Gath, dev diary or something

> P.S. Any plans for the Grigori, perhaps as a national summon? Samyaza as a national hero, or perhaps a national pretender? They could play a role similar to the departed celestials of Kailasa - beings whose glory days predated even the EA, but might just come back if you know how to call them...

They will be included as summons. I intend to make them uniques, since there are references regarding what science they taught. Semyaza was the teacher of enchantments and herblore IIRC. THere is some overlapping in what they taught, so I think I'll make less than eleven of them.

> Any idea for release date?

No idea. I think it need more beta than normally, since the 3.15 seems stable and there might be balancing issues with the new nations. Also there is not much other stuff done atm. The soul shattering mechanic must be fixed, and there will probably be new issues I want JK to take a look at. And I have all the summons to do.

OK, now I'll test the Ich suggestion. This is a LA Gibbor, a surviving Rephaim of earier ages. Stats might be redone, but you get the picture.

Hah! It worked.

Can you command respect? Some kind of new summon?

And I think there should be also coma before 'enchanted' in last sentence. And I do not see bronze cap on his head either

P.S. There is still mistype when you wish for armageddon, you get 'the biggest earthquake every seen'.

"Command respect" is perfectly normal English, it is a widely used expression. There is no need for the comma either, Zeldor.

The wish events and other spell events were never typo-fixed because they are in different files than the descriptions.

Are you English as a second language Zeldor? Not saying that to be insulting, but to "command respect" is used so often in America it's a cliche. I'm also pretty sure adding a comma before enchanted would be a splice (so don't do it).

Zeldor · #7 March 21st, 2008, 05:43 AM

Hehe, yeah. In most parts of the world they teach Oxford English, which is a bit different

Gregstrom · #8 March 21st, 2008, 06:13 AM

British English doesn't need the comma either, and is quite happy with commanding respect for that matter.

Excellent work Kristoffer, I really like the guy with the curved horn, I hope his stats make him worth recruiting!

This thread does remind me of Endoperez's thread before Dom3, of course I was a complete newbie then, so easily fooled/impressed.

Don't forget the map that will never be (but will really, eventually, hopefully...)
