Re: Do we need another forum?

I don’t know if this can be done without Moderator intervention with the current software, but what would be nice in my view is if MP game threads were moved into a separate forum once the game was...

Re: Are devils worth 7 blood each?

I don’t think Soul Contracts are all that great if you have easy access to the summing spell as well.

If you assume that devils are what you need, Soul Contract is only desirable if you either...

Re: Are devils worth 7 blood each?

Soul contracts don’t give gems; they don’t even give blood slaves. They give devils. They are only worth anything at all if devils are what you need. Its also not possible to set up a exponential...

Re: OT: What other games are people playing??

I’ve been playing Orbiter (http://www.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/~martins/orbit/orbit.html) a free (closed source) realistic physics space flight simulator lately.

It is kind of relaxing to not be playing...

Re: AI \"cheating\": Permanent omniscienct Scrying??

The only advantages the AI receives as far as I know are:
More pretender points at high levels.

Re: Dammit

If commanders without troops don’t rout when the army routs, what happens to support mages and priests? Should they stay on the field and wait for the opposing army to come and mop them up?

If you...

Re: Highest regen possible?

A 10 Nature magic Sphinx in 10 friendly dominion casting personal regeneration ought to have a very impressive regeneration rate.

Edit: Personal Regeneration may not work on the Sphinx, as I...

Re: My demonbred

The problem is how to keep the attacker alive. I believe Phoenix Pyre does, or at least did, do generic damage, as opposed to fire damage, so there is no easy way to protect yourself. Can the Arch...

Re: Mumbling about MP security

The methods of cheating discussed in this forum (with the exception of Taqwus) seem to focus on alteration of *data* files of the game in question, in two forms:

Re: score graphs

A variation Ivan’s suggestion of infrequent updates with the current system would be to time shift the graphs so that the “present” time of the graphs is actually N turns ago, where N is settable at...

Re: your favourite 2.12 vq nation

First of all, let me say, I really don’t want to start a flame war about game balance here. Just expand on my own poll response, mainly. I’m not exactly an expert at MP. But my vote would be for the...

Re: OT: Linux

Adding onto what Taqwus said, in case it isn’t clear: Gnome or KDE sits on top of the XFree86 system, which provides the low level interface.

Re: Kinda quirky game idea

Cheezeninja: I guess this is a little off topic..
