The Monolith is a pretty cool looking power and building in Worldbox, located within the "Other Various Powers" tab. It is possibly one of the most mysterious things in Worldbox.
Game Description "?.?"
Description[]
It appears to be a tall shiny black pillar surrounded by heightened rocks, making it look like it made an impact upon it's surroundings.
During the in-game month of Monolith (the equivalent of the real-life month of April), it begins an animation where it has a red pulsing spot in the center of the pillar.
Effects[]
The monolith does nothing... yet
Trivia[]
- Added in version 0.22.0.
- Appears in a sneak peak from 4/1/24.
- It is likely a reference to the Sci-fi 1968 movie "2001: A Space Odyssey", a highly critically-acclaimed movie.
- It is also likely that this may be an April Fools joke, considering that it's true usage is obscure, and that it pulses on the in-game version of April.
- Some people use the Monolith as a marker for where an important event happened, such as the death of a King/Queen or a favorited unit.
- It is also a possible reference to Elinson's novel ("I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" ) or based off the video game's version of AM which the video game also goes by the novels name.
- The first 4 colors from the "rocks" around the monolith match with the color of bones from orc buildings.
