The_Mather1 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 How about making it so that the creator of the tech must know how it works and all the tools to make it. For example I should be able to mix charcoal, sulphur and saltpeter, and should be to do so at any era as long as I have the resources.

archimage_a Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 More reasonably the moderator(me) must know vaguely how it works. You don't need to provide schematics, just what principles are involved. Anyway with Terragen I am going from research times...since just randomly mixing those chemicals together would be like randomly discovering oil and the internal combustion engine two days in and wrecking the game...Doubtlessly though you could discover the technology very early in the game, like the Chinese did, but you could not just go out into the wilderness, come back with Charcoal, Saltpeter and Sulpher and go 'Hey, look guys, I randomly mixed these chemicals together, in these proportions, and then happened to light the mix, and guess what happened...' That sort of thing is just silly. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archimage_a Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 No.If you want to do your quest for eternal life that is actually designed to discover gunpowder then you will be waiting a long time because I will be rolling a thousand sided die. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree.

The_Mather1 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 It was just an example. But you should keep in mind that they mixed all good; honey, etc, and all not so good; sulphir, etc, and thought of the cracking in the pot as a good sign.

archimage_a Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 What you should keep in mind is that in the real world China was a powerhouse when it made most of the discoveries, because people could afford to waste stuff.The West similarly made leaps forward when they had time to rest on their laurels... In game, anyone who is not being paid to lounge by the research budget is not going to have time to rest on their laurels...so don't expect breakthroughs from people who are randomly cooking or whatever. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree.

archimage_a Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 I believe it was either Greece, Rome or Persia that mase it first, You mean the Byzantines... The point is that they, unlike everyone else, stumbled upon it...a 1 in a million event.

Icuownage Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 NECK MAN AIM FOR THE NECK :@, nah I'm not to good with fighting myself, I just know the places to hit, but don't ever really fight back, just let it happen. But then again my school never really has bullies resorting to physical means. It's a REALLY big shaft.I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?

archimage_a Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Probably for the best. Killing people, accidently or not, is never a good move. Frankly the idea that beating people up solves anything is prepostrous...they just come back with more people and then beat you up even more.Personally, I just got on with it... http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree.

Earth Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 yeah i know, i try not to killpeople, and ive succeded so farknockingpeople out however is not a problem.but it was pretty painfull.

The_Mather1 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 .... i dont have an alowance and b, my mom sees me with that stuff, i am dead.Ok, maybe not a crowbar, but a codpiece would still be useful (and hopefully your mom won't check for it), I wore one to school one day (juat for the lulz of it) and my friends found it funny to kick my crotch just to test it.You can buy a codpiece anywhere they sell martial arts equipment I think.
