Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

Gotta say, even with as little as there is, I'm shocked by the  trend the poll is showing.

Why would you be? Spearbreakers has ALWAYS defended itself the same way its ancestors have since the beginning of time! With a wall made of bravery, beards, steel and half-trained conscripts! We need not cower behind walls or fancy omnicrossbows! WE! ARE! SPEARBREAKERS!

Indeed! If the Spearbreakers aren't breaking any spears, they're doing something wrong.

Having squads with more modern weapons while most of the army uses traditional gear.

  What are the statistics for Railguns? Are they better then Polearms in combat situations?

 (Look who's alive! Nice to see McClellan, Talvi, Mr Frog, Reudh and Splint, there to lead the fresh blood on the next epic... )

[Splint]

Railguns were intended to be powerful enough (and used behind defences,) that melee would be irrelevant, since one hit would knock down even megaspawn.

[TalonisWolf]

  No plan survives enemy contact, and knowing Murphies Law... well, it would be just our luck to find out Spawn can dodge Railgun Fire.

I liked this fort but I couldn't read it anymore because the science fiction subplots with confusing twists and annoying romance were beginning to outnumber actual talk about the fortress. Don't do this with Spearbreakers II, got it?

First, don't get all demanding. That was something that spiraled out of control and needs wrapping up eventually. That probably won't get done until SBII is halfway finished for all I know. It just... Y'know, snowballed.

Second, It hopefully won't end up quite so convoluted the second time around, though at present there's plenty of stuff to want to do or have made (at the very least the Spawn varieties and some balancing to go with them, some other caste stuff, and some expendable noble positions so we can arrange accidents without political worry while our main noble has no heirs.) Kinda relying on Mr Frog for the Spawn stuff, while I can take care of dwarf stuff myself.

... Errrr, so you're telling them to stop doing the very thing which has made Spearbreakers the epic it is? That's like telling Rolls-Royce to stop selling Hot Rods and start selling family cars because they're* more practical- it's not what it's about. If you don't like the product, don't buy the 'car'. There are hundreds more out there.

*they're? there're?

"they're" is correct. Contraction of "they are".

I found the sci-fi subplots very confusing at best. I wouldn't leave them out, though. It's still fun to read them even if I have no idea what's going on.

They are fun indeed, but often so different and distant from the main plot that sooner or later you reach the point you can't follow everything that's going on even if you try.

'kay then. Multiple large posts are likely to be incoming - I'm going to wrap up the Vanya plot entirely, and though I do intend to finish her series at some point, I'll keep that out of the Spearbreakers thread.


Also, my apologies for the quality of my writing. I know I'm not particularly incredible, but I tried my best. You never really "had" to read my stuff anyway - it was really all fanfiction. Noted, though: my twists and romance suck. It isn't the first time I've been told that.

Spearbreakers II will turn out exactly the way it happens to turn out, cupcake. That's the nature of a community RP. I personally didn't want a deluge of special-snowflake OCs but they happened anyway.

Please do post them (or at least a link) in here; they're part of Spearbreakers and have been for a while and it'd be remiss if the conclusion wasn't posted where the stories began.

I rather liked your writing personally, although I didn't get all the way through Vanya's story. Or Spearbreakers, for that matter. Weird sci-fi subplots are cool, although I think a certain lack of coordination detracted from the overall effect somewhat. Forts where everybody participates and writes journals and does stuff are the best forts.
