Tatter's author is long gone, and porting any scenario with custom graphics will take a long, long time.

Er, sorry that was Starbound II: http://www.mac.org/games/starbound_II/

I'd recommend Master of Orion II or III over GC and Starbound, though.

Starbound III is still very much alive, and I'd recommend it over Galactic Core. Definitely.

I think Mad Monks have 9 AP. That means they can attack three times per round. The attacks are not actually faster.

It's not quicker - they just have more AP.

Yes, Jeff has said that there will be the same three old ones and one new scenario.

I think everything will sell at the maximum possible selling price. Also, it will be possible to set the prices of the merchants' goods that you buy based on reputation or how much they like you.

Monster ideas in Blades of Avernum

It's not too difficult - make a new terrain type that looks like water but actually is like a floor. Separate that from the coast with a special node that checks for your "swimming" skill level and will only let you enter if you can swim. Then you can walk around and fight the monsters. You could also tie in an oxygen counter, like in Hyrdo's Fount, if you want to.

Actually, try the latest OS X version of Avernum 3. It supposedly has multiple user support.

It looks like it should be rather easy - a lot of conversation options depend on reputation and that's treated easily and often enough.

Lucre is their deity. The Anama follow Ascai.

Falling Stars already uses good/evil flags and karms - you may want to email Alcritas for help/advice.

Yes, BoE can do that with Increment Flag. You can choose how much you want to increment or decrement the flag.

Falling Stars actually has a system exactly like this. For stealing and breaking into homes, your karma goes down, and nobody will give you quests or join your party.

I can see where it would be quite easy to set an evil party, but I'd need to outline specific situations.

You have Ascai and the Divine Lucre as the main deities.

There will be no Avernum 4. In Blades of Exile, At the Gallows serves as an Exile IV, but it will most likely remain on the Exile side. Blades of Avernum will allow the user to create scenarios, and there will be some that are large enough and good enough to be an Avernum 4.

It's a pity that BoA won't support it, but Pygmalion should.

Jigga's right. A lot of your proposed changes are impossible within the Avernum engine. Jeff is just looking for midlevel spells and skills based on a certain level in other skills.

They were taken out because they didn't fit into the way Jeff programmed his engine. We'd all like to see them return, but it won't happen in BoA.
