Erebus the Black

see might and magic - world of xeen (can't remember which side, probably both)

I heard somewhere that there was some (computer) product that came with a eula stating that if you sent a letter in so and so time to the company you would get 100$ check from it, just to see how many people actually read it.

you forgot octarine

Who's on first?

She wasn't the last one, if you had played the DL ending you'd had seen there were a lot of dark loyalists there.
Only the assassins were caught and defeated.


And yet he should have had a few for backup, and if the crown was really sincere about their intentions of capturing dorikas quickly coupled with the assumption that travelling to the depths of the frontier didn't take very long, traveling to the castle and back should have taken less than that with the castle being closer.



Then why did he send his men to do the job themselves instead of ordering them to wait in the keep until they could mount a proper offence?



See dikiyoba's response



doesn't make him a good commander to serve under



I know that you don't have to kill the dragon, however had he not needed the help you had to fight through the entire keep in order to reach your boat or pylon

 

This still doesn't make him a good commander

hoard hoard hoard, change script to allow easier hoarding, then sell anything with a value wich is a multiple of 4, those that are not I sell only in batches of multiples of 4 to maximize profit.

(second run thoruogh in A5 to join dark-side I changed value of all kwoledge and wisdom and mandrake to 1, so they'll be easier to get and so I won't sell them by mistake)

wow, I have so much to say about this subject that I can't remember it all...

so I'll (probly) add edits as I remember stuff (if I remember, got to finish that damn project soon or I will be permanently stuck as a first degree dtudent),

so if this really interests you keep checking up

 

First of all, neither of them is a good commander in my eyes, both being *expletive deleted* in the end game.

 

Redmark, allowing a spy to run in his midst without propper investigations although his men keep being way-layed at every point and on every step should have taken matters more seriously if capturing dorikas quickly was so important to him. Having to wait for papers the entire game

seems completely stupid, put simply, there is no way for him to know whether his men returned or just jumped ship and decided to become locals (I don't believe anyone would have turned them down in muck). As of such extra papers handy would have been an entirely reasonable thing to have in order to get the proper dervishes enroute with the scout group (especially with a portal service being given for free by the avernites) and to make sure they are alive and

still doing their jobs.

 

Not having proper equipment at the beggining is reasonable as Newsome wrecked anything he could put his hands on, and teleporting troops with heavy gear from the surface requires a very large amount of energy and so would probably not be applied to green-hornes that annoyed their commanders and so were sent off to the "penal colony".

However that doesn't mean the black-chasm stores shouldn't have improved their wares as time went on, and given their services for a loss to the troops sent on the most vital of missions; even if supplies were not coming in regularly (remeber that commerce goods were being shiped regularly to the surface from there) some high quality equipment should have been put aside for those sentients.

 

And in the end-game when you finally reach the black keep, and you go back to report it to him, if it is so important to the man to kill his arch-nemesis himself he should have offered to join himself (papers or no papers, no one would really have be able to tell if somone snuck in from the portals, it's empire buisness, the avernites wouldn't have interfered just like they didn't with what's her name, especially not with a general; they might send a report to the capital but the circumstances are extenuating).

 

Dorikas is *expletive deleted* right *expletive deleted*, drugging his men in order to achieve better battle effectiveness!

Pretending to support other men while all the time vying for the throne himself.

Lying to his dervishes so they switch sides and work for him.

Sending someone who wishes to join him to kill a dragon (that we got through it by sweet talk and black work is our good luck, had Melanchion not needed help there would have been no other choice but to kill him (other than maybe threatening him that we'll talk like spiders )).

One might want to help him but certainly not to allow him to command oneself.

 

Oh, and we didn't get to hear what the message he sent to the avernites through the old man (the pylon erector) was.

picking heirs isn't as easy as you'd think

your chars don't die they fall unconscious, if they all fall unconscious then they die and the game is over (if you are playing in iron-man mode, where all your saves for the current party are erased immediately with your death)

don't bother

I was able to play the exile 3 game on XP-32 with only problem being the characters' pictures where a little off.

it was on a pentium 2 though

I just finished brisingr and am now reading moby dick

I rather preferred the exile method where you didn't have to waste mana(sp) on fireball when all you wanted was to fry a single goblin

isn't this irony central ?

check the most bottom-left frame:

NO NO NO

you need to talk to him and on a dialog option speaking of the drake instead of '(forgot word) you off' he tells you he keeps her underground as a source of information.

you can also ask the mayor of exodus and he will tell you upfront that kilgore has it, maybe that's what you are missing on.

Unless you like fighting your way out of a town, restore and try again.

There's a manual pdf given/installed with the game download (check in the avernum folder) which lists the exact formula to calculate the effectiveness of the unlock doors spell.

(If only I have checked it before starting my game)

there are also teo doors in the town, one in the mayors office and the other in top right corner

good luck

If someone starts with the shaman pre-made class they should be able to use aspect of the beast just like enemy shamans

One thing I feel lacking is that the games should give more xp for playing in harder levels as an incentive for non crazies

could you link the minis for A5?

is the level cap still 61?

are you going to make something this comprehensive for A4 or A5 as well?

also, doesn't tool-use also determine whether some buttons are usable?

also, strength is used to determine whether you can turn a wheel to open portcullis'.
