Doom in Nethergate
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, May 27 2005 01:42 Profile Homepage #3 There aren't actually that many situations where it's useful. It only does a little more damage than Heartshock against most enemies, and it costs a lot more, so it's really only worth casting against targets immune to Heartshock, like the Widow Queen or the Crones. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Why do you like BoE but not BoA? in Blades of Exile
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, May 25 2005 21:31 Profile Homepage #22 For the BoE editor to keep track of every single usage of every SDF in a scenario and display it in a useful, readable format would be completely impractical. A single SDF could be set and checked in a hundred different places in one scenario. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Special Skills Analysis in The Avernum Trilogy
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, May 25 2005 12:12 Profile Homepage #1 One point of Blademaster is equivalent to one point of Melee Weapons plus one point of Pole Weapons. Barter is more complicated. Someone once constructed a table of how different shopkeepers react to different levels of Barter. All I remember was that the point was that you only needed a few points of Barter to get the best possible prices in some shops, but you needed a lot more to get the best possible prices in every shop. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I CANT WAIT FOR A4!! in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, May 24 2005 18:32 Profile Homepage #19 quote: Originally written by LlamaGod: And anyone who thinks Blade of Avernum scenarios should be canon are nuts. The point is not that BoA scenarios should be canonical (of course they shouldn't), but that A4 could potentially introduce new canon which would actively conflict with the already-created scenarios of designers who at least try to be canon-compatible, which seems a little unfair.

Why do you like BoE but not BoA? in Blades of Exile
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, May 24 2005 18:15 Profile Homepage #14 The problem is not running out of SDFs; it's keeping their numbering organised in a sensible way. The BoE editor docs suggest using a single A-value for a single town, but very often you need to use far more than 10 SDFs in a town. With 30 SDFs per A-value in BoA, this advice is much easier to follow. It would be pretty hard to actually run out of SDFs even in BoE, though. A maximum of 100 towns gives you an average of 30 SDFs per town -- even if you use the after-128 trick to give you 171 towns, that's still close to 20 SDFs per town, which is probably plenty. Scenario special nodes are a much stronger limiting factor in large scenarios.

I had in mind Europe, the UK, Canada. How about Italy? Its government seems a little too close to certain corporations. quote: The only reason campaigns are expensive is that the other guy is spending a lot of money and you have to compete. If no-one is allowed by law to spend zillions on television blitzes, then no-one needs to. Incidentally, the same argument applies to all advertising. In practice, though, with or without advertising, word of mouth will tend to favour old, well-known and well-established organisations in both politics and business.
