Governments in Blades of Avernum
Mab Shock Trooper Member # 136	written Tuesday, March 13 2007 09:47 Profile Homepage #16 quote: Rome had just fallen, and there wasn't really a sense of landed aristocracy, and so the Emperors instead ruled mostly through trained bureaucrats. The decendants of these bureaucrat became the nobility later on. This would seems to hint that the surface Empire in the games is not as old as it claims to be, since it relies more on Imperial law and professionals rather than tradition and lineage. Interesting. The Emperors of China ruled on top of a bureaucratic system for more than a thousand years. I wouldn't call that a lack of tradition and lineage :D Also, the Spanish Empire governed America from the European metropolis: even viceroys were Spaniard noblemen covering an assignment for some years, not the children of a local aristocracy ruling for their lifetime. Spain itself was different, with the succesive Kings still fighting for increasing their imperial power against the old feudal priviledges. Just think, most rebellions in these age were led by some nobleman or another, specially those that fought for "people's" rights and not for pure hunger.

Empire Archives A2 in The Avernum Trilogy
Mab Shock Trooper Member # 136	written Wednesday, March 7 2007 10:04 Profile Homepage #3 In Exile 2, the Empire Archives were at the most NE of the Northern Islands, N of Pyrog's Cave and the Empire Docks, all of them NE of Harston. And, though the dungeon will be somewhat different, you can still have a look to the Exile 2 Empire Archives walkthrough and the Exile maps Posts: 253 \| Registered: Tuesday, October 9 2001 07:00
Graphics request in Blades of Avernum
Mab Shock Trooper Member # 136	written Sunday, January 28 2007 13:32 Profile Homepage #3 Hm, somewhere in Avernum 2 the party finds a fresco with the Empire crown symbol, plus an horizontal sword under it. In E2, the sword was over the crown and both combined to form the symbol. Anyway, have a look at these carpets. Different crowns and combinations, only a little faded: Posts: 253 \| Registered: Tuesday, October 9 2001 07:00

Ode to BoE in Blades of Avernum
Mab Shock Trooper Member # 136	written Saturday, December 30 2006 07:22 Profile Homepage #6 The Knights Who Say Ni! Scenarios, more than a dozen still there, and half of them by Brave Sir Robin himself. :P Graphics (many of them because BSR knew how to flatter a lady) ;) And a small succession of websites, most of them dead by haxoring. :( And why does Zxquez stand alone? He was one of the Knights (So was TM, but Zxquez kept being, IIRC). Posts: 253 \| Registered: Tuesday, October 9 2001 07:00

#%@# Bugs! in Blades of Exile
Mab Shock Trooper Member # 136	written Saturday, December 2 2006 07:48 Profile Homepage #3 Destroy Items is buggy, but it still works for 1-tile spots, just make sure you input correctly the required coordinates. For example, for location 20,42, it wold be Top 42, Left 20, Bottom 42, Right 20. Item Class on Space? (and take), on the other hand, works fine IIRC. If still doubtful, you can always search in any of the "reported bugs" lists in the community. Most ancient ones are Spiderweb's Scenario Editor Bugs Page and Things That Don't Work at The Lyceum.

Erika, fungus and a record to set straight. in The Avernum Trilogy
Mab Shock Trooper Member # 136	written Monday, November 27 2006 05:39 Profile Homepage #2 I'd say Erika had been working on underground flora from long before being exiled, or, if not, she knew something about it. Maybe she did it alone, maybe she had help from some other archmages. Why so? There was an Erika in the Quartet (not Triad here) of Skylark Vale School of Magery. Just see the signs at the NE corner of the Lecture Halls in the VoDT scenario (town #12). And there are cave trees in the caves under the Vale, which isn't a part of Exile.

Sorry I need help again!!! in The Exile Trilogy
Mab Shock Trooper Member # 136	written Tuesday, September 12 2006 07:28 Profile Homepage #2 If you are talking about the Portal Fortress in Exile II, have a look at this. But try it only if you you both talked to Pyrn and have Sulfras' Onyx Scepter. Otherwise, if you try to close the Portal, you are dead. Posts: 253 \| Registered: Tuesday, October 9 2001 07:00
Relative ages? in The Avernum Trilogy
Mab Shock Trooper Member # 136	written Wednesday, September 6 2006 22:40 Profile Homepage #5 Still, there was an Erika among the staff of the Skylark Vale school. A center closed 130 years before BoA. And she is quite possibly the very same Erika in Avernum, for one of the "crafts" in the School of Magery was cave trees, one of the things the five gave to the avernites.

Need help in 'At the Gallows' in Blades of Exile
Mab Shock Trooper Member # 136	written Thursday, July 27 2006 09:39 Profile Homepage #1 IIRC, you must first ask Follower Jarn about "Alda" (the recruiter about whom Captain Wester told you in Fort Lemmix), then go to the store and ask Knox about "recruitment".

Mab Shock Trooper Member # 136	written Tuesday, March 28 2006 08:35 Profile Homepage #15 Pyrulen: Geocities adds javascript of its own to my simple FrontPage compositions. The site doesn't rely on cookies ... that I know. 'Scads of Gold' are lots of gold coins, packed in thick heaps along with other treasure. Good for dragons' troves or peregrination temples' vaults. :D Lenar Labs: I've often thought of The Louvre, but the pics I once sent as JPGs didn't work well, and converting my workies into 256-colors-GIFs kinda of breaks my heart. :o [ Wednesday, March 29, 2006 03:50: Message edited by: Mab ] Posts: 253 \| Registered: Tuesday, October 9 2001 07:00
