WC1: Nothing. Not even the odd asteroid popping in.
SM: when you have to escort the two Draymans (Draymen?) ans they keep bumping into each other.
SM2: nothing.
WC2: No promotions. Starting the trend of making Kilrathi fighters just inferior.
SO1: Not so memorable story and so interesting bonus...
I'm showing my age probably too but I really dislike these tutorials. I wan't a manual in which I can look up what I need whenever the situation arises - and not have it explained to me via textboxes in the game at certain times.
Hey, great read in the chapter and this thead! It's very cool to read such indepth stories about WC2. It really shows again what a great game it is. So many so fond memories. I'm getting all nostalgic - they don't make gams like that anymore ;-).
Edit: And I agree with Wedge: for me, the...
YES! WC2's Rapier is the prettiest and coolest human fighter in all of the WC franchise!
I always liked the WC4 Banshee and after the (to me) incredibly boring and off-putting confed cap ship (and fighter) designs of WC3, even the Intrepid looked interesting to me.
I definately prefer the end...
My most sincere congratulations to the happy parents and a warm welcome to Georgianna! With the new corona virus around being pregnant and giving birth are even more of a challenge.
Happy birthday all!
Thanks for this article because I am one of those fans that still hasn't taken the figurines out of their blisters (except two doubles I have). Now I know I haven't missed too much (because I read the Handbook).
Ooh, I'd like to see some Kilrathi cockpit scenes (not necessarily with the...
Lots of memories! Silent Service, Gunship were played around the clock in our house. My favourite was F-19 Stealth Fighter. That fat glossy manual, it was awesome. I remember climbing as high as possible and watching the sky turn darker...
While it certainly has a completely different feeling than the other options, my truthful answer to the question is the Freij MK II. The other options sure gave the impression of being flying fortresses but were so slow and sluggish relative to the enemy opposition that almost always the enemy...
Wow, that's very interesting stuff. Partially sounds much more involved than what we got in WC2 at the end (which was still good of course). I like the ideas very much. Also - ignoring for a moment that Hobbes was only a construct -, I am torn whether I like the idea better that the Kilrathi...
Hmm, interesting. But I'm rather sure that I got killed very often in WC2 by my wingmen shooting through me, especially Hobbes. Maybe his true personality shown through...
Pretty cool video indeed! And it's the first time I realized that Savage Empire was an Ultima game! I never played it (my brotherdid) but I remember the box art quite well.
Hehe, great to re-read all this (though some I hadn't read before like the mega millions. Good for the CIC!). And the "inside jokes" really made me chuckle.
Thanks for the laugh, everyone stay safe!
