Well, i'm now in world 29, does anyone want to be my ally?  :wub:

Go to the Alliance section and search for HoA as an Alliance Tag. I will process you and you can ask me as may questions as you want in game. I don't want this topic to get too advanced B)

As for your previous question, Crystal isn't anywhere near as important as Metal at the start. For this reason I would drop its production to maybe 80% or so. you can do so by going to Resources and clicking on the drop down box for crystal production and setting it to 80%. Then press claculate to see how that works for you.
Anyone can take a sword out of a stone, but it takes a King, to put a sword into a stone!

There was a time when the below was important news.......

Important recent game changes players should know about:
-both XP and Death Penalty have been completely revamped
-Several items like Holy Water are now stackable.
-Goblin Territory has been added to the game.
-We are now at version 1.5.0 Beta.

Alright, this looks interesting so I made an account and applied for the League. I don't know if I'l actually get very involved, but I might and I figured I should at least try it out. :)

Eh, personally I rarely like sci-fi. The only exceptions I can remember are StarCraft(I love Blizzard.) and Isaac Asimov's books. Well, I liked The Time Machine by H. G. Wells too, but there wasn't much sci-fi in it other than the time machine itself. :P And there was a book series, Pern or something that was technically sci-fi, but it was actually almost all fantasy. Of course, when it's not REAL sci-fi but HUMOR sci-fi, then I like. :P

Huh, in hindsight, I seem to like a lot of it...but I'll keep claiming I don't like it. I do that with a lot of stuff.

Ah, Pern...
It's a sci-fi/fantasy cross. Technically it's sci-fi, but since it involves dragons, most libraries have it as fantasy. One library I went to actually had about half as sci-fi and the other half as fantasy, which is just nuts...
The dragons are genetically engineered, so at the beginning and the end of the series they're usually classified as sci-fi, while the middle parts are fantasy.

Well, we don't get every book here. In the few Pern books I read, everything went purely fantasy, then they slowly started finding old spaceships and such. :P

Although I read another Pern book that wasn't translated...it was about dolphins or something...I didn't really get all of it, there were huge blanks between it and the books I had read.

I hate it, we never get any books here. They MAYBE translate a book 5-10 years after it's out, and it's overpriced. I get most of my books from a store that imports fiction books, but they import only a few of each book, or usually one. So I have to go there often, sit on the floor for half an hour and leave with twenty books. :P They got used to me, they steer clear of me and nod politely if I make eye contact.

Now that I think about it, I haven't been there in months...

Maybe they should have made more eye contact; it sounds like you were the one keeping the place going!

Ogame sounds interesting, thanks for the tip everyone!

When you see a weird guy sit on the floor ruffling his own hair, mumbling to himself and throwing books around; you stay away. :P Of course, they could ask me not to do that, but they know I'm a big spender. You know what they say: If you're poor, you're mad; if you're rich, you're eccentric.(Or something like that.)

I had looked at Ogame, but I didn't really feel like it...I MIGHT try if I have nothing to do. I just started KoL and I'm not even playing that, even though I liked it. :P I don't seem to have much time nowadays...although it might be because I spend almost every non-school hour in front of a computer. :D (Yes, I know that's exactly when to play these games...but I'm always doing other stuff.)

Yeah, I played KoL for a while, but after you go through your first ascension it gets kinda... repetative. I haven't played much at all since then.

Spoiler warning: I summarize the entire events of the Pern series below; if you don't want to know the main things that happen then don't read it.



Yeah, the beginning is mostly about the original founders of Pern finding the world, settling in, discovering the menace that is Thread, and developing a way to deal with it before it comes back while they're trying to move to the northern continent before the southern volcanoes blow their tops... In the process they develop dragons but are forced to leave almost everything behind. So, the next generation of people (the first to be born and raised on Pern) start developing a new vocabulary for things ('turns' instead of 'years', for example) and dealing with life without technology, and eventually they forget they ever had any machines or anything like them.
Eventually they move back onto the southern contenint (which is apparently now stable) and discover the technology that was left behind. One of the things they discover is a supercomputer that eventually leads them to get rid of the Thread for good. (I think the dragons carried large explosives to the Red Planet, either blowing it up or knocking it far enough off course that it wouldn't get close enough to threaten Pern again, but I could be wrong)
What I don't know is what happens to the whole system of dragons after that, since they wouldn't really be needed for anything more than transportation and message carrying.
Graaaagh!

I didn't know about the supercomputer. :P Well, still doesn't explain those blasted dolphins...but that was a side book.

Well, like every human society that no longer has an enemy, they'll probably turn their weapons(dragons in this case) on each other. Civil war on Pern!

Psh. The dragons have quite a strong bond with each other; the most likely civil war would be between the Weyrs (I think I spelled that right) and the Holds once the Holds got annoyed and stopped giving thithes to the Weyrs.
Re the dolphin thing: I think the humans discovered that the dolphins were more intelligent than originally thought, and started using them for various purposes (such as alarming the nearby Hold to coastal dangers). Don't remember a whole lot about it, but it was interesting.

Meh. For me, the gist of the series is: Those fire lizards are darn cute. :P I loved the book with that singing girl.

The dragons have a stronger bond with their riders. Dragons don't openly fight, but they argue almost as much as humans. But yes, Weyr-Hold war seems logical; if quite one-sided. :P

Sauceror.

It's extremely funny...just repetitive and usually hard.

It isn't that hard I've ascended once, twice, thrice. Three times. Saucerors are good to a point. Their spells are very good so try learning some of them. If you want to make some meat learn advanced saucecrafting then every day go to skills and cast it three times then sell them in trade for 1000meat if you don't have a store
No, just no.
