Don't! They are innocent. So if you stop the war before they grow up, they can be nice good slaves :)
I think I didn't kill them, though. Definitely.
Just take the book and get out of there!

P.S. That was 100th. Century is over.

I only know many sport games by EA. That makes sense, when you transfer your team from one trace/field/country to another, changing the game. Not suitable for RPG though. Simply because the time, when the events take place in A1-A2-A3-A4 are separated by quite a long period so you can't have one team, capable to fight both in A1 and in A4. May be only mages. I don't know how much time shall pass from A4 to A5. But we are talking for common case, so apparently it will be again 10-20 years, or even more, which I prefer.
I didn't quite get what you mean by "random monster fights" in any form. I thought that you encounter rather random monsters, so the fights usually differ. And if you mean refighting in the same cave until monsters stop respawing (a small local plague in every cave), I think I should vote for that. That will be interesting. It was pretty a tedium to wander in A1-A3 after you've killed all the monsters available. :)

P.S. Hey, that was 99-th for me. My first century of posts. Hope not all was spam.

As for the slime, you should play A3 to see how they breed. And as for lizards... I misread it at firs and thought you insult sliths. But then I got the idea. I think there should be some hack and slash in every cave, but not an endless. May be it should be repopulated some time later, but not while you fighting through it. That will come out more realistic.
Anyway, this is RPG game, not an arcade FPS.

Mr. Vogel, is a very creative guy and could probably come up with all kinds of interesting features for the new game, these are two that I would enjoy. Obviously, A4 is already pretty sweet. These are just ideas to throw out there.
Don't throw your ideas. Just put them here. :)

Well, you can try it also in Athron's lair in A1 and A2, too. But only after you fulfill the quests with her. I don't remember if Sulfras is being angered when stealing from his secret places. I only remember the quickfire and running out... The same, except quickfire, is with Khoth.

Did you mean "and" instead of "or"? I hope that in A5 we won't see so detailed "reason" of the growth of creature populaton. Only if it is slime, breeding by dividing the slime from the pot (or whatever there was in A3). :)
And am I the only one who thinks that beer is repulsing terror and any mind control from outside of one's mind?

I think I got it right, A5 is already being plotted. So I'm not sure we should make proposals for "the start", "the end" and "the place".
So details may be those, which count right now.

If a cataclysm is prevented, bad things will still happen. A lot of people will want to leave Avernum. Valorim will have trouble absorbing the new arrivals. There could be accidents with the portal. There'll also be speculations and theories about unnatural causes of the the cataclysm. Lots of people are going to think that the Vahnatai were behind it. The Anama may take advantage of the situation by telling people that such events are caused by ramapant use of magic. Both Avernum and the Empire may be forced to spend massive amounts of resources to solve the problem, limiting their ability to respond against other threats, such as bandits, chitrach investations, those random undead attacks that pop up out of nowhere, etc. Plus the solution to the problem may not even be permanent.
Well, I don't want to understate the amount of grief we all have after a cataclism breakes through on Earth. But here we are discussing an interesting plot for an epic game and its continuation. May be it is time to have some rest from overevil disasters. But writing history we always concentrate on global events: wars, revolutions, falls and rises of imperia, etc. In a hundred years a cataclism like tsunami in Thailand won't count as a good plot for a movie or a book known worldwide.
Please, don't think I'm too cyniñ about it. I hate when people die, fight or somehow else show their foolishness.

