You don't have to be in your ship to build your lightsaber. You just have to have Bao-Dur in your party.

The problem was he was on the ship - and going back to it triggers the fight. I don't know of any other method of swapping party members.

How ya liking the game so far?

The game will occasionally ask you to pick party members when the party has to split up and do quests in two different locations. Not helpful in this case though, I realize.

Also, how did you get all the lightsaber parts before fighting Visas? She's supposed to have the last piece that you need, you take it from her lightsaber after you beat her.

[Akura]

Does she? According to the quest log I had all the components. I forgot where I got the a couple of them, but I think the last component I got was from the girl in the Enclave ruins.

After 2 final boss battles, Anubis GOT DUNKED ON.  THAT WAS A RAD GAME, HOLY SHIT.

Ah, she was added by the Restored Content. I had my lightsaber before I met her, so I never realized that she gave me a part as well. I was wondering where that extra came from.

Restored Content gives you a lot of duplicate quest items.

I pierced an 8z deep aquifer. And by that, I mean that I got 8z INTO the aquifer then found out it was 11z deep.

Still, though.

[Amperzand]

Seriously dude. 11z. You should upload an unused copy of the site for masochists to play with.

It'd been many years since Lord Wolf was brained by a blue maceman, and decades since the first breach to the outer wall was made. The forces of Lord Whispa were victorious, and in their victory set out to destroy all remants of the ancient metropolis which had invaded their homeland and brought hell to their families.
The totality of victory was not easy.

The outer wall had exacted such a terrible price on the vanguard of the Whispa forces.
Over three hundred men attacked the southeastern gate. Our archers were incapable of suppressing theirs, who had superior numbers, quality and the benefit of both fortifications and fire. Our infantry were attacking a barred wooden gate on a narrow strip of land bordered by the moat, having to lose precious lives filling in the land bridge to the gate before busting it down. The surviving pikemen ran through and butchered the garrisoned marksmen before being pincushioned. When I sent in the second wave to exploit the breach it turned out to be a trap, the path of least resistance turned out to be an absolute killing field from which hundreds died pointlessly. The laddermen failed to reach the walls in sufficient numbers and subsequently only one soldier made it to the top of the walls - alone, the last to die. The Wolf's forces lost virtually nothing.
This forced the war effort to attack the stonegate and begin the process of digging a land bridge and breaking through an even tougher gate anew.

Here is all that remains of the inner walls. Built of hewed stone dotted with great round towers with interlocking fields of fire and heavy artillery atop each one, breaching them was a costly task. Frontal assaults failed to achieve lasting damage, even when portable walls allowed our marksmen greater survivability. Where breaching, tunneling and assaults achieved nothing but waste more lives and test the Fortress for weaknesses (it turned out to have none), the siege towers changed everything. Their ground crews moved them into place and only let themselves die once the ramp hit the wall. The enemy's siege engines nearest to our towers were taken out in the first few waves, keeping the siege towers in place for future assaults.
From there it became a matter of brutal face to face fighting, with the horrific exception being the enemy still had cover and our forces did not. Nevertheless, it was a kiss of death of sorts. It didn't matter if 10 of our men died just to kill 1 of theirs, as long as I kept the enemy away from my towers more of mine would reappear and fewer of theirs.

After the inner walls were breached and the last battlements cleared of stubborn fighters all that was left was the central Fortress and the inhabitants of the city themselves. The city guard and a ragtag militia of hunters and lumberjacks were not to be ignored, the lumberjacks quite notably nearly recaptured the wall segment my siege towers latched onto. Each time a successful raid was made into the city heartlands all the manufacturies and farmlands, windmills and bakeries e.t.c. were targeted so that even after the enemy killed the last of my forces, each time the next wave arrived it was to an increasingly desperate and ill-equipped starving force. The local populace either starved or were killed, their once picturesque settlement reduced to campfire whose only residents are a half dozen pikemen standing by to make sure squatters and scavengers don't move in, or that my own people's children don't get into too much trouble when they inevitably wander through. Wild animal herds have since moved in, and trees are steadily reclaiming the ruins. Tearing down all of their walls and lumberjacks has let mother nature take it all back.

Sometimes only the presence of ruined siege engines and scorched earth stand testament to there ever being humans there to begin with.
Gone are the desiccated corpses of men, bloated in the Wolf's moat. The moat had been filled in by engineers after the war was won, and what was once a river of fetid murk and blood was now a forest pockmarked with ruins. It's hard to imagine that one lifetime ago there were rows of neat orchards lined up one after the other behind a wooden palisade, guarded by tower after tower full of patrolling marksmen and ballistae. It's hard to imagine just how many died on the narrow strip of land that only trees now call home.

This dense forest was once home to many of the Wolf's loyal serfs. They toiled away harvesting pitch, cutting down trees, smeltering away at their furnaces, hewing away at stone or stalking herds of deer to bring venison back to the feast hall. Towards the mid-late stages of the siege the enemy was steadily losing their ability to defend their people out in the forest, least of all from a shaggy band of swamp-swimming spearmen. 15 men snuck their way through the river ford into enemy lines whilst the watchmen were busy holding off an attack on their gate, these 15 men would engage in a terrifying guerrilla campaign which saw the destruction and disruption of much of the Wolf's materiel operations. No more wood, stone and steel means no more repairs and equipment. Losing only 1 man, they achieved more than the dead hundreds before them ever could've in life or death.
Now it is an untamed wilderness and no traces of human life remain, besides the occasional shaggy swamp-swimming spearman.

Now my city is alone, nature running her course and rendering my enemy a figment of the past. Walls encompass walls, towers cover towers and everything is well protected against the roaming bandits or wolves in the forest. Now and then some bandits do succeed in raiding my breweries or churches, or some fire will rage through my densely clustered metropolis for a time, or mad cow disease will make carcasses of all my herds - but there is no question, I owned it.

Stronghold

Good game. Very good memories.
Though I barely understand any of the screens you posted besides the last one. Oh right, it was a castle and it got completly removed from existence and only the siege towers and such remain. Would be nice to see the actual combat screens though. :/

I did not have the foresight to

It's only trees now

[Akura]

Nice, what map?


Also, beware those trees. If you don't have an army of woodcutters, or the tree blight event happens, they will spread like a better plague than the actual plague that can happen in this game.

Going to your party screen (in the middle of the menu) should allow you to switch out your party, unless for plot reasons you can't. You'll have to remove at least one of your current companions first.

Sudden animal attack on the camp for plot reasons. I tried to build a rudimentary wall in the direction specified, but 90 seconds was not enough warning to figure out the building system and get the wall up. I plopped down the two turrets I got from the same guy who warned us of the attack from a previous quest, and placed them in the direction the attack was supposed to come from.

Instead of a mass of animals coming from that direction, they all spawned on top of the small camp, in the corner, barely within range of the turrets. The good news was that they all focused on the injured woman on life support, rather than me, so they didn't kill me while I killed them(she survived with 1/3 of her health left). The better news was that most of the first wave was shredded by the guns. The bad news is that the rest of the waves spawned right on top, out of range of the guns and the animals did focus on me and the other fighters.

The last wave was solely these monkey-looking things that are dangerous in both melee and range. I managed to lead the last of them back into range of the guns. I did all this while both dead tired and suffering from a bacterial infection.

Planet Explorers. I had completely forgotten this battle was mandatory, and tiredness and infections were not in the demo I played.

Custom, and dear gods there are so many trees, I was horrified to find there were even trees colonizing one of the hovel areas of my Fort
