It's listed on the game's store page if it has it. The developer just has to figure out how to make use of it. I doubt it's as simple as browsing to the directory and saying "If this file exists, copy it to cloud," but the tools are there. May or may not cost the developer/publisher extra to make use of, but who knows?

E2: Weapon Augmentation Too Expensive To Pay At All?
Loserclassof06 replied to MacCentris's topic in The Exile Trilogy
Look around a bit on the internet and you can find an older version of the game. When he released the newer versions he changed the size of the image files too, but with a bit of creative cutting and pasting you can get your own little mix of the old and new graphics. I did. -
A2 Easter Egg
Loserclassof06 replied to Turingalila's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2000-2002 original versions)
Any relation to the Efreet weapon smith in that area in E2? If you have to use the Orb of Thralni to get there it's probably just a guard so you can't get über augmented weapons if you don't deserve them. -
Woops, looks like I'm wrong. I've consulted my notes and such, and it seems that Wall of Force is in the Verdant Valley, which is just a tiny bit southeast of Fort Draco. As long as you don't explore too much you can easily breeze through the "Bandit's Lair" there and get the spell. All you need to kill are about a half dozen Brigands, 2 or 3 Archers, and a pair of Apprentice Mages. Not to mention the hordes of Gremlins and various types of Cave Rats which just happen to inhabit the outer areas of the cave.

Ehh sorry if I don't remember if it's poison or disease, I already found all 5 and I learned after the first time(several years ago) that you shouldn't try to take it. And he can't get the reward if he doesn't register.

You don't start out with Wall of Force or Conflagration. We're saying early game. In the early game, you need Fireball to be effective so you can blast through the Nephil Fort with as few casualties as possible. Sure... you could spend a while killing those "Black Saber" guys under Fort Draco enough times to level up, but the point is that Flame Cloud is the only spell you start out with that does a damaging field and it only does one space. If you have enough money you can go buy Ice Wall in Formello, but that requires either a few kills, the editor, or the sale of rather invaluable early game equipment, ie. the Bronze Broadsword(+1)

Wand of Absorbtion
Loserclassof06 replied to DonJason's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2000-2002 original versions)
I don't know about Avernum, but if you play through Exile 1 and 2 you find out what the Wand of Carrunos does. "Used during the hunt to make the prey stronger" or something along those lines. I thought it would make them stronger and increase the exp gain from them proportionally, but what Xan said sounds a lot easier to code. In Exile 2 the info is in the Castle on a bookshelf. In Exile 1 you buy the information from a shopkeeper, don't remember who though. I think it's the one in Blosk. -
Oh yeah, flame cloud. One space. w00t. And one damage is a big deal when you only have 18-20 max health. It's also a big deal when they hit you 3 times per turn. And there's another reason its so low. You have to make the losses equal the gains. If he made toughness block a percentage of damage or a higher number per hit, it would be overpowered. I think that toughness is worth the 8 or so experience cost per level.

Heres another spoiler. The door is an empire supply cache. Don't try to take the stuff, or you'll get diseased and get nothing out of it. Just burn it. There are 5 of them and you'll get a reward later, assuming you have more than just the demo.

The only problem with that philosophy is that once you hit level 50 (supposedly the max level, never needed that high) and have all stats maxed (via Knowledge Brew, etc.) you would be weaker than a character who was given more extra bonuses at start but took a little longer to level. The added exp cost is nothing on a mage if he's the only one in the party, so you might as well heap it on. Besides, try casting Fireball without Magical Aptitude and only 4 or so intelligence. Chances are at least one of the enemies will get hit with a flame that says "0." If you can't kill them, you can't level up. And if you don't give people Toughness then you might lose your entire party. To a Giant Lizard.

Everybody loves GameFAQs Most of the walkthroughs for Exile and Avernum games there are posted as Mac FAQs but it's there.

Try going to a good old fashioned Walkthrough site. Or search "Exile # Walkthrough" or "Exile # Spell Locations." Of course, the Orb of Thralni pwns Flight and is in most cases easier to find.
