I suppose any joke about positions that one wouldn't want to be in is too obvious here.

As I recall, that's why I chose level 250 for god parties: It's high enough to be ridiculously high, but not high enough to cause BoA to break (much). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Move Mountains L1 destroys rocks. L2 destroys cracked walls. I think L3 destroys those dirty walls, but I'm not totally sure if I'm remembering that from some other Avernum. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

quote:A HLPM party should do it. People say that my combat is hard, but it really isn't. TM's combat is hard. Mine just requires you to do things that aren't just bless-haste-hack. There's quite a bit of hacking involved, but it's not the same pattern as the Avernum series. A party that has completed the first four scenarios really ought to be able to complete Bahs, and failing that, take it through Canopy once to get better weapons. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

And give the monsters ever-increasing special powers via scripts in order to simulate higher levels? I suppose that would do it: Fake a level-120 monster via scripts and then fake giving level-120 experience via the DEAD_STATE. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I'm not sure I completely follow the discussion happening here, but let me throw in some info. The HLPM makes parties at any level from 2 to 100. It can get them up to 250 if the god option is selected. IIRC, 250 was just an arbitrary high value that I chose — you can go much, much higher than that if you do basically the same thing as the HLPM does but cap the loop much higher. However, monsters only go up to level 99 or 100 (I forget which), and I never did figure out a way to get them higher in Exodus (where I actually tried). So in-game leveling may be very slow after a certain point, which puts a damper on any scenario (*cough* *Slith Homeland Part 3* *cough*) that would have used parties starting at extremely high levels. Of course, one could do the Doom Moon II thing and try to make it still worthwhile to go through a scenario (in terms of rewards) even without leveling. But that's another issue. This almost certainly completely irrelevant to anything in this thread, but I felt like posting it. :cool: -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The rumor (wrong, I guess) is that there was a game-killing bug about halfway through that many people couldn't figure out how to avoid. This led to one of my favorite comments about the relationship between RW and Homeland, namely that RW couldn't have created Homeland, simply on the grounds that, while not everything RW created was a joy to play at all times, we at least have confidence that he could create a full game, which is not necessarily the case for Homeland. It almost disappoints me to learn that Homeland actually is finishable.

It is possible to simulate GF fairly exactly in BoA (except the interface and real-time stuff), although no one has done it. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

If I'm not mistaken, converting it would require hex-editing your save files, basically hand-converting most of the bits. This is more trouble than it's worth. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

I can't stand not knowing where to go or what to do, and "guess what I'm thinking" puzzles are even worse. If you do have puzzles, bundle a very specific walkthough with the scenario. Even with walkthroughs, I still sometimes can't get anywhere, because the walkthrough is too vague. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Pyg is in dire need of some sort of release. Something, anything, that people can actually use.

E3 apparently sold really, really well. A4 apparently sold pretty darn well. My impression is that GF4 did pretty well, too, but I don't know this. Nethergate and BoA didn't sell very well at all. Other than that, I don't really know. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!
