Delicious Vlish

Of course we have bones. We are mammals. We have spines too. And nipples.

Maybe off topic would be better for this exchange?

Battle Alphas Gone Wild!

 

**Shudders right down to his vlishy bones**

Vlish don't taze people silly.

 

We deliver feisty tentacle slaps of pain and occasionally slurp delicious brains out through their nostrils.

 

Oh, and occasionally, we like to watch human appendage porn.

 

Now stop taunting the mods, before I am forced to release a box of Almarian face leaping spiders. You wouldn't like that at all.

First off, well written posts have always been a staple. Second, profanity, whole or implied, isn't allowed. The response is what brought about mod action.

 

Violation of the Code of Conduct, short and simple.

It was how the second thread was posted with the lovely little snipe at the bottom.

 

Do not worry. You are safe (for the moment) from my tentacle fu.

This thread is a duplicate. Please don't spam.

Please read the code of conduct before you continue posting. Thanks.

 

Edit. For the record, thread was locked for misconduct, not because the trainer violated any rules. Please pay attention and stop trying to start a scuffle. You will wind up canned.

 

Thank you to everybody else for trying to make this place an enjoyable read.

 

 

Might I remind you folks of a thing called a spell checker...

 

Really, it takes just a second or two to tidy up and make things nice for others to read.

 

Gode? Really? Come now, things have been slipping lately. We've always pushed for a well written post here.

Um, read the creation surveys. Vlish are filled with helium.

 

We also move through controlled flatulence.

 

Probably the greatest act of shaping ever, was the omnidirectional anus.

Down here, we all float.

 

Edit.

 

Does anybody think the new farty sound that happens when you physically attack a vlish as absolutely hilarious?

 

Even more comical is the terror that takes over a creation after the strike. The bad smell must drive them away or something. It is like punching a whoopie cushion.

 

 

Ah, but there has always been an element of truth in these threads.

 

(Really, seriously, if you see a big fat purple kyshaak, you had better run!)

Council Kyshaaks, the pets of the council, are the real concern.

 

Think gazer like attack, hitting everything on screen. Only lightning attacks. Surrounded by a searing cloud of lightning, you take hundreds of damage per turn. That is, if you survive the initial hit.

 

With enough grounded items though they aren't to bad.

 

The cryokyshaaks are much worse, in my opinion, as there are very few ways to resist cold attacks. The polar fur cloak you get at the start of the game is worth 50 coins, so it is typically sold. Which, I discovered, is a bad idea. Of course, even if there were items, it wouldn't help much, as you are fighting null turrets during the big battle when you first meet the cryokyshaaks, and those lower your resists with each hit.

 

If you happen to see a big purple looking kyshaak, run.

Well, he's a guardian. To be fair, he's not adept at magic or shaping.

 

There are shapers and agents. These are not run up and poke you with a sword types. These are dissolve you with a gesture types.

 

And not regular shapers either. Council members. And the best minds that the shaper empire has to offer.

You must remember, you aren't facing the backwater shapers you are used to. Alwan and Miranda were low ranking nobodies. Remember, Alwan didn't even finish school. Remember the comments about worthless shapers being sent to the backwater wastes just to be rid of them? Like Zakary?

 

You are in the heart of the shaper empire now, facing real shapers, with abilities and powers you've never seen before. And remember in the screen shots of the game on who you will be meeting in this game.

Yes. He isn't delicious. At all.

 

You get to meet a few proto creations that the shapers enslaved, experimented on, bred, and then used as a template for shaping. The proto fyora is bad because the burning lasts for dozens of rounds, the lingering fire damage is quite painful. The proto vlish, well, I can't let to many details slip, but if you have any creations at all, he will seize their minds, call them to him, and then send them out to hunt you. You get to see the games powerful new scripting in action.

 

You really shouldn't get to attached to your creations in this game really. They can be turned against you at will by REAL shapers. Not the whiny little milksops you've encountered in the previous backwater territories. Some very powerful shapers will simply absorb your creations and make your army go poof. If you play a servile, you must be very, very careful to never face these shapers directly, or they will simply unmake you with a wave of their hand. And then it is game over man. You'll be looking at a death screen and reading some text that tells you that you messed up big time.

 

The power of the shapers is absolute and brutal. You will see, before the end, why the drakons want that power for themselves.

You do get to meet the creature that the fyora is based on. Only it isn't cute, nor little, and it is capable of slapping a drakon around like a rag doll.

 

Shapers just made a cute little miniature version of it.

 

At first I thought it was Godzilla coming to get me.

 

And you don't even want to know what the proto vlish is like.

I am more bothered by the notion of high control during breeding that is mentioned on the survey.

 

I feel sorry for the shaper that has to be present for alpha breeding.

I can't wait until somebody runs up and stabs a sword golem.

 

We'll be hearing about that on the forums for sure...

 

"How do I beat the magic immune golem that reflects all physical damage blah blah blah..."

 

Just make sure your shaper is far, far, far away when it finally dies... The resulting death explosion and the physical damage the shrapnel does over the next dozen rounds or so is designed to rid you of your creations and possibly your worthless life.

 

Hint. Batons...

One canister to many, or one bad canister, or perhaps a faulty encounter with a geneforge.

I had the idea that it could be Phariton or whatever his name was, the guy that liked to shape exploding serviles.

Aura of flames? When almost everything is now fire resistant?

 

Good luck.

 

Ice ice baby to cold, to cold.

I rather liked the old skinless battle alphas and betas.

You will see how true it is when you encounter the new null turrets.

Well, the bronze sword problem was kind of dumb. You didn't need a bronze sword.

 

You just needed a non magical weapon. Several of the new creation types are completely immune to magic.

 

The only way to deal with them reliably is with battle creations. War Tralls are great because they throw rocks.

 

Unless of course you didn't invest in battle shaping. And then you are kind of boned.

The old fyora / cryoa graphics?

 

I know I do.

 

I do not care much for the burnt orange little monster we have now.

 

I miss the bright red little raptor.

 

Also, I miss the ability to create terror vlish.
