Right now, it's just BoA and Championship Manager (03/04). It owns my soul.

Notes about Blades of Avernum:

There are 256 possible floor types.
There are 512 possible terrain types (these go on top of floors).
There are around 10 default wallsets.
Monsters and items have greater flexibility.
Cutscenes are much more feasible and powerful.

Obviously, the included graphics will just be those used in the Avernum series, along with some from Geneforge and some new ones, but there is already a comprehensive searchable graphics database for Blades of Avernum.

General Warderson received a response from Jehan Sol within the next few days. It detailed the extensive victories against Populists, Ironclads, and Kylens, as well as its impeccable resolve to maintain the glory of the Empire as did Ironclad I. Sol requests the assistance of General Warderson in squashing the Eastern Populists and helping unite eastern Pralgrad under the banner of Sol. In return, he will receive a promotion and grand dukedom, and the assurance that the Empire will remain intact.

A good scenario will have over 50 scripts in its folder, many from towns and outdoor sections, but also many terrain and behavior scripts, even some that will not be used.

Item, monster, and terrain editing are all done in scripts, not in the editor. This is good in some ways, and horribly ineffective in others.

There are some hotkeys, but not much more than in BoE.

The Kylenian troops in the center of Solaran-supported territory were doing quite well against the remaining border forces, who were not prepared for such a quick and relentless attack. That paved the way for the Populist entry, which countered considerably less resistance than expected.

When Commandant Krilon swept into the Kylenian forces, a vicious battle ensued, with firestorms flying like the Empire had never seen. At the end, the Kylenians were overwhelmed by the superior training and numbers of the Solaran army. Forced to retreat, they stumbled back. On their way, they passed retreating Solaran troops of their own.

The leader of the retreating Solarans gave a quick description of the Populists and incited the routed Kylenians to catch the Populists in their moment of weakness and unpreparedness. Charging, the Kylenians swept into Lincoln, fire arrows burning down the hastily erected barricades and firestorms devastating the guards on the walls.

Battles are not my forté. However, if that was not your whole army then it was not Frederic's whole army either, just to make the proportions right.

My answer is also Rentar-Ihrno. She's one of the most developed characters who, in becoming a victim, became obsessed with revenge, and it became her undoing.

And I'm moving this to General.

General Frederic's armies arrived at the southern front just after the western Populists made their final push north. The determined Populists dented the already weakened Solarans, but the arrival of General Frederic made the defense insurmountable. The Populists, fighting like madmen, inflicted more damage than they should have, but fighting against the superior training and equipment of the Solarans, they perished nearly to a man.

It took 20 men to kill Linda's bodyguard and truss her up for her 'audience' with Sol.

Everyone misunderstood my post - my northern flank is the sea, and I withdrew all of my troops from Ironclad territory to fight the Alliance in central Pralgrad.
