    If I'd known you where here, got captured by Dr. Donger and his white fluffy cat and where about to be killed, I might have come sooner.

    It's "were". The second-person past-tense form of "to be" is were.

    Sorry. Pet peeve, and I wouldn't have brought it up if you hadn't mentioned the spelling/punctuation/grammar issues with the arc.

    Carry on.

    Thanks for the review. I'm a Lovecraft fan myself, obviously, and I wanted to do something full of unholy runes and horrible old gods...

    Already I can see some annoyance potential from this. That's a lot of to-hit debuffing to throw around and there seems to be only 1 type of minion in this "Defiled" group.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I went back through and adjusted them a bit--I added a new minion type and swapped a few powers around, then played through the first mission with them in it. They should be a bit less debuff-y now. I mainly had all the dark powers for thematic reasons, but I can definitely see where it could be a little overwhelming.

    Another worker read the tablet that they found inside, aloud apparently, and then all hell broke lose.

    I actually meant that he just looked at the inscription, and then it just kind of went off like a sort of mystical Claymore mine. I could go back and explain it more clearly, but Howard's explanation is already at the maximum 300 characters, and it's not crucial.

    During my search of the offices I found a shipping manifest and learned that there are more of those tablets (obelisks?) being stored at another warehouse.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Thanks for pointing this out. I called them "tablets" in the first mission, then glanced over at the object I was using, which is listed as "obelisk" in the editor, and my brain apparently decided they were obelisks. The text should all be consistent now.

    (Slight nitpick, these are high-tech crates, which look a bit out of place in this warehouse.)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I did that mainly because I was having a problem with the wooden crates for some reason. I've changed them to metal crates to be a little more thematically appropriate for the warehouse.

    [ QUOTE ]
    Five of the obelisks arrived safely, but somehow the 6th got teleported to the Atlas Park hospital and "went off".

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I actually meant that one had already gotten shipped out and delivered just before the warehouse raid. I've reworded that part of the mission briefing so it's a little clearer (I hope).

    In a way a clear all for this sort of even is justified, it's just that it does get a bit tough finding them all in this map as there are so many bits of scenery to hide behind. Maybe change it so it's only clear the last room instead.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I've changed it so it's just the last room now, although I do like the clear all for "getting rid of the infestation of evil" purposes. It can be a little annoying on that map, though.

    Mine shows as 1033, which is Americanized English. I have no clue what any other languages might be, and I'm not going to play with my registry just to find out. I might break something.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That sounds like a Windows locale ID, in which case this list might be useful. (It's for Word, but the locale IDs are used across the whole operating system.) This isn't to say, of course, that you might not break something messing around with that registry key--do it at your own risk.
  5. I can't take the Legacy Chain seriously because I keep picturing them as just having gotten off their shifts at the Renaissance festival.
