Hard-drive reformatting.

I like your style Loki.

Yeah, its exactly like a sheep. Just flavor because I couldn't stand seeing sheep in hell. Some of the other resources that switch are dramatically different. In general hell resources offer more military benifit but less growth benefit.

My sheepzors are once again neglected and left to the likes of .....wolves.

i think i might just have to add that line to my sig

 

[eerr]

can you convert from basium to hybroreum and visa-versa?

 

[Chip56]

can you convert from basium to hybroreum and visa-versa?

I think that would only be possible if you found AV, switch to Hyborum, get order, switch to order and build the gate.
Almost impossible
But that would be a very interesting game

Nothing like a good ego stroking. But I didnt figure you one for "fads." My lines seem to be finding their way into many a signature - many times uncredited.

Then we start adding the damage type strengths, all modified by the opponents resistance. For your paladin we would skip all of these except for the holy check which would be: iCombat += 3 * (100 - -50); or += 3 * 150 or += 450.

Nice
Thanks for in-depth information!

Wow I hadn't anticipated that, I nearly bust a gut.

I salute you sir!

Uhm... What sig?

And a hearty laugh-out-loud from me, too. I tip my bonnet to you.

Personally, I prefer quoting bits of you not proofreading your posts enough

That screenshot had me foaming at teh bit for a go at "FIRE." i want next friday to come. (best of all, i have no school that day, so...)

Moer OT, will the rivers ever change art? rivers would not keep that nice clear blue tint when flowing through hell. the styx itself is a nice shade of greyish green...

 

[Morganknight]

Just curious,

How difficult would it be to create another set of resources to seed the map with that would only be revealed with the discovery of AV and would only be able to be worked once hellfire spread to their respective tiles?

And conversely, allow the normal resources to remain visible but unimprovable as long as the tiles they are on continue to be hellfire.

It just seems too convenient and illogical for a Wine resource to turn into Frogs or whatever...

random musings...

Ive been trying to figure out a way to do that. Unfortunatly there is only one "River" definition. I havent found a way to create another one and switch between the two.

You are the sole reason I proofread at all now. Or at least go back and edit. Unfortunately one...glaring example has excaped my grasp and has been made immortalized in your execrable John Hancock.

Uhm... What sig?

You're expecting someone who's name is "Loki" to actually do what he said he might do?

[Lord Yanaek]

Mhh, i suddenly thought of a very weird situation!

Imagine this : two human players (one of them being good or neutral) form a permanent alliance (a team). Now one of them founds the veil and summons Hyborem, he switches to Hyborem. Then, he contact his former friend and joins the alliance, forming a 3 player (1 AI) team. Hmm, thats a power team , but it will become really weird after that.
The second player (good or neutral) summons Basium. Basium will automatically form a team with his summoner, and since his summoner is in team with Hyborem, Basium will team with his mortal ennemy
We now have a 4 player (2AI) team with both Hyborem AND Basium in. What a weird ass kicking power-house

Do you plan something to prevent this? Probably someone who allies with hyborem could become evil, it would prevent him from summoning basium.

 

[Bad Player]

Do permanent alliances only allow 2 ppl in them?

The Alliances you can form normally yes.
But in wordl editor or otherwise you can form bigger alliances
