I, er ... found something.I got excited, thinking it was material for a grand tabletop campaign featuring a resurrected Emperor versus the Blood God himself.

Putin is the good guy, he help fights the Nazis on the moon. Of course he wins !He never actually went to the moon, though. Koizumi had to do that.
Dragon game.I'd play it.
Procedurally generated maps,
Play as a dragon. Start young and get bigger as you age. Terrorize villages and steal cattle for quick gain, or work to establish a mutual relationship for longer lasting stability at the added cost of helping the villagers with their problems.
Protect your cave and territory from roaming flocks of quick and precise griffons, slower but deadly poisonous wyverns, other dragons, or even the dreaded Terrasque.
Defend your lair from roaming adventurers, or depending on your reputation roving knights. Steal princesses from castles to do...whatever dragons do with stolen princesses. Collect gold and metal to eat and keep your scales in good condition. Find a mate, and go far afield by yourself to hunt enough food for your entire family, or stay in the cave protecting your young from things harmless to you, but of great danger to your young. Expand your lair for your growing family, or recriut friendly dragons, and potentially other creatures into your own growing cave city.
...I can dream can't I?
That little yellow dot on Praefectus' hood in the sprite makes it look like he's wearing a Prinny or similar penguin creature. Now you can't unsee it.
Bully for themI doubt it. Right now the "Time" topic on the xkcd forums is at 412 pages and shows no signs of slowing. They even seem to have formed their own little group of dedicated trackers that I doubt will lose interest before he stops updating.Good lord, it's still going!One day he'll realize that everyone got fed up with this and left. And on that day he will cry. And I will laugh.
How does everyone think it's gonna end?

Don't ask me, I haven't read it <_<;Does Putin win? Please tell me Putin wins.What kind of aircraft has the designation Air Force 2? AF1 is the President's plane, so AF2 must be the Vice President's?You're questioning the plot of a book where Sarah Palin fights Vladimir Putin on a jumbo jet. Throw logic out the window, it will only slow you down
Why would the Vice President going rogue be a good thing? Or a thing? I only read the title. Reading further runs the risk or permanent brain derpage.
You mean in the early chapters? Yeah, I do that tooIt's actually a little trickier than that, but at the same time more idiotic. The AI tends to prioritize attacking units that are potential one-round kills (thus their determination to kill your healers), and then they go after targets that cannot hit back. This can either lead to a swordsman attacking an archer, or armies of weak units breaking their weapons against an unarmed knight or paladinYou know, I was thinking how difficult this would be until I remembered how dumb FE AI tends to be. Find squishiest character in range, attack squishiest character in range. Sometimes they get fancy by aggroing from further than six tiles away.FFS mentioned something about Flash. Aside from trying to recreate the AI, would it be that much more difficult to make an FEF game from scratch if it means we can include abilities and custom classes and whatever?Probably not, though I haven't touched flash in- ever. And a simple AI wouldn't be too hard to make, not for a turn based strategy game anyway.
Leading to my inclination to always take all my paladin's gear and use him as a mook-magnet for my lord.
