sorry if you've answered this before, but what's the general prey - pred percentage in TSOAE?
I don't think i have! You might be the first to ask about the world building in The Start of an Empire!
Let's see. Well. Predators are a subsection of a species of Giants. For the Giants I would say for every 1 giant, there is about..... 500 humans? So Giants make up 0.2% of the population.
For predators, they are a percentage of those giants. And I would say that for every 20 giants there is 1 predator.
So for every 10,000 humans there is 1 predator.
So predators are 0.01% of the total population.
A giant on its own isn't that uncommon, but a predator is quite rare. (Though people who don't know better might think all giants are predators simply due to the amount of attention a pred giant can get)
