Re: Fall of Faility

I'll offer a few words: This project lost momentum, but it never had a great deal to begin with. Making a map is hard and takes awhile. It requires sustained effort. What was had were occasional bursts of enthusiasm ... it never quite got past the lots-of-ideas stage. Furthermore, I'm not sure Troll...

Re: AotZ < DoE (apparently)

The trick is that you've become accustomed to these things, and as such they seem perfect to you. Until I show you exactly the improvements, you will never quite understand that they are an improvement at all! In this regard you'll just have to trust my understanding of map design, but if you can m...

Re: AotZ < DoE (apparently)

That line hit me the most. Dude, the whole reason these forums exist is so that people can communicate easily, quickly, and efficiently their own ideas to me about my work. Don't be afraid to make new topics here with ideas or whatever, we'll discuss them and if I like them I will tell you -- And i...

Re: AotZ < DoE (apparently)

I found AotZ in the fall of '06, and it grabbed me in a way no game ever had before. Then and now, AotZ had something that no other map could quite match. I was drawn to the scale of it, the feeling of epicness. It wasn't just that there was a rich story in the background; it really felt like the ga...

Re: AIDS and Those Countries and the People

As fascinating and enlightening as Diamond's commentary is, one must be careful not to accept it as the end-all, be-all explanation of the socioeconomic world today. There are other well-defended points of view out there, ya know. At any rate I think it's silly to adopt an attitude of demographic de...

Re: Hero Contest Discussion

Bahh, and it's now that I think of all the great things I could have done to make it better. Two things, really. Well, I suppose I'll have to fall back on Phillip Pullman: "[A book's plot is finished] just after it's published, at the point when it's too late to fix all the problems." Damn problems ...

Re: Workers

First of all, it's two workers per player. That's somewhere between eight and twelve workers max, which are plenty useful. A bit of communication and they can do quite well at fixing all sorts of structures. Second, they're good for keeping towers at full if they're dropping a few hit points with ev...

I find it only fitting that other no-talent artists would jump on the Eragon bandwagon to make a penny or two.

Re: Eragon

Eragon represents a perceived injustice within the literary system for many writers aspirant, including, it seems, Irish and possibly Bush. Why? To put it nicely, Mr Paolini sucks. He's not a good writer. This isn't opinion ... he doesn't practice good rules of writing, or deviate from them in a goa...
