Bay 12 Games Forum

I'm (slightly) sad to see that the game is down. I got on rarely, but I would collect from the 10 or so abandoned GS that I had. I dunno how I didn't get banned, seeing as how I let like 5 people mooch my GS and they probably gave the IP out to more people. Last I got on, I still had fully upgraded hardware and mostly upgraded GS hardware, and all the software. I was just waiting for SH2.

You know I do honestly wonder how much faster you type if you use a keyboard actually made for typing faster.

Since QWERTY is made to make your typing slower.

I'd be afraid of typing faster than I do. I already type a good 80 words per minute and I only use my pointer fingers, middle fingers, and my left pinky. It's really scary. I scared the crap out of my keyboarding teacher (and had to convince him to not fail me because he though I was cheating somehow).

Having the keyboard input set on american style QWERTY

While most games guilty of such a crime are based in flash and other online type things, it is incredibly frustrating when it says: "Press z" and pressing the zed on my keyboard does nothing.

This. Even though I'm american, the last 4 years I have been using QWERTZ because of my German class (we did a LOT of typing) and I got used to using it.

Is anyone else finding Pagan Norse completely overpowered? I started off as Dublin in the 867 start, and have moved to being the Empire of Britannia with reformed Norse religious authority at 100, and Catholic religious authority at 4, while holding all of the Isles as well as all of the Norse holy sites, Brittany, 1/2 of the Kingdom of France, and 1/3 of the dejure HRE, as well as Rome... all within 6 generations (including the 2 that were assassinated within 2 years of taking the throne). I took over Ireland and did not expand past Ireland for about the first 100 years, but now that I started, it's not even at the old start date yet, and the only way I can be beat is if a bunch of people ally together or the Byzantine Empire comes knocking at my door.

EDIT: I think probably the easiest way to fix the OP Norse would be having a forced split of at least 3, so even if you only have 1 son, it still splits into 3 pieces with only 1 going to your son and the others going to relatives/random people. It would cause a scramble to get back your lands, and it would be impossible to bloat much past a kingdom or two.

I actually am downloading this now... but I have no clue what to set my settings at. I have found almost nothing about the system requirements for this game.

We could just level with him and be completely truthful, that we are from another universe where all of this is a game, and we don't know how we were sucked into this. Furthermore we know that we are not playing the main character in the game, which means someone else IS playing the main character, and we know what the main character is (most likely) going to do and who they may be. Drop a few hints about his possible upcoming death, and mention that he will end of vanishing in any case even if he doesn't die, which will cause Baar Dau to fall and cause mass destruction in Morrowind, harming the people living in Morrowind. Then ask him for help. If he agrees, let him know what *should* happen in the game. If he doesn't agree, go find the PC and try to help them out... and kill Vivec with their help, just because he failed to help you, y'know.

I was under the impression one was simply made female by the system, not had ones gender swapped. So males became female, but females remained female.

Maybe I am just sitting here with that impression because most of the time someone gets cloned and the change is noticed, they used to be dudes...

Nope, you just become opposite gender... however making males become female and females remain female might be hilarious fun if added.
