I bet the new leader/mobs have stuns/sleeps/holds out the [censored].

Marshal_Valor · 10-13-2004 05:11 PM

Smells like Halloween to me...

Anyone else notice the trees changing color at all?

Also an odd note particular to the Nazi's of WWII. They were heavily into the occult and mysticism. This doesn't really surprise me at all.

Very intriguing, I can't wait to bust some more 5th Column heads...

Eh..looks like time to polish my butt-kicking bots again *takes out a pair of size 15 (RL size) spiked, bloody boots, and proceeds to polish them* *looks up from work* WHAT? you think I was kidding? *resumes polishing*

Pep_Cat · 10-13-2004 05:17 PM

The mentioning of "new bases cropping up" might mean that all of those 5th Column missions that still take place in dull, old warehouses, will have them use the new 5th Col outpost tileset.

And more warwolves and vampyres? Cool. I could get those badges way before I'm 30th level.

....as if they were almost grateful to me for bringing them in. I tell you this: something has them spooked.

/em sigh

Ok, what did they break *this* time? I somehow find myself saving 5th column from their own masterplans as much as I arrest them. Pffwt.

They should retire from villain-dom. They're just not up to the job.

The book/movie with the Hitler clones was Ira Levin's The Boys from Brazil. I don't think it's Hitler clones, though, since I already stopped them from raising zombie versions of him. (And, since "leaders" was plural, I'll assume Goebbels and some of the others were in the body bags, too.)

But, I sayed for the dental plan.

Kullom · 10-13-2004 06:06 PM

Okay, grasping at straws here...

We know the devs use literary names and clues in their updates. By finding those clues, we might be able to glean what the devs are planning for us.

Remember that the last update was called "Through the Looking Glass". The 'new hero' is named The White Rabbit - both are references to the same Lewis Carroll book (also known as Alice in Wonderland). Could it be possible that they are related in this instance?

Maybe the 5th Column have been messing with portal technology... maybe they are pulling in soldiers from the past, or maybe even from the future?

Follow the White Rabbit... if he's saying the soldiers are spooked, that's the path we need to be following.

Khanon · 10-13-2004 06:09 PM

Oh, I already got that far... When you add that Requiem was found, and apprehended, in another dimension through a Portal Corp portal device (and all the ruptures he was creating all over the place to rip our dimension apart), gods only know what he brought from the depths of the Outer Realms dimensions before he was apprehended (ignoring the fact he's apprehended nearly daily by various heroes lol).

Mad_Magnus · 10-13-2004 06:33 PM

Rularuu?

I mean, they're from another dimension. What if the 5th Column messed with them? What if that has them spooked? Or something related to it, anyway.

Perhaps they aren't building up to an offensive stance. Rather, a defensive one.

Sabby · 10-13-2004 06:37 PM

Clearly a hint as to what's in Update #3 - Weeee!

What are the 5th Column Running from? THEY'RE NOT! They're running to! The most extreme elimination challenge!

MasterHung · 10-13-2004 06:54 PM

theyre prollly gonna give 5th column more stuns than the malta, thats the dev's definition of 'new threat'

Darke · 10-13-2004 07:03 PM

It'd be awesome if Requiem himself lead the invasion or attack or whatever.
