Knowing Spell Levels in Avernum 4
Law Bringer
Member # 6785

Skill trainers serve two purposes.

1 - Some people power game, where they don't put points into a skill until after they have bought 2 levels at the cheapest trainer. This allows them to save skill points which are limited by how high your character can get within a game. Only after spending money for training do they use skill points.

2 - It allows you to train a character in a skill that isn't normally used by the character class. Giving bow skills to a spellcaster, and in some other games spell skills to a fighter type.

If you are running a singleton, then trainers become important since you can get enough skill points for everything.

The golems that were made before the dextruction of the factory still will exist, but there won't be replacements. Also the controller is gone, so they continue with original programming.

Try running BoE in Classic mode or use an emulator. Your Mac should have come with a CD-ROM that will allow you to use OS 9 programs unless it it Intel based, then you have to do something like in this topic.

What's the fun with letting her live. She doesn't reward you for doing her quests except that she will finally help Moseh. At least Shaftoe gives a reward.

Also Eliza is the first dropped agent cloak until the Western Morass.

Has anyone considering the disease option played GF1 through the Spirit Temple? Diseases have unintentional consequences and are likely to rebound even if you isolate yourself. Someday you will want that land.

Jeff carbonized Avernum 1 and 2 last year. This year he has been upgrading Avernum 4 and BoA to run natively on Intel Macs as well as TWO new games. It's not like he has a lot of free time to go back and work on Exile games.

Kyshakk or Fyora? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

It easier to use items for healing in combat since they won't keep you tied down as a spell would and they use less APs. There are usually enough healing spores and rods to get by in the game.

More creations tends to work out rather than increasing the power of a single creation. When you have to fight 4 or more creations at once you understand why.

Gold necklace - if you haven't sold them all then at worst you can buy one from a merchant. Uchitelle is the most expensive so check the others, and I'm not sure where you can still find one this far into the game.

You have to kill Eliza to open the doors on the north side. If you get to her second quest she opens the door to the southwest so you can kill a rogue creation.

The northeastern door leads to a chest with the deep focus orb.

Another thing is to increase missle weapons about 3 more levels so crystals do significant damage. It won't be as good as battle magic, but I got through as an agent. I did do it much later after I used the Geneforge.

how do you defeat a doomguard?? in The Exile Trilogy
Law Bringer
Member # 6785

Exile doomguards don't do that much damage if you stay shielded. Keep hasted for your best fighters so they can do the most damage and get several strikes per round. Magic doesn't work on them so don't waste time.

It's a grind to do it, but it's easier than in Avernum where the doomguards can really do damage.

Storing Items in Avernum 4

Once you can reach Fort Avernum, I found that sorting stuff into piles by categories - wands, rings, potions, etc. helps to find them quicker. Just spread the piles out in the room so they don't overlap when you get something.

GF 1 - Shaper Crypt in Geneforge Series

First start in fight mode to reduce the number of spawned creations. Buff up and move slowly so you have some AP to retreat or cast a spell.

It's been a while and I remember doing it in several trips. Go after pylons first since you can attack and retreat. Hold up in rooms where you can close the door to use pods to replace essence and heal. The main spawners are in the east side so save that area for last.

Delicious Vlish had some great advice to advance enough to draw off one foe at a time and then retreat so you don't get swarmed.

Welcome to Spiderweb Software forums and please leave your sanity at the door.

Pick whatever you like for me if I'm included. I've never had a good picture in real life so I won't likely object.

Edit - An Avernite mage will do since that's what Dikiyoba made me in the episodes.

Thanks, but I'm still waiting to hear from *i for the final word. I guess all that agitating to promote Alorael has caused a surge in mod positions. Now I get to move up on ET's list of targets.

Edit - I see I have got some power. Now I have to see what else I need to do besides visit the mod board.

Combat became harder and harder for me in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Chapter 2 requires you to help the Shapers enough to get the Repair Moseh quest from Alwan if you want to have any further to do with the Shapers other than fight. You don't have to do it, but without the quest you can't get Alwan's pass to get into Shaper Camp Gamma, etc.

You fighter should be able to deal out enough damage, but you are probably not using items effectively. Some fights work better if you can daze creations to reduce the number of hostiles that you face. Charm is also very helpful. It might help to get items to help you make creations that can fight for you. That way you won't have to waste skill points training in shaping.

Considering how the Shaper ancestors trashed Sucia Island before heading to the mainland, it's probable that they didn't do that great a job when the started on the mainland. They probably moved on until they got some significant control on shaping. The fact that they had forgotten about coming from Sucia Island implies that they hid the information or had moved so far that no longer knew the area.

It usually helps to make mage/priest for two characters instead of having them as single classes. Redundancy is always helpful so you can pick the best spells from each class to use in any situation, Sometimes you want two attacks, two heals, or two of another spell in the same round before you can haste yourselves.

It's not that new is better, it's why ruin a good thing. There were a lot of nice features in Exile. Avernum had a great three dimensional landscape that got flatten in A4. To save time Jeff imported too many Geneforge features and changed the game in ways that upset fans.

A5 should be better if Jeff follows through on what he said.
