress in each part of the main quest, listing each tribe and what needs to be done. |
