    I think there was some discussion years ago that the creations we shape are not the same as those you see grown in vats ? Might serve as an explanation, you can shape a drakon on the spot for combat but he is essentially just a body without much mind of his own ? I like your dominance theory, Ghaldring has never been one to share power, creating too many contenders would be foolhardy in his position. Especially when you consider that the drakons try to improve every generation.

    Moral discussions do tend to take a backseat during war though, especially if it is a total war. And yes, Jeff did choose this direction when he made the shapers a ridiculously powerful empire. There was never any other way but total war if a rebellion wanted to have even the slightest chance of success. How else could you beat a 2 continent empire with millions of subjects whose elite can not only use magic but also shape ?

    The time for moral discussions, right and wrong was in G1&2. Once the war started all that ceased to be important. I don't like it but it's the direction Jeff chose for the series. Attacking it with spawners is dumb regardless of whether Harmony has any strategic value or not. As you said, everyone but Diwaniya gets hurt while he is the only threat to the rebellion. But if you kill him off then gameplay on Harmony goes poof.

    Seriously ? You don't get how ridiculous you sound when you try to frame the shapers for the rebels murder of innocents ? Oh if the shapers only hadn't done this or that the rebels wouldn't have had to kill all those gatherers ? Really ?
  5. Nim
    Just....wow.
  6. Nim
    Nah, the Mac version from here lacks it too.

    z39northm.txt (PC) contains beginstate START_STATE; // clear zone? if ((zone_clear(ME) == FALSE) && (get_flag(37,16) > 0) && (get_flag(40,17) > 0) && (get_flag(38,2) > 0)) { clear_zone(37); clear_zone(38); clear_zone(39); clear_zone(40);

    Both possible. Afaik there are a variety of issues that ForceDirectDrawEmulation solves but that doesn't mean there can't be other stuff it doesn't help with. Can't say I've seen many of those if any at all.

    Guys, stop saying this can't be fixed / isn't a problem when we have a sticky for exactly this. Shameless self-quote from http://spiderwebforu...em/#entry232161

    The purity agent doesn't kill human rebels or drakons. That's not wiping out the rebellion, that's just weakening it. At a monumental cost to the shaper empire.
  11. Nim
    Please don't use Sage Taygen as a pro-shaper example for anything. He is just utterly nuts and so is his "plan". Destroying the economic foundation of shaper society so that he can kill a few rebels is just

    OH GOD WHY Putting points there (apart from 2 INT) is just not worth it. Make a clean save, absorb that cryoa and make 2 or 3 cryoas with just 2 points in INT. You should immediately see a difference in combat. No mech and leadership means you miss out on quite a bit, usually not advised to start without, not even as a shaper.
  13. Nim
    No "Repair Moseh" quest ? Haven't talked to Alwan yet ? You really really want this, just for the easier passage in the barrier zone alone. And lvl 10 at that point with no mech or leadership and only ONE cryoa ? Did you upgrade that cryoa ? Never ever put anything into creation stats apart from 2 points INT. Just go with numbers and better creations once available.

    Nobody cares when you wipe out Derenton and Poryphra ( well as long as you have the mission to go on). Same with the camps in the fens and the rebel safehouse. Or the shaper camp in the first chapter. So just go nuts
  15. Nim
    Koerner does. Poryphra Ruins.Wiping out Derenton Freehold isn't hard, just a loooong slog.
  16. Nim
    Kinda curious now. Could you post that text ? If it isn't too much trouble.
  17. Nim
    Correct me if I'm wrong but this cannot actually be done ingame. Iirc if you don't go meet Zak the first door in the Secret Tunnel is closed. And I think you can't leave for the council unless you have met them both ?
  18. Nim
    Does the door to the Geneforge even open that way ?
  19. Nim
    So you like innocent serviles dying in minefields and to spawned rogues
  20. Nim
    Cannon =/= Canon. And for obvious reasons the canon ending can't really be too good or decisive. Learned Dayna is in Medab, not sure about anyone else.
  21. Nim
    Why would you feel bad for the Obeyers ? They can get a great ending
  22. Nim
    Yes. Nope. I didn't talk to anyone in the safehouse at all and as you can see from the screenshot above the rebels in the fens are friendly. It's fun tho
  23. Nim
    I expect most people to stay somewhere in the middle at least in the beginning so this situation probably doesn't happen that often. Trying to follow Crowleys advice of being a good double agent and all. And I'm pretty sure that the shaper side works as intended, if you don't help them enough they will cut you off. At least that's what I remember from that single time I played pro-rebel. You lose out on a lot if you try to play pure rebel compared to pure loyalist.
  24. Nim
    Just made a quick run for the fens, destroyed the caravan, restored Moseh and gave the papers to the shapers. Opinion solidly pro shaper, got all rewards from Agent Mouawad. Greta dialogue
  25. Nim
    I saw that too. But I seriously doubt that I could have been anywhere close on the opinion scale. I really screwed the rebels over every single opportunity. And yet they let me into Burwood.
