Re: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.3, mission 4 is here.
Nice work Christina! I was hoping to capture some of the feel from mission 1, but also try to still give it its own unique place among the missions. It feels kind of like a mix between missions 1 and 3 in my opinion. I haven't tried beating it on normal yet. I just beat Mission Four on easy mode. It was a lot of fun! Thanks!

Re: [Audyssey] castaways suggestion for disposing of useless people
Hmmm, I think that would detract from the strategic decision about how much to specialize your work force, since the only downside to doing so other than the cost is the loss in flexibility.

[Audyssey] Alter Aeon Cleric Update
The 2011 Alter Aeon Cleric Update is now live! This update contains a lot of changes to improve traditional cleric spells, add a new mode of casting for mages, and clean up other spells and skills that have traditionally not been as awesome as they could be. Here's a list of the most major changes: - Mages now have the ability to 'channelcast' (ccast) certain elemental spells in combat. Channelcasting takes longer than regular casting, but is interruptible and costs substantially less mana. This feature allows mages to become a true 'blaster' class without compromising healing mana. The channel casting skills are 'fire focusing', 'ice focusing', 'lightning focusing' and 'crystal focusin'. The fire plane is easiest to reach, and hence it's the lowest level and easiest to channel. The crystal plane is much harder to reach and only high level mages will be able to channel from it. - Added a necromancer spell 'bone dragon', which allows you to fly around over the landscape. - Ice imprison and crystal prison have been updated. - Ward good and ward evil are now more powerful. - The charm spell has been updated to make it easier to land and to use control points similar to controlled necromancer minions. - The peace spell has been improved. - A level 19 curse, 'overconfidence', has been added. - A level 19 spell, 'hold undead', has been added. - A level 28 spell, 'sacred touch', has been added. - A level 29 spell, 'solace', has been added. As always, you can use the 'spell find' commands to find the teachers or trainers for new spells and skills. For those of you who don't know anything about us, Alter Aeon is a multiplayer text-based game with a lot of features and settings to help make it blind-friendly. Over half our playerbase is blind or visually impaired, and we have blind builders and staff helping to expand and improve the game. Everyone is welcome to play, so if you're new to the game feel free to stop by and check us out.

[Audyssey] suggestion for changing the way doctors heal people in castaways
Hi list. I am still playing castaways mission 4, and I think from playing it quite a bit a change really needs to be made to the way doctors heal people. at the moment, they heal people in the order they become ill, now OK, that's fine when you don't have plague to deal with. however, once plague gets hold of your population healing in the order people get ill makes no sense at all. as if this was a real life situation, doctors would be wanting all the help they could get, so surely would concentrate on medical personell first in order they can help them out later with the rest of the population. as it stands, once plague takes hold of your population no matter how many doctors you create and upgrade, you are basically screwed because they get the plague soon after, and although they may heal the odd person chances are your doctors are berried right at the back of the queue. so of course you create more doctors til you run out of useable peasants. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: mission 4 and raids.
Mission 4 doesn't have any use for the raid tent. If you're on multiplayer you can build the war tent, but it would only be useful for reinforcing other players. You'll need a general for that.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: mission 4: invaders not moving.
If there is no way to get to your buildings, due to walls or even too many zombies crowding the land, then they will patiently wait until there is. In mission 4 there isn't any centralized enemy to raid, so the war tent is only useful for reinforcing. Ok, yes, zombies are slow, but I've had two zombie soldiers at F1 for many turns now and they haven't moved. Also, I can't raid with or without a general.

Re: [Audyssey] Alter Aeon Cleric Update
As a primary clerric warrior with a good pinch of necro on the side, I've been looking forward to this update, though methinks perhaps I need to actually think about training charisma now ;D. Btw, as regards alteraeon generally, I've made a substantial rewrite to it's entry page on audiogames.net, so as to provide a much more complete intro to the game, as well as give full details of oriol Gomez's great Mushclient pack, which virtually turns Alteraeon into a full audio rpg and is deffinately recommended for any vi player, not to mention anyone who really wants amazing support for background music and sounds as well as lots of custom triggers and alias's. this should hopefully provide anyone not familiar with the game with a good introduction and overview.

Re: [Audyssey] Support Dark's gamebook
wow Jeremy, I didn't expect such a vote of confidence ;D. While this is appreciated, I will point out that if the competition is similar to previous years, there are likely to be some pretty awsome books csubmitted. Dungeons was intended as a bit of fun, and certainly if people enjoy the book they should vote for it, but I'd ask people to please check out the other submitted entries and have a serious think about things, sinse I'd prefer to have my work thought about and taken on it's own merrits (if any), than win simply because I have the advantage of belonging to a mailing list full of people who will vote for the entry by a blind person irrispective of how good or bad my writing is. Afterall, in the arena of writing gamebooks, jeremy's darkgrue program has removed so much effort, a visually impared participant is absolutely equal to anyone else, and thus should be judged as such. So yes, please vote for dungeons, but only if you happen to think it's worth voting for. Beware the grue!
