If you're close to the gold cap, just don't sell anything valuable (or anything expensive at all) until you use money. Just remember not to put too much in one town or forget where you left it. Maybe just pile it at the entrance to the dungeon you're in.

Originally by Alorael:

quote:
Hunters can be sentient, and I'm not convinced they couldn't be civilized as well. First they are nomads following herds. Then they domesticate herds. They may still have to travel to find better grazing, but they have surplus, which allows specialization, which allows civilization. Fishing doesn't even require movement, although generating a large food surplus purely from fish would be hard.
It may require movement, but Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest fished during salmon runs (before they were endangered and had dams and sportsmen and commerical fishing hurting them). Smoked dried salmon lasted a long time and could be traded. Of course, there were berries and other foods too.

Like Stew Boy, I don't ever log out of my main computer since only I have typically access to it (and if it gets stolen, I have more than my login at Spiderweb Software to worry about). But I'm a wanderer occasionally before I log on and after I log off when using another computer.

Dikiyoba personally liked the "Spiderweb Software-It's all about the Benjamins." of Geneforge 1. And finding the Easter Egg of Avernum 2 on Easter Day was a nice, though unplanned, touch.

Unhandled exceptions in BoA are weird. I have had a few of them but aren't sure why they come up. Either avoid it, work around it, or uninstall and reinstall until it works.

That's why we only use mousetraps hidden in places our cat normally can't get to. You'd think our cat would solve the mouse problem but I suspect she's to blame for it. The mousetraps were surpisingly effective. A lot more effective than the cat. Even the dogs are more effective than the cat.

Dikiyoba wishes the cat would stop bringing live rodents over to the front of the house where about half of them escape.

I don't find it funny either. Did you attempt to prosecute the neighbor?

Dikiyoba has had two cats killed by cars and has one dog that has been hit by cars twice (she's still alive) and yet Dikiyoba's friends still wonder why Dikiyoba drives so slow. It won't kill anyone to slow down but it can kill to speed up.

Thank you, Schrodinger for all your excellent guides. And Cyber_Skaarj, for your uncompleted guide. And anyone else who created a guide/FAQ for Spiderweb Software games.

Incidently, Dikiyoba solved the nest-in-Pentil-Woods mystery of G1. Dikiyoba sent Schrodinger an e-mail about it a long time ago, but Dikiyoba was never sure if it reached its destination.

Takers (in G2)-Shapers are evil. Serviles and draykes and drakons must gain power, start a war and overthrow the Shapers. Pro-servile opinion.

Barzite-Power is everything. Canisters are great. Control creations. Anti-servile opinion.

It's just one of those weird coincidences, like the Uruk-hai having a speech that works out to be two haikus.

Some of the people I know joke about "cat hunting season." Spay and neutering cats solves the whole issue of reducing unwanted cats and trying to find them homes. Of course, so does eating the kittens.

It must be that the money purse is only carried by one character and it isn't big enough to hold more than 15,000 coins. Good thing there aren't any thieves or pickpockets (besides your party if you so desire) in the game.

Really? I've never seen him or her. But I have an answer now.

Dikiyoba didn't even refer to Dikiyoba in third person in Dikiyoba's previous post.

Edit: Sig change.

Yes. Now I'm wondering who's going to be the first to change their name to Wanderer. Someone has to. If not Alorael, then who?

True, but it technically isn't a faction. There's just no point being a Loyalist-too many disadvantages for too few advantages.

Lenar Labs doesn't know who I am. But I wish that his Silent Assassin would stop coming over. The assassin never says a word. It's rather creepy.

Dikiyoba hasn't met anyone from these boards in real life or anywhere else but these boards, in fact.

Dikiyoba admits vampas isn't technically a real language but it is certainly non-English.

In G2, there are four: Loyalists, Awakened, Barzites, and the Takers.

I like the idea of combining the BoA and the BoA Editor forums together, since topics tend to end up in the wrong forum anyway. BoE I don't care about, except that all the scenarios are on the main forum page, aren't they?

I was a wanderer for about a week before I registered while I decided whether I liked the forum and had enough time to join. No sense in joinging something if you don't like it or aren't going to be around. Maybe some of the wanderers are doing the same.

Thuryl, the links aren't working correctly.

green kid, if you use Windows XP or higher, follow these steps. You need an unzip program (like WinZip) to unzip the 3D editor.

1. Go back to the BoA Editor forum main screen.
2. Click on the link BoA Editor Remake.
3. Click on the link the Sourceforge page at the bottom of the page.
4. Click on the green rectangle that says Download BoA Editor Remake
5. Click on the bottom green rectangle that says Download. That is, check to make sure that you are downloading the version of the 3D editor that is for Windows.
6. Click on the link Win3DRelease.zip Not the Win3DReleaseSource.zip, the other one.
7. Click on any download link That is, the word that says download.
8. If the download doesn't start automatically, click on the long link at the top of the page where it tells you to in order to start the download.
9. From here, it's all your computer. You'll probably get your unzip program asking you about the 3D Editor. Tell it to open and unzip the file.
10. Move the whole Win3DRelease folder to wherever you can find it easily.
11. Open the Win3DRelease folder.
12. Open the Win3D read-me. Read it. Read it again if you didn't get it all the first time.
13. Follow the instructions under the "Install" section in the read-me.
14. Open the BoAEditor.

No. Dikiyoba was just trying to make Dikiyoba's suggestion as absurd as possible. Logically, G4 will come out and then G5 will come out without the option to be GIFTS since GIFTS aren't present in the Geneforge series. But maybe the option to be GIFTS will be present in Avernum five and three-quarters.
