Mosquito---Slayer

It will probably be more enjoyable if you played all geneforge games at one go and then continued on to the second avernum trilogy, A4 doesn't feel much older than G5, just my opinion though.

Those are ultimate powers?, God, you really do learn something every day...

Not Nethergate? you just really disappointed Tyran. he is going to warn you..............

There isn't any race effect in A:eftp and apart from the quick learner(or whatever it was called and it's upgrade) traits have no effect either, so In all probability it's just a random effect, if you distribute your wisdom crystals equally your fighters should eventually lag the spell casters a little due to being killed bit more often.

It will be too weak to really help you if you recruit it that late.

It shouldn't more valuable then the waveblade purely on the basis of stats, but blessed items are generally given a higher price even if they aren't actually that good. Welcome to spiderweb software,please leave your sanity at the door,the valuation of items would have certainly helped in this regard.

found this through a friend: Here (just to make it clear, I'm not taking any sides, only asking what people think of it.)

Chitrach(s) shouldn't be that tough to spell if you have played all the Avernums.

Some of the nearest ones as I remember were in the Silvar sewers and Goblin/Nephil cave, you can also steal from the guy selling farming supplies in fort Duvno, and If you don't want to steal there were some in Nephil fort as well.

I'm not complaining, just stating sort of a fact. (Also you do realize you just gave the pony people an invitation to hijack the thread )

So..., after 2-3 more threads have been sacrificed on the altar of this great invention.

Over here you need permits to have guns and to get a permit you must specify a valid and pressing reason as to why you want to have a gun. (It doesn't actually work because of the huge number of illegal gun manufacturers and corrupt authorities, but personally I think it's a good method if implemented well)

Come on guys, go get a room,(or a chat room or a pub as the case may be) and drink and talk about alcohol until you smash each other's heads by the bottles you emptied, but seriously, fourth topic to turn to booze??

Actually there shouldn't be any problem calling even people dense if I mean it the way I do for trees.

We can't, we can only edit them.

In G4 Shock Troopers also benefit from having the best multipliers for EP and SP and decent multipliers for HP, BTW why do warriors have such a low essence multiplier in G4?, at least theoretically they are supposed to be decent at making creations. (Also maybe someone could change the topic's title , it says "Ttips", I keep trying to pronounce that in my mind and keep getting confused.)

They are certainly very powerful with there extra AP and and the stun attack but personally I prefer a little variety and making creations every zone again and again isn't really for me. (also I like to see all these different graphics following me, that will be the kid in me )

Melting isn't bad either, that provides good liquidity .

It's actually more like pouring dough down your stomach, not that it's any better.

I honestly love playing a shock trooper in G5 though I haven't played one in G4, My strategy generally involves getting a lot of intelligence and maybe a little endurance, I ignore all magic skills apart from the blessing magic. The shock trooper makes a very powerful tank and with the damage the lots of high level creations can do, he doesn't need mental magic at all. In my last party my shock trooper managed to get to level 52, in addition I had (approx. game end) one level 61 shock trall. Two level 53 Rotdhizons. one level 42 Kyshak one (don't remember the level) Gazer. and two freshly made Drakons All this was made possible by pumping intelligence to about level 20(maybe a bit more, with the help of items of course) The party was powerful enough that I had no real trouble with any area apart from the Eyebeast beyond the fort venegance(Rockfall?) and the challenge area that required the gems stones, even In them the trouble resulted from the fact that I didn't want to use disposable creations. The trick as I said is to basically ignore offensive skills for the PC itself, just rely on the creations for that, the character should be simply used for blessing ,healing and Tank purposes. (Also If you really want to min-max. here's the way:- Pump only your Leadership and mechanics at the start, with the help of the few intelligence points you get for free you should be able to clear the presence, then Straight away do Astoria's assassin quest and ignore anything else in the first map, It should be doable with your leadership and mechanics which should both be about 10 each, rush off to Alwan and get his quest to meet Ghaldering, ignoring everything in the path make your way to the lab and get the create War-trall canister, also try to get a few points in battle shaping by then, create the war trall, he will make the most of the first map almost laughably easy, keep investing in intelligence, create another War-trall(or Kyshakk or Wingbolt) when you have enough essence, once you have about ~15 intelligence go slow on it and invest in blessing magic and healing magic instead(be sure to buy the 2 points beforehand) and continue in this vein, It's a good enough design for a reasonably easy playthrough on the torment.)

He probably means that even if you are separated from a particular area by a (presumably) water body, you can still see it, unlike what's happening with the trees. (I will just add the trees look rather dense to me, and since It doesn't really make any difference to the game play, Jeff probably won't care.)

It wasn't really all that amazing in this thread, Triumph posted the picture of a Delicious Fruitcake totally out of the blue to prevent spam.

That will sum up my feelings perfectly!!

I think people will just try to lose . (Just like I did right now)

I guess I quite liked Avernum 5 too, when I was playing it, there was the obvious thrill of exploring previously unknown caverns as well, however one thing that probably goes against it is that it's not as Epic as maybe you would call the other ones. and linearity too, it's very well written(especially the Howling Depths, probably my favorite in all of the second trilogy), but ending it is just not satisfactory as the others.
