    I willl give you a glaahk but even a normal Drakon is quite likely to tear your face.
    Also i believe that at some point the game mentions that Ur-Drakons are modified Drakons and hence again while you might be right in case of a Glaahk the theory doesn't hold for Drakons.

(other than because of the mathematics (diffusion is a a natural solution while convection is a forced solution (if I'm not wrong ) ) )

    Here's what I have been able to understand:-
    Diffusion is considered a distinct phenomena because the physical reasoning is different sufficiently from both conduction and convection.
    Diffusion basically happens due to random movement of particles, now these particles can either move from a place where there are too many of them to the place where there are too few of them , or they can collide with some of the stationary (i.e lesser energy particles on the other side) and give pretty much the same result.
    Now the first situation is obviously different from convection being natural and not forced however the procedure is the same and the laws governing it will be either similar or same to that of convection( Both involving movement of higher energy particles from one place to another).
    In the second case the laws will resemble conduction , however over here it is the transfer of movement (i.e velocity) from one particle to another which results in flow of heat whereas in conduction it is the vibration of immediate particles resulting in vibration of next particles and so on.
    To sum up the two procedures involved in diffusion are mathematically equivalent to conduction and convection , But physically they are totally different and hence it is only reasonable to call diffusion a seperate phenomena altogether.
  3. The problem of course was that I had planned to invest only in leadership and mechanics intially, Do the presence and Astoria's assasin quest and straight away get a war trall. Anyway I managed by investing a bit in intelligence and battle shaping and creating 6 thahds whot took the blows as I escaped. Got the war trall quickly and the game has just become a breeze even on Torment. It's mostly like:-

    War Trall: You wanna say something?? Gurrrr..

    clawbug/Vlish/Roamer: Uhhh...

    War trall: Die!!

    Well the only thing i wanted to say was that when i did them with a high level party the inside ones were easy.But yes you are probably right for a low level party.
  5. The guy has about 115 essence so i think he will get about 4 creatures. With the lightning the unbound will kill 1-2 every round.With acid he will probably kill all by 3-5 rounds but till then they have more chance to live and attack compared to lightning. I guess it's pretty much useless arguing abut this because I am 99.99% sure you can't kill the unbound so quickly/so early. They are called "the unbound ones" for a reason.

    That's true but it should be easier to cure acid since you do have a few curing spores, lightning can be really bad for a low level character.

    Well as far as i have seen jeff has been geneforgising(if that's a word) his games more and more. A6 was pretty much aveforge without the replay value. So he could assume any story he wants for A3, and maybe give us a option to help either avernum or empire.

  8. Jeff has made it pretty clear that he is gonna stick with the same story for the remake of first triology,Now i am not sure about A1, but i think that if he wanted to do something innovative about A2 he could make the game with empire's point of view, we could actually play as adventurers who stole the crystal souls and we could turn the tables on avernum and vahnahti. seems pretty cool to me what are your views?

  9. I don't know how you will accomodate that in the story though.

    It's hard to say that one set of adventurers having 29 bars of iron and 17 cakes is better than the ones with 5 bars and 8 cakes.

    I Killed him, it took seventeen reloads though, The trick is to limit the amount of damage you do before the turn in which he drinks healing elixir comes, If you haven't done enough damage by then, then he won't drink the elixir at all.After that it's just hack and slash.

    (Also you don't run out of restricted places, you run out of the ones not restricted.)

    as in "i'm not afraid of falling off a tree, i'm afraid of landing afterwards"

    Nope,, as in "i will fall from ground and land on a tree"
