You do?

My indirect point being that the amount of destruction that the Resistance intends to cause in order to overthrow Emperor Cole would run the very serious risk of lapsing security systems. How do you destroy an army and their leader without even grazing the chance of temporarily disabling the Sonic Fence? I mean, it's possible, but it's risky.

Perhaps Tyrant should have thought about that before becoming a fascist dictator?
Like if he acted like a normal human and not a monster, there wouldn't really be any need for a resistance movement.

Oh, I know. I'm not denying that at all, and "OOC", I can totally see why people want to overthrow him.

That being said, Chili Incarnate over there truly is protecting the world from Hamidon. If they overthrow him, and if the process of overthrowing him destroys the Sonic Fences, do you feel that the Resistance would share some responsibility in any of the repercussions of that?

That's a nice touch. Wish we saw some of that in other zones.

I love the dust devils. And the sparking power lines. And so many other little touches.

Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

Weather. You guys are doing weather for the zones, aren't you?

No, they're adding birds. They decided it's not fair that heroes standing on the ground get pushed around by pedestrians and fliers can avoid this...

Can't you make them demorecordable? I chased dust devils around for like 20 minutes recording before finally realizing they don't appear in a demofile.

Don't they? It seems like they would be part of the map like birds and ambient trash that get automatically generated.

Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Birds, while not appearing in demofiles per se, CAN be added via democode (it's a weird thing). But to add a dust devil to a scene, I'd need to know its demo info.

It's crazy just how big that tentacle is. (Btw, that GM line-up was pretty awesome, never saw that picture before.) Because it also looks somewhat far off.

So, Comrades, while I report your thought crimes to Big Bro- Er, Emperor Cole and the Thought Poli- I mean, Seers, do you have any other double plus un-good behavior to confess to? All Hail Emperor Cole; All Love Emperor Cole!

They have become more powerful than I could possible imagine. (They must have been struck down.)

Well, so long as we're using newspeak and 1984 references, any contrary thought would be a crime. (Unless I'm taking this half a step too far as I am known to do. ^_^ )

Yes, it is a crime to support the terrorists. Hail Cole!

We don't know that.

Of course it's weather. What do you think "The Coming Storm" is all about?

Even my heroes would step on normal humans if I could target civilians.

Stealth-"curing" Lost and laughing as the Civs get attacked and run away is ample fun though.

After-all, how can you be a hero if there's nobody to save?
