This poll is about forging.
I personally liked the G3, G4 way of forging better than the G1, G2 way. I like the anvil, it was a good idea to add it as it adds a whole new dimension to the game.
I liked the items of G3 the best, specifically the artifacts. In G4 I miss the Emerald Chestguard a lot.
Thyey probably came from the Northwest or something. They most likely came from the north since they came from a cold and icy place. They also could have come from the south.
A much less likely scenario is that the map isn't up=north, down=south etc.
Where does it say that the empire didn't eventually fail? If I remember correctly Monarch said something about failing earlier and starting again in the Fens.
There are only 2 real trakovites in the game, yes, but since he pretty much completely aggrees with them, he gets to count as one.
Also, at the beginning the Trakos will only get rid of the worst of the shaping, which pretty much means the Rebels and the Shapers.
Let us look at the Trakovites we know.
Drew lives his life on the line trying to stop shaping. He wouldn't put so much at risk unless he really believed in what he was doing.
The Drayk wouldn't be able to shape, and therefore wouldn't be part of the conspiracy.
Khryk could have easily joined the Rebels and become very powerful. He chose not to, although they would love to have him because of his power.
Doesn't look like much of a backstabbing group does it.
Sorry, I hadn't realized it was dead. I just saw it as the second topic here and figured it was a new one. I don't check this forum very often, and figured that this was a fairly new conversation.
I always say the battle line as:
Battle Alphas/Glaahks/Clawbugs/Thads
Soldiers
Roamers/Vlish/Artilas/Fyoras
Guardians
Shapers/Agents
In G2 the Guardians shot you down with batons with their meatshields waiting in front. I always thought that that was the way they fought.
