Wonder a civilization that discovers complex numbers before naturals, with naturals showing up to count the turns.

If hexagons can claim to be bestagons complex numbers have a legit claim at best numbers.

A huge amount of math unlocked the minute mathematicians started taking complex numbers seriously. Ideally they would be an earlier discovery, I agree!
