I was pretty flexible with gender on this thing. There are a number of people whose genders are bent. As for Shelley Long: being a replacement Brady Bunch actress is definitely not what she's best known for. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

SEATTLE, Wash., April 9, 2007 — Notorious satirist Slartifer M. Tuckersworth today revealed his much-speculated upon current project to be Spiderweb: The Motion Picture, a fictionalized documentary chronicling the lives of some 60-odd members of an internet bulletin board. "When I saw how these people lived, the passion and pathos with which they respond to totally mundane events, I knew I had to tell their story," Slarty said. Originally planned as an adaptation of several scripts written by the mononymous Dikiyoba, Slarty soon scrapped the idea and began writing the film from the ground-up. "I didn't want to make a crummy live action version of great writing," he said. Although the two works share plot elements such as the Noob War and the Thing, they are not the central focus of Spiderweb. "I wanted to capture the little things -- the spam, the puns, the hissy fits thrown over chat logs. The human moments we can all relate to." During its development, the film was prominently featured in several tabloids due to the fighting between Slarty and its casting director, known as Synergy. "Slarty would hand out roles without consulting me," Synergy said. "If I argued, he'd throw his desk at me. But that's what you put up with when you work with an artist." Slarty's original script reportedly contained nearly a hundred roles, but that number was reduced to 62 due to budgetary constraints. Nonetheless, the film features an ensemble cast so extensive, and so experienced, that it makes Lord of the Rings look like Catwoman. According to Slarty's production company, Facepalm Films, Spiderweb is scheduled for release after the Pygmalion project and before Rhapsody in Blue. (The following JPGs are about 350k each.)

"Not hard" might still not be easy enough to justify putting effort into it ahead of working on a new game that will generate many orders of magnitude more profit. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

You can never be in more than one sect at the same time, in G1 or G2, regardless of conditions needed to join.

There are doomguards in Exile 2, too. The keys to defeating them are: 1) Damage per turn doesn't matter nearly so much as damage per strike, since each attack will make it split. That makes this one of the few situations in Exile where halberds and greatswords are better than dual-wielded wave blades. 2) Because it is going to take a long time no matter what you do, and because making lots of attacks every turn just guarantees you'll have lots of guys attacking you back, having a strong defense is more important than having a strong offense. If your fighters (or ideally, your whole party) are wearing lots of armor, and you keep everyone heavily blessed, all you really need is patience. Doomguards don't have any special attacks to worry about. Another strategy is to summon overpowered creatures with Simulacrum. This didn't work well in 3 as I recall, but in Exile 2, you could make Simulacrums of the dragons. Their really high HP and high damage breath attack makes them useful in this scenario. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

I haven't been able to find a single line from any of the games suggesting that Terrestia is the less settled Shaper land. G4 makes it clear that Eastern Terrestia is the less settled part of Terrestia, but there's nothing to suggest it's the Shaper equivalent of Valorim. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

I don't suppose you can just use the dog graphic for me, as Dikiyoba did in her screenshot? This is an ambitious, but potentially spectacular project.

I think we can safely say that there is one, and only one, Shaper Council. There are hundreds of references to it throughout the games and not one of them is plural. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

The original version of Exile II had music. The original version of Exile I did not; it was added in the v2.0 upgrade that gave Exile I the bright, Exile III style graphics several years after its release. That's all Mac versions. I don't know the history for PC versions. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

In G3, Akhari Blaze implies that the Council is on Terrestia: "It is time for you to go to Terrestia. It is time for our forces there to know what we have done. And for the Shaper Council to know that their cause is lost... Return to the mainland. Find Ghaldring. Find the Council. Tell them of the Geneforge." G2 is more conclusive: "You stand on the road leading out of these mountains. It is but a three days' walk to the next city and a quick, easy journey from there to the Shaper Council." A boat might be involved, but changing continents could hardly be a "quick, easy journey". The PC, on Mouawad: "The members of the Council rule the Shapers, and thus all Terrestia." -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Although I like space rock in general, I wasn't even thinking about that when I chose the PDN. It was indeed a reference to Hawkwind the Seer, specifically to his role in Ultima IV as seer of the Avatar's virtues. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |
