best class for first timer in Geneforge Series
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Monday, August 15 2005 10:47 Profile Homepage #2 I agree with everything Thuryl said. Agents are more difficult at the start, but easier near the end. Guardians are easier at the start, but very difficult later. Shapers are relatively easy throughout the game, if you rely primarily on creatures. (So intelligence skill is shaper's first priority.) -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

How many points has each ability? in Geneforge Series
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Monday, August 15 2005 10:42 Profile Homepage #2 Unlike in previous games, you can use trainers even after using canisters. So you can buy 2 levels of spells even if you got these spells from canisters before. As for max level for spells and creation-making, it's limited only by the number of trainers and canisters available in the game. The max level for trainable abilities is 30, if I am not mistaken. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Did anyone else notice this about Terror Vlish? in Geneforge Series
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Sunday, August 14 2005 15:59 Profile Homepage #3 No, in the previous 2 games Terror Vlish actually induced terror with every hit. I personally didn't like that, but some people preferred it, because it allowed them to deal with a few enemies at a time, while the rest were hiding in fear. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

How do you like your creation army to be? in Geneforge Series
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Sunday, August 14 2005 15:48 Profile Homepage #3 I prefer ranged attackers, but always keep a couple of mellee creatures (Alwan/Thahd Shades) around. Ranged attacks are tactically better, but sometimes you can't avoid enemy's mellee fighters from getting to you and sometimes you want a couple of your creatures close to the enemy. As for creature types, I always go for whatever available creature gives the largest bang for the essence cost. I reabsorb old creatures as soon as I can spend the same amount of essence to make something stronger. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Sixus in Exile II in The Exile Trilogy
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Saturday, August 13 2005 16:01 Profile Homepage #11 Congratulations with mission completion. About your mage, you can try casting spells like Sanctuary or Bless on him if archers are causing him trouble. If things get too bad, just end every round by covering the mage by Sanctuary spell. I sometimes notice archers attacking the character they consider "most dangerous". So if your mage casts firestorm and your priest casts sanctuary on him, archers will be very likely to waste their shots on hidden mage.

Horrible bug in Geneforge 3, or it's my PC. in Tech Support
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Friday, August 12 2005 18:58 Profile Homepage #1 I think that once items are gone, they are gone forever. Either way, I'd recommend restarting from an earlier save (and keeping several backup saves), because once your savefile is corrupted, you never know what other problems you might encounter. As for why this happened, I can only give a random guess that perhaps you were running too many programs at once and the game ran out of memory. PS If you want to report this bug to Spiderweb, e-mail them at spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com, because Jeff doesn't read these boards.

If you could invite 4 people to a dinner in any form... in General
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Thursday, August 11 2005 08:17 Profile Homepage #72 EDIT: Looks like this wasn't very funny. Maybe that wordplay made more sence in Russian. EDIT2: As far I can tell, there was nothing inapropriate about it, but if it was bad enough to inspire "bad joke poliece report" comic, I'd save myself from the emberrasment of keeping it in the post. I quoted the post about inviting all the man-eating aliens and replied with a sentence that could mean either "guests are invited to dinner" or "guests are put on the menu".

Turning off full-screen? in Geneforge Series
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Thursday, August 11 2005 08:05 Profile Homepage #7 If you are using Windows, there is an even better combination: Alt+Tab (Hold down Alt key and press Tab) This switches to the last program you were using before the current one. So if your last program was whatever you were supposed to be working on, it'll look like you are hard at work. :) Alt+Tab is also useful when switching between game and notes/walkthroughs. (If you hit Tab several times, you'll scroll through the list of previous programs, so you can select the one you want to switch to.) -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

In nearly impossible situation in Geneforge Series
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Tuesday, August 9 2005 22:46 Profile Homepage #10 I guess it somewhat depends on your playing style. For me, Shapers are easiest. For you, Guardians might be better. However, most people consider guardian to be slightly harder in Gf3.

Some questions about scenario design in Blades of Exile

Some questions about scenario design in Blades of Exile
Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Monday, August 8 2005 15:13 Profile Homepage #0 I am thinking of trying to make a scenario for the peal contest and I have some questions about scenario design: 1. How long does usually take to design a town with a lot of dialogue and a few minor quests? 2. How long should a scenario be if it's important for the player to develop a connection to some characters in the story? (I want to try something stronger than just saying "you've been best friends for several months and you feel terrible about his death".) 3. When making a scenario, should I start by writing out dialogue, or by completing town design and coding? Should I work first on story or on quests? 4. Is it worthwile to make half a dozen possible endings for a very short scenario, or will it be just a waste of effort, since players are unlikely to play through more than 1 or 2 times?
