Cool, and if you decide to ri off the maps realy, maybe you could put up a
kind of ultimate edition with all maps included, so that anyone who likes it
can download it? Just an idea wich is coming in my mind as an alternative.

Hi Al,
personally, i like rampage just how it is. The user guide should be
completed with the new added things but then you can get it out finaly, I
like the arena maps as well and I realy hope that all the maps you put into
the last version you have shown will stay in it, so anyone can chose wich
maps he wants to play and wich not. Please realy consider leaving them in,
because that has been a lot of work for you till this stage. I like the
maps. Ofcourse, it is your work, so you can do what you want, but I would
see that as a whole game with all the work you done. I think it wouldn't be
so good if you'd leave things out of it, since as it is, it has most freedom
and variations to play it, wich is great in my opinion. I would realy
consider that.
You can be realy proud of that but to have the new things explained in the
user guide would be important. More important than ripping any maps off,
like I said, in terms of the maps it feels very good as it is, with a lot of
maps to chose, a story and lots of playing variations, the arena included.
So, I wouldn't rip them off, realy. Don't forget, you never good negative
feedback about the maps itself in the list from what I remember.
Best regards
Niklas

Betreff: [ian-reeds-games] Re: Rampage
Hi Niklas,
Your right abut TB. I agree completely. I think TB is well worth the effort.
I cant thank Ian enough for making it!
Rampage really should be done by now, and I apologize for not getting it
out. I am actually unhappy with aspects of the map pack. The arena duels for
me are just boring to me. I cant imagine anyone really liking that aspect
of the map pack, and I kind of have a gut instinct to rip out the arena
duels and that storyline all together.
Maybe that why I have procrastinated on it for so long. I am sorry
abot it.
I have kicked a dozen ideas around. I think I entertained the idea of
sequels to what I already made. That is when starship battles elite came
along, and kind of flopped around like a dead fish on my harddrive, lol.
I considered World War 1 and 2, but in the end, the scope of it was huge and
complicated. I thought about LOTR, or Shannara and/or dragon lance based
map packs, but it is hard to follow the plot of a really well known story,
and trying to fill expectations is tough. I worked out Magic the gathering,
and had a few prototypes working, but the game has a lot of things that
don't quite work in TB. I think itcan be done, but there is no way that it
is a one person job. The sheer number of cards is something like 200+ I
think. Another problem is alsothe random factor. Maybe with more powerful
scripts?...
Right now I am focusing n an old dungeons and dragons module.
It is called Den of the Slave Lords. My hope is to make it as close to a
Dungeons and dragons experience as I can. This translates to magic being
done differently then in Kobold Dungeon.
Mages will have a large amount of spells, but they will be one shot
castings. This means that a player needs to develop a spell casting
strategy.If you cast fireball, that's it, You have to use a different spell
next round. If you miscast fireball, you lose the spel and so must
compensate with another spell next round.
Clerics can reuse spells, but they have "Spell slots: which correspond to a
certain number of spells castable per spell level.
The maps are not going o be large maps. They will be a series of mas going
thru the various events till the end fight.
That is the hope anyway.

Subject: [ian-reeds-games] Rampage
Hi Al,
just out of interest, what is the current status of rampage and is there
something planet or in the works at the moment till it's final version? I am
still enjoying it, like the other map packs as well. I think tactical
battles has the biggest offering in terms of single player fun and enjoyment
in it's genre with it's growing map pack selection till now just because the
map packs are so different that each is it's own game in some way.
Best regards
Niklas
