[quote name="King Prawn"][ThorBlackHammer] cloak and go in small? decoy? orbital laser? take units out in orbit with groth ship specials? motherships escorting a slow fleet? healers supporting a wall of artillery? there are so many ways to play and win [ThorBlackHammer] and i keep finding new ones. and that's what makes it a good game for me. that i keep surprising myself with it. [ThorBlackHammer] DONE [MatrixLuvr] I am not sure how to PM so can I ask a question [Joe_Lieberman] Spacemang go ahead. [Joe_Lieberman] double click on my name in the sidebar [SpaceMang] alright i have a couple of questions. madmike has joined the chat. [SpaceMang] first of all will i ever be able to put this game in a little window? [SpaceMang] so i can play it while writing in word, maybe. [ThorBlackHammer] Yes, the game plays just fine in windowed mode [SpaceMang] :o [MatrixLuvr] ok, Joe CheckpointCharles has joined the chat. [tha_snazzle] pizza [Erik_Rutins] It's in the options in the graphics settings screen that appears when you start it. [SpaceMang] now how about the fact that "groth" is actually a serbian tribe who were involved in the war in the balkans during the 90s? [ThorBlackHammer] I don't think that's true, where did you get that information? [tha_snazzle] Pat O'neill [ThorBlackHammer] They're actually named after Fantagraphics Books publisher Gary Groth Frostilicus has left the chat. [SpaceMang] misha glennys book "The Balkans" contains quite a lot of information on them [ThorBlackHammer] But don't tell him Frostilicus has joined the chat. [ThorBlackHammer] Were they longevity-obsessed cannibals as well? Or did we make that part up? [SpaceMang] longevity obsessed. then the UN. :( [ThorBlackHammer] Ah. Maybe the UN is the fifth path to power? [ThorBlackHammer] OK done [SpaceMang] thank you for your helpful answers. :) [Joe_Lieberman] Well, unless Tzven has a real question, that brings us to the end of the chat :-) [Joe_Lieberman] and given our ratio so far, its a 50/50 shot [ThorBlackHammer] what about theswitch? [automman] I have not asked a question yet [Chalkdust] you're not gonna start over from the top of the list? [tha_snazzle] do u like 2 eat pizza [Joe_Lieberman] Oh, crap, sorry, The Switch :-) [theswitch] im here [Tzven] Will players be able to mod it? [theswitch] me first [SpaceMang] i'm curious about orbital drop pods and how you could not include them in a space game? [DamagedRobert] yeah, what about we who are alphabetically disadvantaged [tha_snazzle] no me [Tzven] To, lets say, add vietnam-like scenarios? [theswitch] oh yea snizzle [SpaceMang] research orbital drop pods and drop them anywhere, like [ThorBlackHammer] We do not intend to release mod tools aside from the map editor, unfortunately - Supremacy's source is closed code [Joe_Lieberman] If you have a real question and didn't get to ask it, PM me what it is :-) [madmike] Is there going to be any agent orange aspects to this game? [automman] I do not know how to PM [MatrixLuvr] I have a question [Tzven] napalm the innocent aliens from high orbit? [MatrixLuvr] but Joe isn't asking it [MatrixLuvr] :( [automman] oh well, another sale lost :( [ThorBlackHammer] Mike: the Groth mechs can spray biological warfare attacks and the Cha'ar haev a napalm-esque weapon [Joe_Lieberman] quiet down again people [mobiustrip] sorry [SpaceMang] the serbs used napalm on the albanians :( [DamagedRobert] You seem very proud of your 1/8th Korean heritage, why not the other 7/8s and do any of the factions represent that korean aspect of yourself or at least half a korean aspect? [Joe_Lieberman] Theswitch asks: "How did the design of the gameplay come around" (which has been touched on a few times already) [automman] I heard there was use of napalm in the vietnams wars [Erik_Rutins] This game has nothing to do with Serbs, Vietnam, Fascists, Racsists, etc. It is a SCI-FI game, folks! [SpaceMang] well that's the claim. [DamagedRobert] I believe we'll be the judge of that Erik [Chalkdust] but sci-fi is rooted in our own reality [Erik_Rutins] If you are not here to discuss the game, which is fictional, please leave the chat. [ThorBlackHammer] well, the game isn't entirely fictional, it's on sale now for $24.95 [automman] and that Pol Pot was planning to rally against the capitalist pigs with an army of fleshmongers [automman] oops! I will behave now! [CheckpointCharles] is Pol Pot a playable character? [Tzven] will you ship internationally? [MatrixLuvr] Thor I would like to ask a question but Joe isn't relaying it so [Joe_Lieberman] if you order a CD