I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. :P Actually, I listen to a variety of music while playing Spiderweb games. A lot of it is movie scores though. There was one summer that I played through all 3 Avernums listening to the original soundtracks to A New Hope for A1, The Empire Strikes Back for A2, and Return of the Jedi for A3. These are the original CDs from way back when too.

I have a Firefox extension installed called Aggregate Yahoo & Google. With this installed, I get Yahoo search results strewn among the Google results. It's quite useful.

I never bothered with killing summoned creatures. One thing that I always did do was kill allies in outdoor battles, like the Celtic soldiers at the battle in the stone circle near Nethergate.

I got the MOD codec as part of the ACE Mega Codecs Pack, and dBpowerAMP works wonderfully for all my audio conversion. As long as you have a DirectShow codec installed for the format, it can convert it.

Of course, I have no idea what someone using a Mac would do. :P

For those who care, I took the original Exile MOD audio files and converted them to MP3 format. The Exile I music can be found here, and the Exile II music can be found here.

Using a tablet with avernum 4 in Tech Support
Law Bringer
Member # 6489
Profile Homepage #1
This most likely has to do with Avernum's resolution. Your tablet may be incapable of mapping to multiple resolutions. You might want to try setting Avernum so that it does not change the resolution. Note that you will have to manually change your color depth to 16-bit (high color) before you start A4 with this option enabled. If that does not work, I'm afraid that you will not be able to play A4 in tablet mode.

With the Intel macs, you can dual-boot between MacOS X and Windows XP. (and presumably Vista when it comes out) This should allow you to keep playing BoE for years to come. :)

Slith fort (A1) in The Avernum Trilogy

Originally written by Ford Prefect:

Just to make a parallel, if it is possible, there is a lizrad like people in Terry Brooks Shannara series. Depicted very much alike Slithzerikai in Avernum/Exile series. The same way of breeding - if I remember that well enough. All the nation of mwellrets (lizard men) is presented as evil, with inborn ability to hypnotize. But that is all offtopic, except for that they were created by magic. The whole nation.
This is somehow in close relations with Aran's novel Crystal Song with its vahnatai creationism theory :)

P.S. I'm not sure whether I should have placed a tm, or copyright after the name of the novel. Anyway, it is worth reading :)

That is from The Wishsong of Shannara, which is arguably the worst book of the original trilogy, with the first book being good (although a blatant Tolkien ripoff), and the second book, The Elfstones of Shannarabeing the best book Brooks has ever written. Anything after First King of Shannara is pure excrement.
