Considering Shirley Vogel hadn't been mentioned in this topic before MM's post, I don't think he was asking who Shirley Vogel was. It's possible he was suggesting that she might have a copy of the original Exile I.

quote:This is false on at least two counts: 1) Missile attacks are much harder to parry than melee attacks, and a lot of enemies have high Parry. 2) The best bow in the game, which can be found at the very end of the game if your party meets certain conditions, is ridiculously powerful. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Emerald Mountain uses scripting to keep the scenario in daytime all the time. You might want to look at how it does it and modify it for your needs. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

You can't get into the Scree Caves until it's time for you to do so. Go to the Castle, keep doing missions for Houghton, and eventually the way will be opened up for you. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Come to think of it, people didn't know what to expect when they were sent down -- I recall a conversation somewhere in one of the Exile games mentioning that some people on the surface believed that there was no air in Exile and everyone sent there died quickly, while a few believed it was a paradise. So if the FE did send information back, it was kept secret from the general public. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

quote:So basically, history tells you that governments that believe that might makes right consistently end up being overpowered by governments that don't believe that might makes right. Doesn't that seem like a pretty heavy blow to your philosophy? After all, if might makes right, and governments that refuse to believe that might makes right are mightier, then it's right to refuse to believe that might makes right.

C++ is a programming language, not a scripting language. But yes, his earlier games are in C and his more recent games are in a mixture of C and C++. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

quote:You assume that ET believes there's even such a thing as "the wrong hands". His philosophy of power seems to be that anyone who has the ability to do something has therefore earned the right to do it. I hope he won't be offended if I call this a fascist view, since that's pretty much literally what it is.
