That's an interesting but quite different idea. I do like the idea of a Blades of Rogue, I think. An automatic terrain generator cannot be done with AvernumScript, though, because AvernumScript does not modify the scenario file. It would have to be a separate application that uses code from the editor. It's interesting, but may not be worth the effort.
Hello? set_terrain.

If I remember it right, I actually put out this challenge first. Well, actually I just talked about how it might be technically possible but insanely impractical, but in the vicinity of hardened designers that comes to the same thing. :P

I worked on a rogue-like dungeon generator once that got as far as creating frilled rectangle rooms, connecting them with corridors and walling them. I didn't have the perseverance or skill to stick to the task the way Lazarus did with BoR, however.

I still want Steampunk. Dirigibles and ancient mechanisms. Arcanum was nice, but SW's stuff has a unique feel to it.

I enjoy Subway now and then, although I'm not sure if that counts as fast food. No other fast-food though. I don't think I ate a hamburger in 2007. May have in 2006 once or twice.

As a rule, I prefer teaching myself to cook. It's cheaper and gives me a wonderful sense of accomplishment (not wholly unlike that of reaching a high Cooking skill in Runescape, but so much less pointless).

Aside from the shock value, it is entirely harmless to drink one's own urine, and has been done as part of some therapies (of questionable value).

I hear it is not very tasty, however.

The unwritten rules of the forum suggest that a certain level of renown/notoriety be reached before routinely changing your displayed name, or alternatively that you rotate around some recognizable theme ("Iffy", "Muffins").

Failing that, you need to at least bring an easily memorable signature.

Failing that, the offending member shall be referred to by their least favorite name. Mkay, Nija? :P

This topic is weird.

1. Thralni is not and was never a mod.
2. Thralni didn't leave.
3. I can't think of any mod or admin who isn't active - though there might be one or two on the Game forums who haven't shown their faces in a while.

Wow... Tyran, you play Nova? I thought I was the only one...
I think you'll find that several people here play EV Nova. I know Aran does, and I'm sure we aren't the only ones.
And I see you also play AoE II. I have a fondness for that game myself, which none of the sequels have managed to replace.

Of course, that I played the respective demos on my three-year-old notebook with miserable graphics memory hasn't helped. But really, Empire Earth was a bit too flashy for me. I don't mind zooming around on that three-dimensional battle-field (even lagged like hell), but I ended up paying more attention to the scenery and flashy combat than strategy.

That doesn't happen with AoE II or Settlers III. Even less with Widelands...
