Shadowbane, the vision of Original: (no, this isn't a post about the Beta... sorry) First, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm one of the refugees you got when EA.com (may their grandchildren be cursed unto the tenth generation!) suddenly de…

Shadowbane and Battletech? Related? Whoa! There are lots of sources that we are accused of pastiching (to use a polite term), but this is definitely a new one. I'm very familiar with Battletech (what gamer from the 1980's wasn't?), but ala…

Game Viability Original Post: I would like to propose a question to the current fanbase (though a lot of you are new and will flame me). I have been around awhile. Followed the game ( SB ) since late 1997 when I was in grad school and work…

City Building: The Game Q: What I want to know is if walls appear after a certain ammount of time (if so, how long), or if the city has to buy them. If a city has to buy them, I also wonder if they have to place the walls, or if they are a…

Elves: Q & A 1. As far as we know, the order of succession has gone as such: Gilliandor --> First Queen (contested) --> Sillestor --> Giliander the Bold --> Mirallinae --> Valdimanthor. Was Giliander the Bold the only Emperor during the Gw…

Elves: Naming Original Post: I'm curious as to the views of the elven high court. Is there an elvish language that is used here? at least for names and such? I know that the Irekei have a language, but i haven't seen anything regarding elv…

Elves: Gods and Demi-Gods Original: And one more question, unrelated to Rangers. My character and the guild I'm in, House Lok-ri, are Gwaridorn and as such have an affinity for the sea. Are there going to be any sea gods or star gods and i…

Elvish Language Unfortunately, the Elvish I've devised has never really gone beyond naming things - people places, etc. It uses a rather collossally famous suite of Elvish languages as its starting point, though...
