    Creatures : Too Generic now?

    One thing I've noticed is that as the Creature 'grows' as an 'entity', he seems to adapt from his initial programming/training in a similar way as the BW1 creature.  For example, a creature that has been beaten to -100% (X) for pooping on trees, buildings, his pen, rocks, ore, villagers, will...

    Bizarre Glitch

    Well, thanks for your help, all.  I've not had much of a chance to attempt your proposed fixes, but it was decent of you, nonetheless  :yourock:.  I should have checked to see if I even specified WinXP in my system profile blurb.  And once again, Windows is down.  Oh well, no biggie.  I'm going...

    Creatures vs Soldiers

    It was due to the fact that he was unable to perform duties other than killing and eating that I rid myself of him.  In fact, once every enemy on the island was dead/conquered, he just stood in one spot, doing nothing(apparently, he was 'depressed'), and frequently disregarded the leashes; he...

    Bizarre Glitch

    It's even worse than it was before... after I got home from the library, minutes after starting this thread, I turned my computer back on, and apparently, I was missing "\windows\system32\config\system" ... or perhaps it was simply corrupt.  Having played around with the recovery console, the...

    Creatures vs Soldiers

    Intriguing.  Before I discarded him like the defective abomination that he was, I considered my first Wolf to be an impressive fighting machine.  Melee platoons dropped like flies as he seemingly comboed ground-stomping and Lightning (stun, then immediately follow with lightning)... as he...

    Bizarre Glitch

    After spending hours fooling around trying to get my essential hardware drivers installed (something Windows couldn't do, apparently.  it's also apparently incompatible with the drivers it suggests for my integrated soundboard  :rolleyes), I finally managed to install BW2.  All was going well...

    Your Standard Unit

    Sure, let the little peons stand on their battlements and behind their ramparts and fire their teeny-weeny arrows.  Use a handful of seigecraft to weaken the walls, and send in a horde of bloodlusting berserkers.  Revel in the carnage as they drink blood from their enemies hollowed skulls and...

    The Calm before the Storm

    Heh, being a 'nerd' is a point of pride for me, because it was a choice.  The attitude of North American culture toward professional and school sports seems elevated to the status of hero worship, quite possibly as a means of coping within a society in which without sports and sports-heroes to...

    BW2 - CD only?

    There I was at EBGames, picking up my copy of BW2.  Lo and behold, it was not a single DVD, but four accursed CDs. I ask to those with any insight into such things, why? Why?!  CD/DVD R/RW drives are dirt cheap now, and they release it in CD form.  Frankly, I was troubled.  The fellow at the...

    Got it yet?

    Picked it up at 2pm today.  Installed it as soon as I got home.  It didn't run, of course.  Why?  Windows 98.    :( Don't know how long it'll take to get a copy of XP, and frankly, the anticipation is driving me mad!  Makes me want to hop on the bus, get out at the mall, and buy the first copy...

    its offical creatures can use weapons but not how u expected!!(spoiler)

    Bah,  the hideous, leather-faced Fwank (or was it Fwanky?) in 'Loaded' (PS1), had a teddy attack... he released a barrage of heat-seeking teddies as a special attack...

    The suffering.

    Meh, it's hardly a suffering due to anticipation, but rather, whether or not the game will work straight out of the box, or even if the patch they've supposedly got already will even fix the glitches, if there are any.  Hell, it's all that for me, plus the hassle of getting WinXP, plus the...

    BW2 Specs

    The only thing that bothers me about the BW2 requirements is WinXP... I've been running on Win98 since '98, and have no idea where to get a copy without spending an absurd amount of money on a legal disc/code... Might as well ask around at work, as DL is out of the question, and I'd like to be...

    Your Standard Unit

    I'd have to say, infantry.  I was a hardcore Zerg player in StarCraft, and my most used (and often abused) unit was the Zergling.  With all melee, carapace, and zergling specific upgrades, a horde of 48 Zerglings could strip even the mightiest Protoss bases to their foundation within mere...

    Opinion/;preorder,

    As I understand it, preordering will only ensure you a copy of the game, and only within 48 hours of the release date, as far as Electronics Boutique/EBGames goes.  Depending on how much you put down for your preorder - as low as $5, or as much as the full $68 (CDN),  you may be given slight...

    Creatures and Megablast Extreme...

    Seriously?  I've taught several creatures the miracle, and none of them could successfully cast it.  Maybe it's fixed in the V.2 patch; I've only the V.1 patch included on the CD.  I'll give it a shot with a specially designed miracle-test creature... one whose eventual death due to data...

    Creatures and Megablast Extreme...

    EDIT:  Thought I posted this in the wrong board, but it turns out that this IS the right place to put B&W stuff...  :blush Recently, as a test of the creature's casting ability in relation to its size, I taught an Ape to cast Megablast Extreme.  That is, I showed it the miracle three times...

    Opinion/;preorder,

    I preordered, but they didn't have the code-thingy when I showed up.  They said to just present the receipt when I picked it up on the 12th.  It is unfortunate that the Tiger is dowloaded rather than cd-unique... I may not be able to claim it for several months... which may mean, never at all =\...
