You're a great guy Jeff this game kicks ass 😃

I got to day 1500 in the original Avernum III and everything was just wrecked xD  There was a derelict prison for Troglodytes in the ruins of Sharimik.

What I was wondering is will Lorelei eventually crumble like in the original Avernum III where you could just kill all the guards and the cities would get eradicated overnight - eventually you could gain access to anywhere in Sharimik and Lorelei because the towns were just destroyed - didn't even have to stop the slimes or roaches 😃

Alright - so after the Avernite/Empire War and the various atrocities committed by the Empire I say screw making Peace with Empress Prazac, helping the Empire, and settling peacefully.  The monster plagues put Avernum in a perfect situation to get some REAL vengeance - so for starters the new Avernum III should have the option to wage war against the Empire as an alternate story path - various things I would donate half my liver to see put into the game:

1.  Ability to engage and eventually defeat the Empire Third Army through a long battle of attrition.
2.  Alien Beasts escape Quarantine - eventually ravaging Blackcrag and evoking a military response after two years into the campaign.
3.  Monster Plagues Evolve to become more Vicious:  ie Alien Slimes roving around - Troglo/Giant War Bands that invade and occupy whole towns
4.  Ability to Raze Towns:  If a towns population  is wiped out by force the eradication of the town can be completed with Move Mountains or occupied by Avernite forces/civilians
5.  Dark Wyrms Hunt:  Eventually the Dark Wyrms and Drakes/Dragons will emerge to hunt for food and treasure - which they might find on your collective corpses if you're not ready
6.  Negative reputation:  Killing Empire Soldiers and Civilians earns negative reputation that will eventually illicit attacks from the Empire.
7.  Initially your party and Avernite forces are attacked on sight - situation can escalate to Empire Invasion of Fort Emergence 

I actually made it to day 1600 before my computer died and took that game to The Grave - there was a Troglo Prison being run in Sharimik and everything was in absolute ruins - I'd destroy walls and magical barricades for fun - Role Playing that the Refugees hiding from you will need to bring them back online once you leave the City - would also loot and buy nice things like plants from the surface - then started buying things like bricks and assaulting the Empire Army over 200 times XD  Every day for months I logged in and massacred at least 250 Empire Soldiers - 

Just started a new game and buffed my Characters using the Editor and have already wiped out the surface in 30 Days - 

So to make a long story short I listened deep within my heart and heard the voice of my Party - they were enthralled to see the Monster Plagues in Avernum III - The four of them are Nephil/Slithzerikai Heritage and remember well the various Genocides committed against their kind by the Empire - particularly fresh is the Invasion of Avernum and the Great Massacres - including the Mass Grave full of Slith Children - So I say again my Party rejoiced at the Plagues and began to train - to become Elite Warriors capable of slaying vast numbers of the enemy without assistance.  

Your Mission was to Explore and Assist the Surface Worlders - Instead we have Declared War - I have gone town to town using Divine Strength Buff - Every single city on the Surface World - including Gail at Day 1200 - were breached and their populations destroyed.  It is Masterful with regards to Jeff that the town decay is so much more significantly complete if the Guards have been wiped out.
