Saddam Hussein's Execution in General

Trakovites in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, December 29 2006 01:55 Profile Homepage #8 The longer the war drags on, the more Trajkov starts to seem like he would have been the least of all possible evils. At least he was capable of a decisive victory. All the more ironic, then, that the Trakovites want the war to continue.

Four Retribution! in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, December 28 2006 22:59 Profile Homepage #3 Yeah, BoA Divine Retribution enfeebled opponents. Enfeebling does pretty much what it says on the tin, and is fairly effective. Of course, it still only works against living opponents. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
SYNERGY LIST: GF4?Where To Find Stuff And What It Does in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, December 28 2006 17:28 Profile Homepage #23 quote: Originally written by 7Synergy7: P.S. You killed Jared, Thurly? Was this a pro-Shaper/pro-Trakovite/or anarchist's amorality moment? Pro-Shaper. Murdering people in Northforge Citadel at any time other than the Shaper endgame just triggers an auto-death script. quote: P.P.S. I don't remember the Uberoozebeast. Exactly where/what is it? It's an easter egg. Killing the oozebeasts in the northeast of Poryphra West Gate opens a secret path in the trees to the west. Behind it is the Uberoozebeast (which isn't really all that tough). Killing it gets you the Ornkskin Gauntlets and opens a path to the Create Ornk canister.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, December 28 2006 16:35 Profile Homepage #21 Another couple of items for this list: Stability Suit - Northforge Citadel - Jared (kill) - 16% armor, +1 action points, +25% stun resistance Ornkskin Gauntlets - Poryphra West Gate - Uberoozebeast (kill) - 6% armor, +2 Strength, +2 Endurance, +4 melee damage protection The Ur-Drakon at Grayghost Gates (Chorss?) also drops a reaper baton when killed. This is probably not the easiest way to get a reaper baton. [ Thursday, December 28, 2006 16:43: Message edited by: Cryptozoology ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Servile Battle Mage in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, December 28 2006 16:30 Profile Homepage #17 Sorry about the bump, but I've just confirmed that it's possible to get to level 45 with a singleton servile (playing as a Shaper loyalist through most of the game). Did it by going back to kill all the drakons in Grayghost Gates and Quessa-Uss Gate after doing pretty much everything else there was to do in the game. The drakons were still giving 25 XP a pop even once I was level 45, and while I didn't ever make any creations I did take Greenfang and Shotwell and some of the soldiers in the Monarch chapter, so it's possible that a dedicated singleton that very carefully managed the order in which it went through the game to maximise experience could even get to level 46. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Monty Haul in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, December 27 2006 15:10 Profile Homepage #1 I think diminishing returns on skill points is definitely a part of it. Once your fighter is an unkillable tank with 10 points of Parry and your spellcasters have enough energy to not worry about running out, a couple of extra dice on your Fireblast damage isn't going to swing the outcome of a battle.

Whats up with the Rebellion? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, December 27 2006 14:57 Profile Homepage #1 quote: Originally written by Lord Safey: My question is this refelected in geneforge 4 and do the shapers take the rebellions's tendency to fracture into account for when planing their strageties. Boy howdy, is it ever. I don't want to give out any spoilers, so let's just say that if you're expecting infighting within the rebellion in G4 I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Maybe gravity would repel you. Well, the gravitational force on an object with negative mass would be negative. However, a negative force acting on an object with negative mass would have the same effect as a positive force acting on an object with positive mass, so it'd still fall in the usual direction. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
