What I meant was that the Sword of Truth series eventually becomes simply a manifesto of American Conservatism. Every "Good" character pretty much loses their identity and they all spend five pages at a time complaining about how ever deciding to help a poor person enslaves them, It gets really really really annoying. Mr. Goodkind destroyed what WAS an engaging story in order to push an ideology. His characters all became the same as well, they started out unique and i

[quote who="LDiCesare" reply="40" id="2444487"] Here's one: Once upon a time, there were neanderthals. Then came a better suited race of men, homo sapiens sapiens, and they completely wiped out the neanderthals. Sorry if it's not a story, it's just reality.

[quote who="onomastikon" reply="175" id="2434741"]quoting post That doesn’t mean that the battle system won’t be heavily modified to be richer than we currently have it but it does mean that we will not have cutting versus slashing damage. OK -- but then you WILL need to have something to allow for unit countering. CivIV, Dom3, WCIII, SC, AoW, etc. -- all have unit types to which they adhere (e.g. CivIV "knight" and "tank") and unit families (e.g. "mel

Good post, but isn't the word "Hellenic"?

Reply to Problems with Training/Experience equaling lots of life in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'm saying neither. with only a 10% difference in HP from the lowest level guys to the highest you make it quite likely that the stronger unit is killed by the weaker. All to satisfy some goofy scenario you've cooked up.

As far as random techs go it could be as simple as "Shuffling tech cards" and drawing a certain number of them before the game. They can be listed in tiers and you get so many of each tier. it's not rocket surgery.

Pity that they removed *far* too much of the difficulty, though, even boss encounters are about as hard as your average random encounter in FF:T, and random encounters are just pathetic.

Reply to A Battle system: Archer vs Dragon in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="13" id="2424706"]I think some of you may be over-thinking the battle mechanics necessary to effect a satisfactory outcome. Let's take a dragon who has say a 20 attack and 10 defense. Its minimum defensive roll is going to be 10% so it will always get a 1. Now, if you have a really basic archer its attack and defense might be 1 attack (bow and arrow) with just a shirt (0 defense) with 1 HP. His arrow won'

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="102" id="2423382"] ... No, it really doesn't. For one, fire resistance isn't going to save you if somebody shoots you with a blast of ice, or lightning (under the assumption that lightning is air magic, but that can be neither here nor there). So sure, you go ahead and give all your units fire resistance. I'll sit over here and focus on my air and water magic, then laugh at you when your fire resistances accomplish nothing.
