Hit them a lot, and try to do as much damage as possible with each hit. Ideally, give the Black Halberd to you best fighter, bless and haste him a lot, and then have everyone else stand back out of the way and heal him frantically. The only doomguard you need to kill is in the entrance to Blackcrag, and you just need to kill one copy. So just hit the same copy over and over again and it will die in about five or six hits. The doomguard in the concealed tunnel you should just run away from, or enclose it in force barriers if you have that spell.

I like the infiltrator and servile the best, basically because I like to play solo and think of myself as one man (or woman) against the world. Having to sneak around and pick off enemies one by one isn't tedious, it's fun. Sneaking and stealthing are by far the most fun components of Geneforge.

Didn't we decide that luck had basically no effect on the game? 10 levels of luck are skill points that could be better appropriated.

Doing okay ... don't really have much time to give it anymore, though.

Oh no! A Geneforge Doomguard would be terrifying.

Well, it explains a lot that you haven't played GF4. It explains a lot about the rebellion, and you get the impression that humans, serviles, and even drayks will be worse off with the Drakons than with the Shapers. Tullegolar's most recent post is basically how I feel as well.

Dyslexia is no excuse for that.

They're in the file Geneforge 4 Graphics in the folder Geneforge 4 Files.

Caves drip - you can even hear the sound in-game.

I wouldn't call it a factual observation either.

I know that transfering files from a computer to another caused me problems . This is completely untrue and nonsensical.

Older Mac to Intel Mac works.

I complained heavily about the lack of mass haste and other mass boosting spells in Avernum 4 during the beta period. And disabling spells too. There are too many damage and summoning spells.

I think that it's important to differentiate humans and creations under Shaper rule. Humans are self-governing, with an elite class of Shapers (who are human). There are human mayors in every town, they're the main merchants, etc. Then there are the creations. Originally, only serviles were the sentient creations. Their situation was basically equivalent to slavery in the US. Somehow renegade Shapers began shaping Drayks, who began shaping Drakons, who began shaping Gazers and Eyebeasts. Really, they don't want to be a part of Shaper society. Most sane drayks just want to be able to live in peace apart from the Shapers. So really, the only creations we're dealing with are serviles, who want to be accepted by Shapers and treated the same as humans.

Exile/Avernum 3 seems closest to what you're looking for. Blades of Exile has scenarios that more closely answer yes to the questions you've asked.

That will eventually reach a breaking point, though. There's a portion of the population that figures if they might die for nothing as part of a reprisal, they might as well die for something and form/join a resistance. There's actually a movie coming out in a while about this in apartheid South Africa.

Ahem. Let's drift somewhat back towards the topic at hand and not an argument about who will kick whose ass.

Drayks were Barred for a reason - they were too smart and could reproduce. Also, look at all of the Drayks in GF 2-4 ... I don't think that all were Shaped. Clawbugs probably can - look at the huge amounts of clawbugs and clawbug dens with clawbug queens.

Well, resistance is in my blood and my history, and I know that from my group of friends, I'd be one of the most likely to resist. I'd imagine Zeviz is the same way, but I don't know about anyone else.

Drayks can reproduce. I'm pretty sure that Clawbugs can too.

I'd also go for 3.5 ... think Warsaw Ghetto uprising but on a larger scale.
