    Melek for sale !

    Well, it was a younger Emporer (so to speak) that executed his son. And who's to say what political forces were also at work there, not to mention what kind of relationship they had. Later in life he may have been less inclined to be so hardline. And/or he may have gotten on much better with...

    Melek for sale !

    So what ever happened to Thrakhath's WC3 head? I thought he looked the coolest (then the Emporer...)

    Melek for sale !

    It's always a shame to see what happens to a masterpiece that is overtweaked. That looks corny, and it looks like a Wookie, not a Kilrathi. As already stated, WC3 had the best Kilrathi, by FAR.

    Thanks. I tried it last night, but it was the same. It just hung up trying to load. :(

    DOSBox Questions

    I'm having a problem getting DOSBox to do anything other than run (itself). I'm trying to get Armada and Academy to run (specifically), but Strike Commander and Privateer would be nice too (eventually will need to have Priv run once I finish my run through the series and head back to start on...

    Question for Wing Commander Swamis

    Most of the time when you land (in game anyway), the ship doesn't seem to be moving at all. And even in full on newtonian movement, it wouldn't be that hard to manage it (when you're not under fire at least). The wheeled craft would be easier still since they could just touch anywhere on the...

    Running Privateer/rf/armada/pg In Windows: Howto

    I'm trying to get Armada going in DOSBox .62 to no avail. :( I'm running XP Professional, SP1 on a P4 2.4GHz with 1GB of RAM, on an Asus mobo, with a SB Audigy, and a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D. I've set the ems to false, and set it to run full screen. I've tried memsizes of 100...

    Naval Designation Questions

    Gamilons?!! Where!? :D In a sense, all space vessels are submarines. True, there is no "marine" in space to be "sub", but they are still fully enclosed vessels with their own atmosphere and pressure operating in an evironment where people could not be outside without special gear......

    Tolwyn saying Black Lance may pray in Price of Freedom

    Kinda like the good christian commander who ordered an entire villiage slain because "God will know his own"? (forget his name) Or indeed, any of the crusades? Sorry, not trying to be antagonistic, just pointing out that prayer doesn't make people less evil. :)

    Question for Wing Commander Swamis

    Loki. At least, that's all I ever heard him called. IIRC, it was something about an attempt by all the gods to secure him (the Fenris Wolf), and they lied to him telling him it wasn't permenant, and he agreed only if one of the god put his hand in his mouth while he was being tied. Tyr...

    Question for Wing Commander Swamis

    Hmmm, Tyr is the Norse god of war and justice. The one handed god who lost his hand in an attempt to bind the Fenris wolf (a successful attempt at that). In old English his name is Tiw, and his day is the second of the (modern) week. There may be something Greek with that name as well, I'm...

    Question for Wing Commander Swamis

    I don't know the answer, and I can't say that I recall 4, 6, or 7 at all, but, #7 caught my attention because "ella" is Greek for an informal hello (IIRC). Was that coincidence or intentional?

    WC3 Question

    :eek: Ack! :( Thanks for the help guys. Looks like I don't have much other choice. But playing through all that again (unless it was a fresh run after a year or several, of course) is just a PITA. :/

    WC3 Question

    Sounds like I'm screwed then. I'll try again tonight, but even when I did go under cloak to nav 3, there still was only Hobbes, no Thrakhath. Unless I can make him show up somehow, I think I'm at an impasse. :(

    WC3 Question

    Ramming a T-Bolt with an Excalibur may not be the best idea, but with invincibility on it wouldn't be too bad. lol Ok, I have tried the cloak on before heading to nav 3 (with Hobbes), I'm willing to try it again though. But, once I get out of auto pilot, I'm like 12K from the nav point. Once...

    WC3 Question

    Right, but like I said - no Thrakhath, just Hobbes, some Paktahns, and infinite waves of Sorthaks.

    WC3 Question

    And therein lies the rub - how to not get unlimited waves of fighters at nav 3? :/ I tried the cloak to see if I could just bypass them, but no such luck.

    WC3 Question

    I flew that whole mission without any wingmen as I didn't want them to die off. There is no nav 4 that I can see. There is also no bloodfang, and no Strakha ace that I recall either. Just Hobbes in a Thunderbolt, a couple of Paktahns and a bunch of Sorthaks. I have gone from nav 2 to nav 3...

    WC3 Question

    Ok, now I'm on the third Kilrah leg, I get the T-Bomb, head to the first 2 nav points and blast everything. At nav 3 I'm finding Hobbes, a few Paktahns, and infinite waves of Sorthaks. It doesn't match the game guide at all. I've tried everything I can think of and am really getting...
