And I still didn't finish it. Here it is so far http://www.ironycentral.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=136148

Oh thankyou so much. *Downloads*

You forgot the GIFTCockroaches.

Well, he doesn't so much die as fall apart. The magic holding him together falls out of balance. His limbs begin to twist and flail in unnatural, agonizing ways. He screams, a long, unbroken, wrenching howl.";

It had those creepy stalking things (Although I liked the exile graphic better.)

Well I've applied for the first time. Hoping for the best.

There was that Prince Hrothar (?) that was Liched back in E1/A1. I think he wasn't a magician.

From what I recall the Sholai come from a single country across the western ocean and it's either really cold or hit at doesn't have much natural resources.

Since the Shock Trall bumped this up I'll just say the wiki is moving ahead quite well. We still don't have official titles for the PCs and some of the games but nevertheless there is activity.

Oooh this is good new information. I didn't know how to extract the beginnings and endings. If the war began on the Ashen Isles the only thing that makes sense to me is that the Rebellion attacked eastern Terrestia at the same time as the Ashen Isles. And taking out the biggest concentration of Shapers for hundreds of miles would make a great case for where the war definitively started. As well as the new and improved Drakon Geneforge.

G3 says Terrestia (Not East or West) is one of two continents. Speaking of G5, is NW part of Terrestia in the game?

Over four Millennia? that really is a long time Pushes the timeline way back. I wonder where they started counting the years? When they alighted on the mainland? Their first successful conquering? That also shows that tribes still living on Sucia were fairly recent as was the conquering of Terrestia. Quote: No. We know exactly where Sucia Island is because the G1 ending mentions that it is actually not too far from a city by the name of Dillame. So it's east of Terrestia. That's my point if the Shaper Empire is a few milennia old and Terrestia was only conquered in the last couple of centuries, how come they started their empire on the other continent if they were off shore of the site of Dillame.

Ok, now we have a time period. I'll keep that in mind. In G2 it mentions crypts that predate the Shapers by centuries. This brings up the already asked questioned (I remember there was a topic) How did the Shapers colonise/migrate? When leaving Sucia did they take the long route and end up on the further away continent because it seems like they were in power for longer than 2-3 centuries. Is Sucia Island actually north of the Ashen Isles as some assume?

Thanks, I already had most of that stuff noted but the Drakon comment is very interesting. So would you say 20-25 years between G2-G4; (Using Loading screens) around 9 between G3 to G4. I can live with 10-15 year difference between G2-G3. Thoughts?

I've been working on a Geneforge timeline again and I have hit a snag. I have no idea how much time has passed between the games because I have read through the scripts and no character was helpful enough to give even an estimate of how long. All I know is the rebels have been hiding on the Isle of Spears for 'years' and Litalia contacted Hodge 3 years before. Oh and Litalia was around the PC's age when she renounced the Shapers. This puts it anywhere from 4 years to over a decade. I know there are people here than love timelines and working out things so could I have some input on how long you think it is? Only other thing I can think of is to start reading the G4 scripts and hope someone refers way back to G2 with any number of years attached.

But when you talk to the mine's Servant Mind it talks about how Serviles there became dissatisfied with the conditions (lack of food etc.) and left (Rebelling against the Mind's control). That's what I meant by the quoted comment perhaps it could have been written more clearly.

Well I have started working on a timeline of sorts. Currently I've gone through Pre Geneforge times to the end of Geneforge 2.

Quote: begintalknode 34; state = 31; nextstate = -1; condition = 1; question = "Why are drayks and serviles the servants?"; text1 = "_Because the drakons are the ones who were created to be able to shape. Barzahl of the Rising determined what quality humans had that enables them to absorb and work essence and gave that trait to the drakons._"; text2 = "_He thought he would use them as servants. He was wrong._"; Looking through the Geneforge 2 scripts I've just confirmed that the ability to hold essence is genetic. I'm still maintaining that not all humans can have this trait. Reading further turns out I was wrong. Apparently any human with magical training can do it. But I think Shapers probably have an affinity for it. begintalknode 61; state = 54; nextstate = 55; condition = 1; question = "What is so special about being a drakon?"; text1 = "_We are big and strong, but that is not all. We have a quality otherwise only had by humans. We can hold essence._"; text2 = "_Humans with magical training can absorb essence into themselves and use it to Shape. So can we. Drakons are the first creation that can Shape._"; text3 = "_And we will use that power, no matter what it costs, for our ultimate goal._"; begintalknode 3;

I liked it, very slice-of-life.

They fled the now environmentally screwed island to mainland where they started all over again with the conquering.

Here is an alien of the gray type.

Programs have versions along the lines of 1.2.3, and creations are type.design.generation. Actually that works. And when you work in the loading screen reports it fits even more. Example, Battle Alpha on the loading screen would be 901.22.92. Before I saw this post I had edited in my thoughts on generations and due to the war they going through them quicker.

Ah thanks so much Slarty. Wow, they finally have a fyora report? I've been waiting two games for that. So about 5-6 years between reports. What is the time period period between G4 and G5. I remember that there is a 7-10 year break between G3 and G4. Update: Start of G4 Greta mentions that 2 years ago the Kyshakks appeared on the battlefields. Note to self: I wonder on average how long creation generations are.

I remember hearing somewhere that G3 there name cameos of Arrested Development characters in the east port town on Dhonal's Isle.
