Lore Discussion

This is where all random discussion about DoE goes. If it doesn't feel like it fits anywhere else but is still related to the map, this is the place to post it.

Can he see through Glasse's Refraction (mass AoE hide) or does he just he more.

Also if Kao's Ramblings are considered canon why does Greyl refer to Arro as an abomination?

How much can Dahaka alter the timeline? Couldn't he just time shift any creature to a period in which they didn't exist effectively annihilating them.

No. He can't see through it, but he, like many others of power, can partially feel through it.

They are not canon. Anyways, use your imagination. :)

Yeah, he could, but he wouldn't drastically alter the timeline one way or another. He is a pure elemental, he supports the balance. It keeps his actions in check.

I mention you saying that Bane could and most likely will win the war in AotZ. However if they (or any other side ) wins the war please do make it a Pyrrhic victory. I think that would be the best way to achieve catharsis.

It would have to be. There is no other way to have an epic war. :)

Is there any reason specifically that the battle takes place in a desert? I mean, you could have placed it in a jungle, a marine setting, or something else, but why did you place it in a desert? Not critiscizing, just curious.

Aside from the DoE and AotZ, were there any other huge battles that took place?

Several during the first war and others of note between DoE and AotZ.

Which battle in Anti-Void is the most epic in your opinion Dusk.

The one I first made a map after. I would have hoped that would be obvious! :p

What is the universe called as a whole, the Void and Antivoid and Dahaka's little time bubbles, everything together?

I'd like to see a third episode in a swamp or forest type place. Were there any battles worth making another map that happened in such a place? Any other places?

The Kazan Forest had a lot of skirmishes, though honestly there aren't enough characters there to merit a whole AoS. The DoE and AotZ battles were chosen for AoS maps because there are numerous characters together in one place. Could always use the Bane Wars or something as an excuse for gargantuan battles. Play as the Void Dragon, anyone?

I don't know if making a whole other map is worth it, though. What with Aot3 and DoE updates and wanting to invest time in OD and then real life, it's awful tough enough as it stands.
