i think you have it backwards, the common soldier is uneducated and pulled from the countryside, while the generals and other commanders are learned and trained at citys, while the soldier has awe for the shapers the generals dont, however "barons dont emmigrate". but your right everyone doesint think that way, however alot do, and thats called peer pressure.

litalia is the definition of a turncoat, i still vote alwan

true, but if you kill the rouge then they cant come after you, and essence lances definitely has the power to kill.

They already were insignificant by the time his campagin started. you forget that the shapers inspire worship and a fanatical sense of duty and loyalty, asking the common loyalist soldier to become a trakovite would be like asking them to assasinate their god. in their mind, its not that its wrong to do, its impossible to do.

i gotta go with essence lances, you can stike then move behind your creations.

i vote alwan

Trakovites might never gain their veiwpoint in Shaper lands but Rebel lands arn't controlled as tightly. in that case it would hurt the rebels and allow for an easier shaper victory as they will be heavily discouraged from creating new creation types and will therefore adapt less quickly to the new creations that the shapers will undoubtedly invent.

The stalemate contiunes once again. if gazaki-uss falls then it is more or less a alwan game ending, and thru that we know that he is capable of doing just that, alwan is a military genius.... you underestimate him.

my personal favorite creation is the cryodrayk, however for sheer ability id have to go with kyshaak with a rotdhizon, you have acid and melee with a nasty lightning aura ranged attack.

im not really overestimating her influence, the plan does not call for greta to win, she is merely a distraction to draw ghaldrings forces away for long enough so alwan can march on the drakon capital, after that falls its simply alwans ending just a little later.

Originally Posted By: Master Ackrovan he has the ability to hold the rebels back when that is the only line, let us not forget that astoria has a temporary truce with the rebels in the north so ghaldring has the vast majority of forces at the southern line. given that greta rebels(which is key)the drakons are forced to fight 2 wars, with 2 lines,knowing drakon arrogance they would run over to the rebel-rebels and try to massacre them, allowing alwan to stage a massive attack on the other line, thereby at least taking the drakon capital(forgot what -uss it was this time). with this sudden victory the eastern councilors would back alwan,so would taygen,rawal,but astoria would not. and if anyone has played the alwan ending you know that it doesint end well for the rebels.

ignore this

Also, if the Drakons create something more horrible than the unbound or Shredbugs. That would just help prove the Trakovites point of veiw. not really, both greta and the drakons and the shapers all simultanously hate the trakovites, so while it may help help them in theory, it just doesint cut any wounds for the 3(counting greta) major factions, at the least it provides serious internal strife the likes the rebels have never seen.

i play it on and off, but when im playing it you can generally find me up at 5 AM.

i very well could be dead wrong but, this isint the place to post typos is it?

or you can turn it around and say that while alwan puts up his valiant fight against the rebels the drakons become even more desperate and realease something horrible, that finally sends "greta's coalition" over the edge and they become a seperate entitiy, divided the shapers mow down the rebels and claim a bloody and hard fought victory. the trakovites gain no real power as after the victory the shapers have all this paranoia just waiting to be unleashed, they tighten controls and target litalia, theyre leader dead the trakovites slowly fade into myths and legends.

i think jeff just put them in G5 as a nod to the series gone by.

well in light of that evidence i withdraw my former comment.

i just dont think he would be satisfied with just swapping game engines, i think jeff would try a from the drawing board method.

ehhh, i think it will be alot faster as jeff has gotten alot better at codeing and when he redoes a game he doesint have to start from scratch.

well at this rate i can probaly fill up my slots with just about anything i want as the essence to creation cost ratio isint very good, as ive said im level 9 with 200 essence.

serviles are very gullible creatures, so i imagine that when the serviles from sucia came to terrestia the other serviles were awed by there speech and intellict, and thus had a very good hold on the minds of the impressionable serviles. that and they liked the idea.

overworked leads to madness, but yeah thats about it.

i was gonna go for a pack of cryodrayks, which is more powerful?

at level 9 i have close to 200 essence and energy, 5 points into BM, 4 MM, 1 Bless, o spellcraft. 10 leadership, 7 mech, 1 luck, 3 fire shape, 2 BS, 1 MS. im generally pretty powerfull, i just cant quite make it thru the upper wastes.
