The main advantage of flying creatures is that you would have to use flying or missile weapons creatures to attack them if they were intelligent. No intelligent flying magic using creature is going to close with a guardian with a giant sword and heavy armor or a battle beta-- if they can just fry them from a distance. It might be nice to have some missile type combats with barriers to close in combat. This might make it necessary to have a more mixed group of creatures-- some distance attackers and some not. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

I played Geneforge 1 & 2 and Avernum. I also am playing Baldurs Gate right now. I should finish it pretty soon. I'm going to start Baldurs Gate 2. Lets see I play Backgammon on Pogo-- at the master level (no cheats.) If you want a good backgammon simulator-- to learn how to play pretty good get Jellyfish Backgammon -- a neural net backgammon program. -------------------- The Universe Never Did Make Sense; I Suspect It Was Built On A Government Contract- Robert Heinlein Posts: 1084 | Registered: Thursday, November 7 2002 08:00 |

What a nice thought unfortunately a nice bureaucracy does not make for good government necessarily. Part of the problem is that any financial solution we try to implement will not work within the religious framework of Islam. They simply do not use the system of credit or spending we do. Islamic banks are not the same under Sharia. So we bring in people to put in a financial system that are corrupt automatically because they are acting against the majority religion and often are employing corrupt factions. The position is further exacerbated by the fact that wealth is not measured in cash so much in the middle east as land, assets, hard currency, and other less liquid things than electronic transactions, bonds, and stocks which are basically illegal under muslim law. Most of this kind of wealth is concentrated in families who own the land. There is not a lot of liquid wealth except "oil". Land reform would enrage most of the richer populace because wealth is measured in land and hard assets. The problem is how do you introduce manufacturing, a non-corrupt civil service, and land reform without using a western style credit system to create jobs for large amounts of people. Apparently the fundamentalists think they can solve this by creating muslim states. -------------------- The Universe Never Did Make Sense; I Suspect It Was Built On A Government Contract- Robert Heinlein Posts: 1084 | Registered: Thursday, November 7 2002 08:00 |

Heh, heh, heh, Saddam stopped being important the moment we invaded. He is an excellent propaganda victory for us but does not have real meaning. Most of the resistance is religious fanatics and nationalists from Syria, Pakistan, and Iran along with a smattering of home grown we hate Americans types. Our goal is to stop a nationalist religious government which hates us from popping into power like it did in Afghanistan after the soviet union. Many shiites would love to have a mixed theocratic state half mullahs and half elected representatives. We still have not figured out how to stop this, because quite frankly there is not much that is better than Iran in the middle east for Muslims. Quite frankly it sucks for the average arab in terms of living conditions. You can have a crazed religious regime, an autocratic one party state, a sheikdom, or a military dictatorship. A Turkish style state might work in the middle east. It is the closest thing to a strong democracy for arab states. But quite frankly we cannot manipulate them very well and Washington would not like this style of state to exist in Iraq. -------------------- The Universe Never Did Make Sense; I Suspect It Was Built On A Government Contract- Robert Heinlein Posts: 1084 | Registered: Thursday, November 7 2002 08:00 |

If they have him now, they will systematically squeeze him for information for a little while. Then feed him some drugs which will make him forget where he was for the last couple days. I doubt he would have any chance of killing himself right now let alone being too aware of where he is. He is probably pumped full of sodium pentathol and happy pills. Nobody is available to observe what is happening to him. -------------------- The Universe Never Did Make Sense; I Suspect It Was Built On A Government Contract- Robert Heinlein Posts: 1084 | Registered: Thursday, November 7 2002 08:00 |

I would like to have the option to play a rogue servile. It would be kind of fun. 1) Could we have a greater variety of weapons and armor. Including necklaces or helmets, dresses or kilts. 2) It would be neat if we could build our own creations have a shaper laboratory where we could design new creations. Give us a chance to play mix and match with monster pieces. 3) It would be nice to have some nonshapers in the late part of the game with some spells and beasts not available to shapers. 4) Have the ability to strengthen our factions by doing quests-- they become nastier when we have to fight the big baddy at the end. Creatures in town become stronger after quest is completed. 5) More options for allies to join you for a short amount of time like the guardian in the early game. One shot help. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh. Star Bright, Star Light, Oh I Wish I May, I Wish Might, Wish For One Star Tonight.

I read until my eyes glaze over. I am an all around news junkie. I like the yahoo news server, cnn, and the junk news services especially www.snopes.com, and www.forteantimes.com. I also read online comics a variety of them-- File 49, As Cybertron Turns, Black Tapestries, Secret of Mana Theater-- I especially like www.onlinecomics.net because I read very fast. -------------------- The Universe Never Did Make Sense; I Suspect It Was Built On A Government Contract- Robert Heinlein Posts: 1084 | Registered: Thursday, November 7 2002 08:00 |

Here are a few skills: Running-- increases movement points. Meditation-- increases resistance to mental effects, increases spellpoint regeneration. Hunting-- increases missile weapon chance to hit, chance of gathering food each day. Gathering-- increased chance to find alchemical ingredients, chance of finding food each day. Leadership-- increases party reputation A few spells: We should have the cleansing spell brought back to get rid of webs and acid. Some of the wall spells should be reinstated. A life draining spell should be added for single targets/ mage. There should also be a clerical water walking spell. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.