What did you do last night?
Finally watched Da Vinci Code. Sux.
The last thing you downloaded onto your computer?
I thought it was some music. My e-mail client argued it was some letter. But antivirus called both of them spyware...
Have you ever licked a 9 volt battery?
Yes! Being a child. And 12V, too. And phone wire (12V), too. And being a grown-up system administrator without a tester I had to lick that again to be sure it works. Never licked a connected USB, they say it bites. :)
Type of music you dislike most?
Any music, where solo is something like rattle, squelch and so on, pretending to be a good singer
Are you registered to vote?
For quite a period. Better question is am I using it?
Ever made a prank phone call?
Again, in childhood for some friends, police and fire. Do I regret? It was necessary to grow up!
Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving?
No. I'm not afraid, but no.
Furthest place you ever traveled?
Connecticut.
What's your favorite comic strip?
Candy Candy
Best movie you've seen in the past month?
I'm not sure it is the best. But among the others I've seen - Wedding Crushers with Owen Wilson.
Favorite chocolate bar?
Rossija: Sudarushka. I'm not sure how to translate that.
Have you ever won a trophy?
I did. I wish to win an artefact, but this is real life. So, just a trophy.
Favorite arcade game?
Arcanoid.
Ever thrown up in public?
Nope. I always fought to the end.
Would you prefer being a millionaire or finding true love?
My, can a true love be a millionaire? I take it, wrap two. Seriously I prefer to get the money. True love I've found already.
If you had to spend a romantic evening with any sw member, who would you pick?
That's a secret even for me. Do I know any?
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Not here to answer.
Who do you think about most?
Once I've read that a male between 20 and 35 every 12th second thinks of sex. Still, I never counted that down.
Which celebrity do you think is hot, both female and male?
Charlize Theron and Sean Pertwee.
What's the worst medical problem you've ever had?
I'm still alive. Means I don't want to say something about "ever had".
What's your favorite sitcom?
I don't think its name shall tell anything. But "My Fair Nanny" is good, too.
Hottest sw male
Hard to tell for a newbie.
Last computer/video game you played
New York Racer at home. Arcanoid at work. :)
Last movie you rented
I don't rent usually. The last time was too long ago.
Would you rather dump someone or be dumped?
I prefer to have the laugh of smb. in a friendly way.
Which sw member has the dirtiest mind?
No idea.
Have you ever kissed someone and regretted it?
No. Never. And I won't while I'm conscious

Why does there have to be an intelligence behind every catastrophe? How can you possibly say that there's no point to preventing natural disasters? [/quote]Yes there is. As I wrote above, and seems you've missed it. A small one can be prevented by evacuation (or magically stopping a quake). Planetary cataclism on Ermarian is harder to prevent, I think. Still some pages earlier I seemed to make a proposal for a plot which will prevent a war/or any other "unnatural" disaster. Concretely prevent. A party will have to undertake some number of quests: diplomacy, assasination, stealing,... oh, whatever, that's adventuring. And the cataclism won't breakthrough.
quote:
Sometimes the most frightening disasters are the naturally occurring ones. Plus you think that just because they prevent a catastrophic series of quakes, if that does happen, that everything will go back to normal?
Agreed. It won't. But back to Avernum. This time all the Avernites should leave Avernum for some sanctuary?
quote:
If a series of earthquakes hits the town you live in and then a while later the government tells you that they just prevented a cataclysmic quake that could have destroyed your entire town and every town within a hundred mile radius, are you going to feel safe living there?
Again, agreed. The only difference of natural and unnatural then is that you can give a 100% guarantee of ending the latter and no guarantee for the former? What will your team be up to then?
quote:
Another thing is that just because it's naturally occurring does not mean there isn't something unnatural making it worse and there are always those unscrupulous enough to take advantage of such situations.
There are. Marauders. But again, only if it is a local catastrophe.

I am sorry for making Dikiyoba confused. Quesion about "me" and "here" was actually a nonserious one. :P And scared I was for Avernites. Too many ways to scare those who you loved after you die and come as undead. :)

On a second thought, quakes may be the signals to some planet catastrophe, so when you find that out your quest is to undertake all the steps to arrange the emigration to... well, theró are no spaceships yet, are there? :(
So, we need to have a bad guy or an evil overlord, so that after studying the todo list of him we should find a weak spot and save the planet.

Edit: typo. And did I say "we"? I meant "they", of course, the team of adventurers. :)

No. I reject the buffer-state theory. By that logic, the United States could conquer mexico as a 'buffer state'.
That's where I smiled. "Buffer zone" at the board of the country was actual when there were swords and bows. At this point US needs mexico as a buffer, like a dog needs a fifth leg.
Let's look the truth into the eyes. After WWII there were two supercountries having a tough opposition. And the interest of the one over the ocean in "buffer zone" was the same if not bigger then of another.
SU gained acces to Cuba, having a good place to place its S200. US replied with bases in Europe.
Nowadays Russia has lost a little gaining a buffer zone because of NATO presence. I don't want to go into political polemics. The only thing I ask for: please, you have to accept the "buffer-state" theory, cause both Russia and US are on that road.
