I've never registered the Avernums, but as far as I know, Doston is never mentioned through out the Exile trilogy. If you're trying to compile only Vogel-created matter, don't include Doston.

I wish beneficial spells could be cast on friendly monsters as well as yourself, and that attack spells could be cast on yourself in case you ever wanted to. I'd also want to be able to target certain terrain spots so I could get rid of invisible monsters, although I know it would be difficult because of the Avernum engine. Summoning spells, bind foe, and terror also need to be improved.

Well, seemingly "only Vogel-created matter" seems to not include a lot of things - ranging from the name "Ermarian" to the Aizonian (First) Empire and all stuff. That is why I was disappointed when I was scolded for trying to make up an Aizonian history, but I guess it's just because I haven't been here long. :P

Basically I (I'm not sure who else is still in this) would have to include stuff that is non-Vogel made. And really, the point of this thing is getting an authorized (ie. Jeff-Vogel-Approved), official compendium on the stuff that has been made up by the various designers. Designers keep adding to the world, and to avoid confusion we should have a reference site for checking which islands are currently where, etc. I've even got a name for the thing now: The Encyclopædia Ermariana.

And - completely off-topic (or should I say 'on-topic' since this thread was originally for BoA :D ) healing spells on summoned creatures work in Avernum 3, but only with mass healing. I tried it. :D

My biggest wish for BoA - that the New Scenario released by Jeff goes more into the details of the planet/the Empire's history/something significant to the Avernum universe. Like Za-kazi run- sure, it's deemed by many to be the worst thing Jeff has ever released professionally, but it goes into the post-Avernum 3 state of Avernum. Namely, the Second Slith War. Sure, the Fourth Scenario will be chalked full of uniquely BoA features, but seeing something important happen or revealed would be nice.

Edit: I assume you're referring to the history 'book' Scipio, since our scenarios won't take Jeff's time. :P

We could all write it together, send it to him for approval and he'd maybe put it up on the site. :) And the process of checking if the facts are right wouldn't take as long as writing the thing.

Sounds interesting, doesn't it? :D

And thus it came to pass that a project was started and never completed! Here's to two great years of the Encyclopedia, that wonderful project conceived on July 17th 2003 and almost updated/fiddled with almost every two months!

Sorry. Won't be doing this again.

A moderator is not Aran.

But trying to score points this way sounds like spitting on a grave.

And I swear your "Juicy Lucy" stuff is getting annoying. I hope Thuryl didn't sanction this name, or my respect for him has taken a dip. :rolleyes:

I assure you, I didn't. On the other hand, I'm not going to stop people from expressing themselves just because they choose to do so in a slightly annoying manner. I hope you don't think any less of me for this stance.

There are some topics that should die, preferrably unnoticed. There are others whose deaths we regret, when they are deleted without the chance for archiving them. There are yet others that will live on in the archives once they are deleted.

And then there are some choice few that I want to keep. I figure that's not too much to ask, is it?

Well, I could have done without the last few posts of this topic being brought back up.

Sorry Thuryl. As consolation, they're more of an embarrassment to me than you - after all, #3870 is mine. That's right; I left and returned with a multi account to defend myself in my absence. I wasn't any better than the lowest noob.

I hope I've grown a bit since then.

(And yeah, this was the other topic. Encyclopedia Ermariana forever!)
