What, and you think a Rothdhizon or a alpha has any chance against a Eyebeast or Drayk, respectively?

One Two words: Stat boosts. As a shaper, you will need the +5 all magic skills from the Firesteel Gauntlets if you are to win at any difficulty harder than normal, and all the other boosts are pretty much crucial.

If you don't start there, the game is unwinnable.

Right, so I'd better trash my Girdle of Genius, Guardian Claymore, Firesteel Gauntlets, Assassins' Boots, and Agent Cloak since I don't need the best armor. Thanks for the tip! /sarcasm

 

Armor is very important. You will need good equiptment if you are to succeed in your goals.

You can't make a vaccine for a bacteria, either. Antibiotics, however, mean that virus is probably better. Ever played Pandemic II?

I'm going to be lurking in my sphere of influence for a LONG time. Those battles pretty much exhausted my strength. I'm not out by a long shot, though.

Look, it is quite simple to classify these things.

 

G1- Fire by a long shot, as the only tier 3 creations with range were Drayks. Magic comes seconds, and battle pretty much sucked.

 

G2- Magic. Eyebeasts stun, do massive damage, and attack everthing is sight. This is by far the nastiest creation ever invented.

 

G3- See above, but vlish of epicness, as well.

 

G4- Wingbolts. We're done here. (eyebeast nerfin, not so much...)

 

G5- Battle by a medium-small margin, with magic still packing some endgame punches with the Gazer and Eyebeast.

 

And I will stick by my assertion that bioweapons are far more devastating than atomic warheads. Virus that wipes out humankind != bomb that destroys city and contaminates surrounding area.

Dinitia is...? I don't remember every single character in every game, you know.

Most beginners, me included, pump magic, so I would assume that was what he pumped.

Blizzard is the George Lucas of Game design- great first product, poor sequels, and instead of letting it die, they spend [censored] of money to manage to come out with an even worse product to torture us with.

What, and they invented three new creations and designed another Geneforge in a few months, while it took the entire Shaper Empire years to do the same in G4?

Ghaldring's life is my measuring stick. He obviously wasn;t born in G1, but in G4 and 5 he is described as very elderly. Also, G2 is probably closer to 20 years after G1, otherwise all that research could have never taken place.

It kind of is when you suddenly change sides to a group that you've been avidly persecuting for a while. The only analogy I can think of would be if Hitler converted to Judaism in 1945.

No, 2000 years before 1. At least a century passes during the commencement of 1 to the end of 5.

Because you can.

Nononono, you've got it wrong. What you do is powder the lithium, and add it in small quantities to a mixture of iron oxide and aluminum. The result is thermite, a powder that, when lit, will reach over 2500 degrees Fahrenheit. Have fun melting through the engine of your car!

You can make up elements like Unbitrium, element 123. It doesn't exist, but who cares about reality?

Styrofoam egg cartons.

Yep, guardian claymore does 10-70 damage, but the extra +2 strength really makes it 12-84.

There are a LOT of weapons that do far more damage in G5 than pretty much any other Geneforge game- the Puresteel Blade's 25d5 attack is the largest and most powerful in the entire series, excepting the Guardian Claymore's G1 attack of 12d7, but it was more difficult to get high damage in that game.

(peeks into thread)

Are we done trolling one another now?

No, wait- I have a better plan. Quickfire should fix everything.

Incorrect. The badass-est base of operations is the Washington Monument. Shut down the elevators, barricade the doors, and seal off the stairway, and you have a shining white spire 555 feet tall that's completely impregnable. The Pyramids would be pretty cool, too, if it weren't for the whole "oxygen" thing.

That's why I said repel spirit...
