There are anywhere from 10 to 20 really good and dedicated scenario designers, and plenty more that could be with some work. New scenarios are being created now at a much faster rate than ever before. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Not going to happen. Too much for Jeff too code, and people can use an MP3 player or WinAmp for music. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Also, BoA will use a powerful scripting system to implement this, rather than BoE's lackluster node system. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Umm ... you can't really have custom races, and I don't see how you would really implement that. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

It will have the same three scenarios (and a new one). It will be the same kind of complement. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

NPCs can still gain levels, equipment, and skills in BoE, and I don't see why not in BoA. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Probably all on the same page, which doesn't seem too bad, considering that BoE graphics are the same way. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Well, the only size limitation about BoE was that we could only use 100 towns. BoA will use a 200 town maximum. I can definitely envision scenarios bigger and better than A3. Custom graphics are not a pain for BoE. I put together a decent graphics sheet in about five minutes. I'm not exactly sure how the sheets will work for BoA, though. Spells will never be editable, but items and monsters will reach never-before-seen levels of customization. They were able to be customized in BoE, but not nearly this much. Also, I'd avoid mentioning that you tested BoE. You will definitely run into hostility on the BoE board. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Pornography is prohibited in scenarios. Language is not an issue at all. Racial and sexual issues, if directed at Sliths, Nephils, or any in-game race seems fine, just so long as you don't single out black humans or anything like that. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
