[quote who="Raven X" reply="5" id="2767844"]I only played a few games in the Dark Sun campaign setting back in my P&P (Pen and Paper) D&D days. I thought it was a very unique setting that's for sure. Good luck with this my friend. I'll be very happy to play it when you're done. If there's anything we can do to help please let us know, just keep in mind until it's done we'll be putting the main bulk of our efforts into the Dragonlance Mod. Still, any help or advice we can throw yo

[quote who="Novaburst" reply="7" id="2767928"]I loved the old Dark Sun CRPGs from back in the day. Dark Sun: Shattered Lands Dark Sun: Wake of the Ravager Frustratingly buggy at times, but loved the psionics / magic and the story. [/quote] Those were definitely excellent games. There was also a Dark Sun MMO that was pretty fun, as well. Dark Sun Online: Crimson San

Some notes regarding the factions: While pouring over the DSCS (Dark Sun Campaign Setting), the faction structure started to come into focus quite a bit more. There are currently 7 city-states under the rule of Sorcerer-Kings, and all of these are covered in some detail in the DSCS. What this essentially means is that a lot of the "uniqueness" of these sub-factions are readily available. Many unique units, buildings, political structure, and flavor are all at my fing

From the inquiry thread: [quote who="tamides" reply="16" id="2767821"]Yes, this would be great ! Perhaps this mod would focus on less but big cities, and more outposts for resources linked in with massive caravans [/quote] I won't know what type of control I have over these types of mechanics. Considering that the sub-factions, particularly those of the Sorcerer-Kings, are going to be the major city-states, this would make more sense. However,

Sounds like good stuff though [/quote] Wintersong's mod, while entitled "Dying Sun," does not appear at all to be a Dark Sun mod. Rather, it appears to be his own unique D&D world. I certainly don't want to step on his toes, but everything I read within his post does not reference Dark Sun dir

Reply to [Inquiry] Dark Sun Mod - Interest? in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

It's been a while since I read up on Dark Sun. 15+ years or so. Polishing up a bit on the lore with the new 4E campaign books, I am thinking that the races as factions may not be the best of ideas. Instead, they can be "acquired" through various technologies (i.e. Diplomatic, etc.) and as heroes. It also seems to make more sense to segregate the factions out into Defilers vs. Preservers from the very beginning, offering 5 unique factions of each. For instance

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="2" id="2766949"]I agree, if there is a D&D setting more fitting than Dark Sun for a mod to this game, I can't think of it. [/quote] I couldn't agree more, LX. I'm sitting here, contemplating whether I want to do a Forgotten Realms mod, and then hit hits me. "DUH!" Athas is almost perfect! Then I start brainstorming and some of it just fits in too beautifully, from sorcerer-kings, to elementalist priests, to templars.&nbsp

[Inquiry] Dark Sun Mod - Interest? in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

This is a general inquiry to see if there is any interest in a 4E Dark Sun (Athasian) mod for Elemental. General and initial thoughts behind this: Sorcerer-Kings will replace Sovereigns, and will vie for power amongst themselves. The various classes will be represented as Heroes. Factions will not exist, per se, in the traditional sense. Instead, this will be determined when studying the Magical Tech Tree, when given the opportunity to stu

[quote who="cephalo" reply="108" id="2763543"] I didn't explain it very well, but you can usually get nice mountain ranges with the turbulence controls. To get a feel for how it works, turn the noise weight down to zero so you can only see the turbulence map, and also turn the turbulence roughness to a low number. You should then see a kind of snakey pattern. There are some complex interactions with the noise map, so when you add the noise back in you'll want to be careful so the range p

Did a lot of playing around with this last night and it works quite excellently. A word of caution: 256x256 maps take a very long time in between turns, and I am running Win7 64-bit with 4gb RAM. I am sure that when Stardock releases the 64-bit client, this will be improved upon. 192x192 is very quick, however. One thing that I would like to see is a toggle for mountain ranges vs. sporadic mountains. As it is now, they seem to be very sporadic, and do not cha
