Just a little sidenote: you're not allowed to modify VoDT, ASR, ZKR, or DWD. No remaning, adding extra items, placing extra specials. But I don't think the liscense says anything about renaming the tutorial, so I believe you're in the clear. You should still check, though.

i havnt tried making a scenario yet (got a couple ideas, but they are going to have to wait till the semester's end before i try doing anything with them) and i have no clue on the scripting and such.

but would it be possible to do certain things scaled on the partie's level? like have it a set way for up to x level, but beyond that it gets ridiculously hard?

personally, i like to play _all_ the scenarios that come out, and i do it all with my singleton. granted, most arent challenging combatwise at this point, but i can still enjoy the story and the puzzles and such.

i think that my major complaint about canopy was the way it altered spell levels and such. I thought it was a neat way of doing new things with combat, but not everything reset properly, i ended up using hlpm to buy up some of the spells i had lost running through it (cloud of blades? not sure)
Well, to adjust a scenario to the party's level, all you would need to do is something like this:
level = get_level(random_group_member(1000));
if (level > 100)
set_level(ME,100);
if (level <= 100)
set_level(ME,level);
However, this would make funky things I cannot forsee happen. Spells and skills would be crazy, hp would be much larger or much less than the usual ammount...

Okay, I believe Eagle is saying that he'/she's grateful that BoA has been released, although it came out quite a long while ago.

It's also possible that Eagle is happy that a new patch for BoA has been released, which I wouldn't really know about. Has a patch been released?

I had to try it a few times, but I believe I eventually beat it because of my high luck skill level.

Also, I beat it without Dämonzerstörer... I never even used the Scry crystal. Did it mention Dämonzerstörer?

EDIT: Spiderweb doesn't approve of posting a little when you're quoting a really long post?

Also, I am sort of worried that if I put out a scenario similar to another, regardless of whether or not I know I copied the similar scenario, people will accuse me of copying.

And yes, all literature, humor, and ideas are simply stolen from someone else or cobbled together from different things.

Okay, I don't play BoE because it supports Communism, so tell me if these have been done to death.

- Invaders from another continent
- Party is jailed by Empire, has to escape
- Factions of the Empire turn against each other (Example: Archmagery attacks Military)
- Party tries to become "bosses" of crime (Example: Work your way up through a crime organization to become the boss)
EDIT: I also had this idea for a "dragon homeland", but then I found Bahsskiva.

I e-mailed Jeff a few years back to ask how to enter the hidden chambers of Sulfras and Erika. He said there was no way in there, but he could have easily been lying. Then again, he could have been telling us that there was no way in so we would question whether it was actually sealed off. And so on, and so on.

However, if TM were to change the way the Dark Idol fights, it would lose some of the challenge that makes that battle so rewarding, much like all the others in the scenario. Personally, I like the scenario for its complexity of each of its battles due to their uniqueness.
Then no bloody pauses.

You know, I never noticed I needed to use the Ritual on the Drake Lord's altar. I never even knew my party had the Ritual until I reached the one in Ancient Bahsskiva. And by that time, I couldn't go back to unsanctify it.

This is just a really small point, but there were too many pause() calls in the creature scripts. They slowed down my game, so I lowered the times.

Oh, and I hated the Dark Idol. I couldn't beat it without summoning truckloads of monsters, and that meant I wasted about a minute each turn as the Dark Idol blasted my poor little summonings. Maybe next time, the reincarnated Idol will only strike a set number of monsters, rather than every one in sight.

I remember the innkeeper who talks about coffee, but shouldn't be. I don't know how it was done in A3, but in E3 you had to ask about coffee.

I don't think A3 has special days, but the towns deteriorate unless you stop the plagues. Some shops close, and I think some non-important people die.

EDIT: And there isn't anything in A3's hintbook about special days.

461. You can find out the number of any item by opening a scenario with the BoA Editor and looking in the list of items.

Well, you might like the Avernum 4 game better. So if you wanted to make something which requires the changes Avernum 4 will bring about, you'd need a new editor.

I don't believe in Hell, because it's just something a culture slowly invented as they embelished their own religion.

Hey, is Avernum 4 going to be bigger than Avernum 3? Or come with an editor?

Oaky, this is a thread to talk about stuff you can either deduce, assume, or have valid speculations about using the information we already have.

1) In several of the screenshots, it appears that you can have up to three shapers in your party.
2) It appears that there are several islands which are linked, making a larger map.
3) It appears you have more choices to customize your character.

What else do you see?
