Are we going to have a poll about if our poll should have different polling options so we can have less polls so our polls don't get old?



Now say that as fast as you can.

I'm Half-Chinese and half German. Or Russian. We don't actually know anymore. But I'm definately Half Chinese.

How do you guys like this?

An interesting humanoid. I made a drawing of this at school before creating it. I don't care for the feet much, but otherwise I feel like it's great. But that's my opinion.

And I'm thai, chinese, and caucasian. Most of the time when I tell people I'm part thai, they think I come from Taiwan

It is a little bit unreasonable to expect people to destroy 9 creatures and 2 vehicles, with a combined health of 2104, in only a minute, when it takes nearly 45 seconds just to reach them. I rarely ever use the time limits, especially in acts involving fighting or allying with creatures, as such things take unpredictable amounts of time depending on your captain's abilities, and it doesn't seem fair for people to lose just because their captain can't kill as quickly as some might. Some other tips and feedback:

- The creature and vehicle behavior tabs are your friends. Making sure that every creature and vehicle in the adventure has an express set of instructions can make a huge difference in the quality of play. Creatures have an extremely handy advanced behavior panel that can be accessed by control-clicking one of the preset behavior options. While these advanced settings are not available for vehicles, it is still important to ensure that they are not just motoring around aimlessly.

- Dull environments make for dull adventures. One of the greatest things you can do to improve your adventure's appeal is some light terraforming. It literally takes minutes to put in a few mountain ranges and lakes, and to select vegetation for your planet, but these simple steps can help transform a boring environment into an exciting one.

- Use more buildings and other props than you need. It was nice to see that you did have some extra ships in the sea, but they were not at all visible to the captain playing the adventure. The adventure editor has plenty of available complexity, so feel free to add in some extraneous features, like fort walls or bunkers in fighting missions. Check out Sokar's "The Battle of Lekraa" for a good example of this.

- Just a general hint, if you do want to conserve complexity, use disguised gates instead of buildings. Not only do gates take up less complexity, but they are also much more versatile in that vehicles can drive over them. (Don't use gates to make roads, however, as it will just be a headache and there are perfectly good roads in the terraforming section).

The bottom line is, the more time and effort you put in to making your adventures, the more enjoyable they will be for others to play, and the more popular they'll be. If you want to see some excellent examples of these suggestions in use, check out some of the adventures by cbfstudios, CloudyVision, or Remypas, some of my favorite adventure creators. Just some things to consider.

Nice review of sorts, northe.

My last name is german, and the rest of it is such a huge mix I can't even attempt to remember everything, which pretty much just makes me American.

And I just ordered GA. Finally found a new hard copy . I've been wanting to get it for months, but I'm a refuse to download unless absolutely necessary. Edit: You guys make the adventures sound pretty awesome.

There! This is the Spore Keychain I was talking about, like a week ago.

In stunning, low definition, cheap built in webcam quality.


Yeah, this looks really bad, doesn't it...

A gift to my 71 subs:


I had only 50 subs one and a half weeks ago At this rate I'll be at 125 by May.

I hit 275 two weeks ago. In another 12, I'll be at 300.
