Overworld and Adventures

What part of enslaving someone's deceased body and mind is morally good? You're holding them against their will, and who is to say they aren't aware and conscious of what is going on? That would make the zombie a prisoner in his own body, forced to murder and kill his loved ones under control of a maniacal necromancer.

Example, on Skyrim when you raise the dead, occasionally they will sound like they are in pain and beg you for death, and will even let out a thank you before turning to ashes and being released from your control. It's cruel, no matter what purpose you use it for.

 

who says that it's not just the body and that the zombies have any mind at all. but who knows? its really varies from game to game and persons opinion but most of the time the soul is seen as leaving the body after death. Maybe you could resurrect players back and not enslave them as a necromancer too?

 

Except that it isn't real :P

 

What if the dead want to be revived?
how do you know that they aren't sitting there semiconscious as they rot, begging for movement?

 

I'd rather stay dead than become a walking, rotting corpse. Remember, we're not talking about reviving. We're talking about zombies.
Would you want to be a zombie?

But I see your point, I guess sort of they are just willing to take what they can get. Either way, necromancers are most likely going to be stereotypical and evil xD I wish they would give us some of their other ideas for enemies so we have more to discuss on this matter.

 

I will be whatever the most good seeming class is, and then become the evil overlord.

Eric, CHEF OF WAR

 

I don't think you are going to get that far with that title. :/

 

I will roast your castle on an open fire.

 

I own no cattle. I will roast YOU on an open fire. My MOLE friends and I shall have a feast!

 

castle...
I said castle...
My units will blend your balls into a fine cold slush, then leave you in the desert for two days, and then give you the concoction to drink

 

Oh, it made since because you said you would be the Chef of War. My bad. And I would love that. Sounds lovely.

 

We better sound the drumsticks of war then.

 

Ready the bacon for firing!

 

Our bacon will blot out the sun!
I hope that we can make bacon to eat in game.

 

Well I know I've seen vegetable sprites, and they will add animals. I saw chicken...so I imagine they will be there for a purpose and not just to pretty up Overworld.

 

I don't care if there's no pigs.
I'm so badass i make bacon out of chickens anyway.

 

Thanks for being cool, dev guy. The newbie communism discussion was pretty short, though. I can certainly understand your reasons for not wanting that leveling system. Age of Empires is a wonderful thing for this game to draw from. :D

"Circlejerk" is a bit harsh. ;-;

 

How in depth is the farming/hunting going to go? (At least.. I think that was an official feature and not a speculation...)
Like, is food going to be necessary to survive? Is it going to be there for buffs?

And how much can you tell us about the planned classes?

Also: Can I play as a bison?

 

well they wouldn't have any skills they would be peasants who would be living under the ruling lords rules and if they don't obey then they make enemies of a big dude if they act to early then they get squashed

mating in kag you have a civilised way to do the "action" i'd just use necromancy on someone (CHICKENS!) and marry them the good old aussie way
