DELICIOUS! NOW I CAN FINALLY GET MY DAD TO LIKE WATCHING MY VIDEO GAMES BY ROLLING ALL HIS FAVORITE TANKS INTO ONE BIG ARMY. . .





*cricket*





*ahem*

Well, I guess the only way to make him happier was if specializing in German tanks gave you E-100 and Maus and whatnot.

But I digress-now I'm sure I'll be getting around to this game eventually. But until then, time for more questions.

To what extent can you. . . use terrain? Can you setup death boxes? Deploy troops into forests and let the enemy go right by while you spring the trap after they've left? Simply put, can my love of military strategy actually be USED or do I have to play by hp bars, hard counters, and command & conquer resources and "logistics"?

Is there anything similar to spectator mode, so I can watch the battle up close without worrying about commanding my units?

In addition to online with other people, can you play a local game with just yourself and the COM(s)? I'd rather not have to play with people all the time. . .

Will discontinued and experimental equipment be available? For instance, the Comanche Assault Helicopter or those crazy gun prototypes that Red Jacket keeps trying to make for the army?

Do destroyed units stay on the battlefield? I.E. Will destroying the leading vehicle in an armored column while they're in the middle of a city force the remaining vehicles to either go around or blast their way through buildings?

And as a personal preference note, are there any infantry units armed with P90's? Too bad they can't dual wield P90's Goldeney 1997 style!

(I warn you now, there's going to be a lot more where these came from. I'm just in a bit of a hurry to be able to post them all. . .)

Arrow to the knee! IMPOSSIBLE!

I don't suppose anyone is interested in a vendor trash mod? 

Don't worry, I don't mean it exactly like that. . .

Perhaps you could explain what you do mean? So we can tell you if we're interested?

"Vendor Trash" was simply a joke term. To clarify, I was intending to add multiple drops, both common and rare, to various enemies.

For example, let's take what I had in mind for a Mother Slime

Old Drops: 1-2 gel (like 95% of the other slimes)

New Drops: 1-3 gel (always drops), 5% chance of sticky glowstic, 2% chance of mine slime ("consumable" which spawns a friendly slime), Mother Slime Pheremones (rarest drop, activates a buff which spawns several friendly slimes. Cooldown instead of consumable.)

Yes, to be quite frank, this example is just some thoughts I'm blurting out in the middle of midnight without checking over them, really. . . The idea isn't necessarily to make it such that the player can get by with just killing stuff, but at the same time I feel like a few coins isn't really worth all that trouble of standing there in the middle of nowhere holding A just because I had to walk into the jungle right as a blood moon started.

^Wait, what version is that? I don't seem to have any skill points-I thought they were still unimplemented. And I certainly wasn't encountering red skeletons right outside Vernis when I was level 1! Plus I haven't done a single quest, so it can't be my fame. . .

. . .

I guess I'm the only one who breeds putits for more than just food.

But yeah, my companions are generally a mix of people and putits, depending on the circumstances.

Also, to whoever is playing in wine, it appears you're in japanese-language mode. Elona may not be reading the config file, you should have had the chance to specify japanese or english at the start of the game.

Go into the config file and set language to the correct value-the comments on the right should specify what that value is.

Would anyone know of any up to date mods left?

Just sprites, music, and custom NPCs I think.

How. . . disappointing. So no racial feats for debug races.

Also, is that Nyarko-San in your Avatar? How did I not notice?!

Yeah; looks like he did a Vernis to Noyel run, so that would give quite a bit. Though I suspect it also had high potential/low skills in those areas.

Oh? I've done something about that length and got 2 skill ups. . . =/
