Unless you plan on fighting battles on roads instead of on open cave floor, chariots would be very inefficient. On the surface, why not? I suppose that would work, but it would be a very ambitious graphic indeed for someone to actually make. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

quote:I think I can safely say that no single minion will be able to kill me. Several, maybe even just two would, but this leads to comlications for the would be assasins. I don't think that people so whacked out on canisters as you are describing would be able to organize such a resistance, work together, or even come to som econsensus that I should be killed. Thus, through madness, I acheive order. As for any of my minions becomming too powerful, this is a tough one. As they continue to grow in power, I will send them on more and more dangerous missions, of course. If they wish to retire from fighting and take a noble seat at my side they are welcome, but it will cost them, they will receive no more canisters. This way, the only way anyone will ever gain enough power to challenge me will be if they return from epic battles again and again victorious every time. In which case, perhapes they simply deserve my position. It will be an honor to die fighting them. Edit: Good Canisters has a good point as well. It's not like I'm going to be giving out canisters left and right. I could give one per person of great merit per year, and I would still be giving away much more power than the Shapers. People would need to do much in order to gain so many canisters to become as crazy as everyone is describing, and even then they will be spread out, so they will have had time to cope with the changes in their minds.

quote:Excellent, I approve. The first group pleases me greatly, they show initiative, and I like that! The second group is good as well, as they will keep me on my toes at all times. It is important for such leaders to be kept constantly alert, it makes me stronger. Should they ever actually succeed (doubtful) then I simply got what I deserves for letting my guard down. Nalyd: Everyone is overconfident in the Geneforge world. I don't see how any other group would have an advantage over me. Tuladric: Don't compare me with that Awakened scum! Tuladric enjoyed his fair share of canisters, so it is no wonder he saw the same purity of thought that I do. But we have totally different political views: I see the danger in letting creations run rampant, and he did not. That's why he is dead now. The failure. quote:It makes perfect sense, considering who Nalyd is. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

quote:If drayks had existed without having been shaped into existence, I think it still would have happened. After all, the Empire from Avernum tried to genocide dragons, yes? And that world has no shaping to blame for their problems, who will you scapegoat there, government? "Oh, man, if only there were no govrnment, there would be no dragon genocide..." If anything, shaping the drayks into existence in the first place almost makes the attempted genocide worth it. Is not the creation of life ten times more valuable than it's destruction? Anyone can genocide, shaping or no. But shaping gives an ability that no other world has, the ability to create life! That is huge! How can you deny its value? -------------------- You lose.

The only thing keeping people loyal to me is the promise of power in the form of canisters. This is where the canisters makers come in. Making canisters is a rare skill that requires a well equiped workshop. He who controles the means of creating canisters controls the Tullegolite armies. I'm not sure how many workshops a large force needs, but the rebels only seem to have a few, maybe even just one person (Master Jared) who makes them at all. I will keep the secret of creating canisters between myself and the people who actually make them, and I will make sure I am always more powerful than the makers. I will keep them somehwere nearby at all times so that if someone wants to attack me or them, they must attack both of us. People would not want to endanger the source of the canisters, so I should be safe from attack. I might have to worry about the makers betraying me, but I think as long as I keep them in a constant state of luxury and give them all the supplies they need to continue their mad crusades and grand experiments, we should get along just fine. -------------------- You lose.

This is a common misconception. Canisters and the geneforge don't "wound your mind." They slowly perfect it, giving you clarity as it grants you the ability to see the world for what it really is. As your physical strength and powers grow, so must your mind in order to keep up with these powers. It gives you ambition, and a winning mindset. What good are the powers they give you if you do not have the will to use them? After all, why should you ever be talked down to by beings lesser than yourself? People who are foolish enough to do so deserve death, and your new brain assures they get what they deserve. Only with this new outlook on the world can you find your place in it, and that place is on the top, ruling over others, not listening to their endless babble.

I would, of course, encourage people to try and overthrow me. It's an excellent way to keep myself fit and alert. But really, I think it would only take a few particularly gruesome examples before challenges to my power stop altogether. If the PC kills me, then so be it. I'll be throwing back cold ones with Diablo, the Master and Rentar-Ihrno in the next life. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

quote:Excellent. One down. Though I must say that convincing someone named Good Canisters that canisters are good is not the most satisfying accomplishment. Randomizer: Powerful officers will have no qualms about giving others power. They will not be afraid of being overthrown. The arrogance caused by the canisters assures this. Sure, those new to the canisters will be rash and disagreeable. But those at the top of the food chain, those that have used the most canisters and have had the most time to hone their abilities I imagine will be more like Litalia. Enlightened. They will be what the army draws its strength from, physically and spiritually. But Tullegolar, no one ends up like Litalia! Well, they will have to in order to survive. Otherwise, they will go the way of Trajkov and Barzahl. Only those that learn how to control themselves can reach the top and become great leaders, like Litalia. I only hope that pessimism isn’t a prerequisite for that enlightenment. Litalia annoys me. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Barzahl's army didn't have any infighting. They had a clear goal, and they went for it in the Barzite ending. So it is possible. Edit: Dissatisfaction with rank is desirable in my army. The canisters will be more closely guarded than gold, obviously, so them getting stolen by low ranking fools is not a possibility. The only way to get back at the officers would be to earn canisters, and the only way to earn canisters is through valiance in battle. Then, if you are powerful enough to kill your officer, so be it. If you succeed, then the officer was both foolish to anger you and too weak to continue to be in command anyway. Should things in the army get too out of hand, then the intellectuals or even myself (who would have already used far more canisters than anyone else) shall move in and reimpose order.

quote:Where is the reasoning for that? Isn't this how all armies work to a degree? Also, the main concern would be survial. Both sides are bound to hate a faction that uses canisters and opposes creation rights. It's all a matter of ideology, when you're fighting for what you believe in, little else matters. I think people would support my beliefs, all people like power, and people are constantly becomming more and more hostile towards creation rights due to the insanity of the drakons.

Then in the case of the Trakovites would the gun analogy be more relevant? They don't seem to concern themselves much with creations rights. They seem to focus mostly on the destructive powers of shaping. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Shaper Monarch - I get the impression that such madmen are few and far between. Canisters - This is a good thing! The next step in evolution. 3 Geneforges - See above, only times a thousand. If everyone were so blessed by the geneforge, they would no longer fight against each other (see other thread) and it would mean the end of war. Drakons - This is why the shapers are justified in destroying these things. They want rights, but if all they can do is express themselves through violence I would rather die then see them allowed to live. Drayks - See above. Tyranny - There will always be tyranny, shaping or no. Mad Rebels - This is a result of not enough shaping, not too much. If only the Shapers would build their own geneforge and canisters, the rebelion would stand no chance. Gazers - Another mistake, but also one easily remedied with more shaping (of the destructive kind). Wars - Yeah... and a world without shaping would mean a world without war? Genocide - I think the shapers were content to allow some drayks to live out their lives on Sucia, it's only now that they have become a threat again that they deserve to die. It seems the biggest cause of problems is not shaping itself, but the contageous notion of creation rights. One that seed of hope gets out there, it is difficult to crush. But I am confident that it could happen if only the shapers would stop restraining themselves. The world needs more shaping, not less! -------------------- You lose.

I am confident that loyalty would be maintained with promises of great power to those that served well. The Shapers have a large army, and what do they give them in return? Their lives? My option is clearly the best because you have the potential to gain great power and you don't have to worry about ending up a slave to creations like you are when you're a rebel.
