Pet peeve. Sure wish you guys who are posting new games would post the link 
in your messages instead of giving us the low-down on how great it is and 
what you have done to it to make it better. Or at the very least in the 
subject say new game for download

Subject: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.0 and officially out of beta. NewWar 
tent and online features.


 Castaways is now officially out of beta!

 I have just posted version 2.0 which is the first version to be missing 
 the little b at the end.  It's about time I finally removed that thing!

 We are marching ever closer to the arrival of Territory wars, but alas it 
 is not ready quite yet.  I have fixed several little glitches and made the 
 server link more stable with this version.  In addition to those little 
 things most people never even notice, I have completely recoded the War 
 Tent.  I think you'll be quite happy with it.

 In the past, if you wanted to send out a raid you were forced to send all 
 of your troops up to the 5 troop limit per type.  Granted, usually that's 
 what you want to do because they fight much better in larger numbers, but 
 finally you have a choice.  Pressing backspace on the War tent now opens 
 up a menu allowing you to choose how many of each soldier type will be 
 included in the raid.

 Here is where things get really interesting though.  While playing 
 multiplayer co-op, you can now use the War Tent to help your friends who 
 are in trouble.  Using a merchant and a Merchant cart, people are already 
 able to send supplies to their friends in need.  In the same way, you can 
 now use a general and the War Tent to send troops to reinforce them as 
 well.  Having a War Tent unlocks the ability to make a general, in 
 multiplayer only, and he will serve the same function as a merchant does 
 with a merchant cart.  Troops that you send to reinforce a friend will no 
 longer be yours, so don't expect them to come back.

 The addition of this new War Tent will allow for some incredible co-op 
 games.  Imagine playing mission 3 on the hardest mode with a group of 
 friends, helping each other out with supplies and soldiers as things get 
 really tough.  Perhaps one of your friends would put all of his attention 
 in to manufacturing the cloth and leather for the rest of the team, 
 freeing them up to worry about food and troops.  The level of cooperation 
 is nearly limitless, and I fully expect this to lead to some great online 
 experiences.

2011-08-29 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi, and thanks for posting the link. Up until today I wan't interested 
in the game because I didn't have time to give it a try. So I was 
feeling kind of lazy and didn't want to search the archives because 
there is a lot of discussion about this game on the list. Perhaps as a 
friendly suggestion, each update you post should have the link. It might 
seem repetitive to you, but for those who are taking an initial interest 
it really helps. An example is earlier I posted about how I have game 
recordings. Many of the list members who knew this already know the 
address, but in case we have new list members reading, they might want 
the address. So even though I know the address and long time list 
subscribers know it, there was no harm in me putting it in my email. So, 
after this long-winded message, thanks. *smile*.
