Rotghroth Rhapsody The Reverend Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 My (admittedly hazy) recollection is that you aren't supposed to be able to enter it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody The Reverend Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'd imagine it's mostly empty - I suspect Jeff wouldn't bother to populate a Fort that he didn't intend anybody to enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm pretty sure someone used modding to get inside, and as predicted, there was basically nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Mosquito---Slayer Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah, the area does nothing in A6, it was mainly added because it was their in the previous Avernums and justifying the disappearing of a whole fort would be hard to say the least.

Jeff lost a whole continent in Geneforge so a fort is nothing. It's there because Jeff's using the Avernum 4 map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Prior to Geneforge 5, lore within the Geneforge games indicated that the Shapers ruled two continents. When writing G5, Jeff forget this minor detail. There is little known about this continent other than that it existed and the Shapers ruled it.

Ineffable Wingbolt Mosquito---Slayer Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Humm that's interesting, thanks for informing. But still, while I do not exactly understand what Randomizer means by using the same map, I m inclined to believe that continuity is the main reason for existence of Fort Emerald, after all Jeff raised two new places, Food Dipot and portal keep so it wouldn't have been that hard to erase Emerald had he wanted to, but then he would need to explain where it went and he probably didn't want to do that.

Ineffable Wingbolt Mosquito---Slayer Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 *COUGH*fortganrick of exile II*COUGH* I never played Exile so I have no idea what you are implying, are you saying that:- 1. Fort Emerald was called Fort Ganrick in Exile ll. or 2.A fort called Ganrick disappeared in Exile ll. or 3.You like uttering "Fort Ganrick of exile ll" when you cough.

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Fort Ganrick is a fort in both Exile II and Avernum 2 in which the player begins the game. It existed north of Fort Draco, but was later abandoned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 So it TOTALLY disappeared? An entire fort disappeared after one game when the same bandit fort in the eastern gallery has been there for all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt Mosquito---Slayer Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 That bandit fort has sort of become a folklore of avernum, wanna become a great adventurer, go kill bandits there, Fort Ganrick I think was rather small and unimportant.

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 FG was really small outpost (not really fort) and there wasn't much to do, 1 neph/slith raid and other minor basic quests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall there being rubble north of Fort Draco in later games, but I might be remembering incorrectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah, the area around Fort Draco/Motrax's Lair changes a lot (presumably because of the mining) between games and Fort Ganrick was a very small fort built for the sole purpose of clearing out one dungeon. So it makes sense that it would be abandoned. (Maybe not demolished, perhaps, but the Fort Draco/Motrax's Lair area has bigger terrain/landmark changes to worry about.) Fort Emerald, on the other hand, is a larger fort built to protect the surrounding area from any sort of threat. Plus, it has that famous magical emerald that probably can't be readily moved. Dikiyoba doesn't know why the abandoned fort in the Eastern Gallery hasn't been demolished, since it seems to attract bandits. Perhaps new bandits move in before the demolition crew can arrive. Perhaps it is easier to control bandits when they choose a known, stationary spot to set up camp. Perhaps the country of Avernum always has more presssing matters to deal with.

Ineffable Wingbolt Mosquito---Slayer Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Maybe perhaps the Avernite government actually wants to use the fort for itself, after a bit of minor repair or so, It's a good defensive fort after all, but then bandits always act faster than governments.
