I think shapers are the easiest. You get a decent meatshield of creations, which can dish out decent damage, and it doesn't matter if the creations die, so you can send them out in front and not join in the fight, even. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

I think it's worth giving everyone a point of priest spells. It doesn't cost much, and having everyone able to heal can help when I'm in trouble. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Creator/Ash Lael - I know you're different people, it's just that I tend to think of you both as being called Creator and then I get confused. About the brain starting to form - I don't mean the same thing as the article did. I meant that I'm fine with abortion when the brain is unformed enough that consciousness hasn't got there yet. An undifferentiated cell that hasn't become a nerve cell yet can't think. For the AiG article, I agree that when something is morally wrong, people shouldn't do it. The science, I don't think makes much of a difference. Life doesn't start at conception, it started long before there were any humans (either that or 6000 years ago, but I'm not arguing about that in this topic). What I disagree with is their morals.

I came across Exile 1 on the cover CD of a magazine, and I hated it. I did like Realmz though. Later on, I replayed the Exile demo and discovered that actually I loved it, although I was too cheap to actually register it. BoE, when I found out about it, looked like a much better deal, since it came with a scenario editor. Even now, it's the only Spiderweb game I've registered. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Firstly, my opinion on abortion: Up to the brain starting to form, go ahead. Push it in and abort it again, if you want (thanks to Jeff for that suggestion) After that, I'd be inclined to give the foetus the benefit of the doubt, and only do it if the mother's life is in danger. Overwhelming's: The first two articles, I thought "interesting, but what has it got to do with abortion, except that it's dragged in?" The third, I kind of agreed with the first bit about morals, but I think they're just wrong about the second (relevant) bit. Ash Lael's: I skimmed the first one, but it didn't really answer my views well. The second, I didn't really manage to find an argument in it. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

You should probably also either make the item have infinite uses, or design the scenario so that the party can never get stuck. (Imagine dying of starvation because you teleported to behind the counter in a shop and you can't get out) -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

I am aware of Rogue, although I haven't played it. I probably should sometime, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was better than Angband.

Yes, there is. It's in the scripts folder somewhere, and it's a bit cryptic, but it's the one the game uses. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I'm sure modern processors can handle the overhead of checking that arguments to calls are within the right range. It'd only be a few instructions for each call, with the possible exception of some weird ones I can't think of right now. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

There's no easy way (I think). One option would be to have something in the start state for these areas checking to see if each character's MP has gone down since the last turn, and if so, taking a bit more off. Alternatively, you could reduce the party's intelligence, thereby reducing their SP and making their spells relatively more expensive. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

The point is that if stuff is going on because of time, and meanwhile the player is exercising his nonlinear rights and completely ignoring this, then either the player is losing because they missed it, or it's made so that it's impossible to avoid and the player can't dso whatever they want after all. quote:When people talk about games being linear, they mean that there is a set of things that you have to do in a given order to win. I have never heard anyone except you use it to mean that there is only one way to win each fight. quote:Such as? quote:<moderator hat>Watch your tone, please</moderator hat> The large number of excellent BoE scenarios and the smaller (so far) number of pretty good BoA ones suggests that some people do have at least a slight grasp of the concepts of game design.
