Thanks for the encouraging (re)-reception, everyone.

Late start today - last night I got a really terrible case of food poisoning that set in around 7-8 and didn't let me get any sleep until 4:30AM. Finally able to hold down a bit of food now, so... back to work.  :D

Does that mean we're going to have to worry about spoiled food making our soldiers sick? :P

lord one question which i have been meaning to ask will we find world destroying and super OP magic at all which will do terrible terrible things to us as we use it /

Well, the magic will function via a runic system where you'll have to pick out a combination of runes (obviously, only out of the ones you presently have) to create spells. Most will be duds (or duplicates), but with a three-rune system and a high number of runes able to fit in each of the three slots... yeah, I'm sure there will be some surprises hidden in there.  ;)

Does that mean we're going to have to worry about spoiled food making our soldiers sick? :P

Hehe. Come to think of it, I should add some kind of racial perk that allows you to consume spoiled food without negative side effects. Now why don't humans have that one?  >:(

Most animals don't have that one either, but humans are much more sensitive to the germs and parasites in meat then most animals and thus we get sick from meat that was laying out for even just an hour.

Sort of like a three stage thing with humans at the bottom and scavengers who can eat rotten meat at the top.

Though it isn't like Herbivores can eat any plant either, even of the ones that eat small plants some cannot eat grass.

Well in fact we do have it, we can eat spoiled food, keep whats good and throw away the remaining, sure there is bad side-effect but we can actually survive out of it when you have nothing else to eat. And by spoiled im not talking moldy thats another story. Some mans are better to keep it inside than the others. Background also play a good role in it too, if you are used to live in the wood and eat only product of the wood without processing as everything is today your digestive system with strenghten and allow you to eat stuff that are less edible or harder on your stomach.

Today we cannot tolerate anything slightly out of date why? Because our digestive system has been conditionated like that today product are processed more and more to make sure everything is taken out of it and that its perfect clean. The stomach is like an immune system, if you always live in a pristine/clean/antiseptic/sterilisate area, the smallest anything might kill you. Same thing for food, if you always eat clean-processed bah you get the idea.

Myself i can eat pretty much anything up to moldy, worst case scenario? 55min later i have to sit somewhere you get the idea. Now if my GF would have eaten the same... would most likely be an hospital story. Why? Because i did live hard in the past and i did eat stuff i wasnt supposed to, am i proud of it? nope, am i shy of it? neither, its part of what made me today and im proud of who i am today.

So LD its something you can train so yeah human can and have it, its just not *trained* enough with our industrialissationthingsomething.

Empyrea. I like the name. I certainly hope you add something along the lines of Godbird Empyrea From Dragonquest VIII

I think the scope and direction of the game has shifted significantly from the ideas that spawned the name (I was around for the original thread in creative projects), which were cult-based.  This name is more representative of the new broader focus.

You have to go to the User Control Panel, then Usergroups. Apply to join the correct group and email me at dm.hagar@gmail.com to let me know it's pending (or wait until I notice it on my next skim-through). :)

Looks like it's going to take quite some time to develop, but looks incredible. I will keep watching this one.

The website is quite well done.
Also, this post is an effectively camouflaged PTW.

Aww. Cult was such a cool name.

I thought so too, and I knew how to pronounce it which was nice.

Now I think about it, "Cult: Awakening of the Old Ones" isn't much different from "H. P. Lovecraft: The Game".

Empyrea is just another generic fantasy game name, which is probably better for a fantasy :P
