Yay! Thanks. Christina - Original Message - From: "Jeremy Kaldobsky" To: "audyssey" Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 4:39 PM 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. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.0 and officially out of beta. NewWar tent and online features.
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*. -- Raul A.

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" Fred Olver - Original Message - From: "Jeremy Kaldobsky" To: "audyssey" Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 3:39 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.0 and officially out of beta.