it can be shipped internationally [ThorBlackHammer] Yeah, I sort of answered that, but it was an iterative process. We started with: turn-based, space and land battles, grid system and just grew from there [madmike] Will the user have to worry about war crimes he commits during game play? [mobiustrip] I would just like to state that I will definately buy this game, because Thor is AWESOME! [Joe_Lieberman] Ok, thanks Mobious [SpaceMang] listen people the serbs barely comitted war crimes. [theswitch] mabe I missed it but will there ever be a store shelf version [MatrixLuvr] I just wanted to tell you that it was a Very Intersting Experience, Tremendously Nice, Awesomely Made. Will A Remake Come 'Round? In Market, Entering Soon? there is absolutely no secret hidden message in this question [Joe_Lieberman] It is on that note that we will conclude the chat with ONE last question [ThorBlackHammer] That's nice to hear! [automman] Are theiving bargirls a part of the resource management element? can I dose my troops with LSD to make them commandos from hell? [theswitch] scroll up than [Joe_Lieberman] Which is "When will a boxed version be available" [theswitch] yes [FABIO2000] The professional reviewers are afraid to mention God of War's complete lack of Thor in the development process [ThorBlackHammer] Joe, you're gonna have to handle that one [Joe_Lieberman] yeah so I figured [Joe_Lieberman] I'll have Erik answer it :-) [FABIO2000] and that is why Supremacy received my gaming dollars [Joe_Lieberman] pass the buck, heheh [CheckpointCharles] does the Groth funding of suicide attacks against the Ch'ar imply that they have a working relationship with terrorists? Paul has joined the chat. [Joe_Lieberman] I'd like to thank Thor for participating in what is, without a doubt, the most difficult chat setting I have ever seen [theswitch] erik? [Frostilicus] what an excellent question! [ThorBlackHammer] Well, you're welcome.I hope you all gained a little more insight into Supremacy [Paul] Anybody know the best way to backup a downloaded game? Can I just save the installatiion file somewhere? [Joe_Lieberman] and I think his calm handling of some rather rude questions is incredible. [MatrixLuvr] Joe, I think it went quite well! [queserasera] 1)Are there black people in the game? 2) If yes, did this provoke flashbacks of any kind? [automman] he took it like a pro. took one for the team. help. they have my eyes. it is light everywhere and I am not of sleep. [SpaceMang] how far away is a patch? [MatrixLuvr] very entertaining [Erik_Rutins] A boxed version should be available this week or early next. [theswitch] a month [Joe_Lieberman] That said: Thanks Thor! [theswitch] thanks [Roentgen] thanks all [SpaceMang] thanks! [DamagedRobert] totally buying that [ThorBlackHammer] No, thank YOU [CheckpointCharles] thanks! [kingprawn] thank you thor-san! [queserasera] Got my money [MatrixLuvr] Thank you Thor, I hope you can sleep at night! Roentgen has left the chat. [SpaceMang] those who ignore history are DOOMED to repeat it! [kingprawn] I will buy two copy! [mobiustrip] THANK YOU! [Erik_Rutins] Good afternoon all, thanks to those who contributed on topic questions. [mobiustrip] BEST CHAT I HAVE EVER BEEN IN! [Frostilicus] Psh, how do we know our 25 dollars aren't going to support biker porn and white slavery? WHERE DOES THE MONEY TRAIL GO! [DamagedRobert] I will buy one to burn in protest.. for the vets ThorBlackHammer has left the chat. [DamagedRobert] then another to play [theswitch] :D [MatrixLuvr] Thi really was an excellent chat [SpaceMang] this was good talk. SpaceMang has left the chat. [DamagedRobert] I'd buy it just because of the chat [Paul] I purchased the digital download version of WAW. Can I back it up somehow in case I, as usual, find a way to ruin my PC? DamagedRobert has left the chat. JasonMcMaster has left the chat. MatrixLuvr has left the chat. chemdem has left the chat. [Paul] anybody? [Frostilicus] Paul, maybe you could try reading a book instead of making a backup copy of hate porn [theswitch] anyone wanna play supremacy online???????????????? [Erik_Rutins] Paul, please post in our support forum for WaW and we'll be happy to answer you. The easiest method is to burn it to CD. [FABIO2000] sure switch, what's your email? Frostilicus has left the chat. [Paul] Ok, thanks -- Erik. Frosty, I'm onyl into love porn, but thanks. [theswitch] infinityspace@hotmail.com [Erik_Rutins] I apologize to those of our customers who had to listen to the bizarre and sometimes offensive questions from whatever hate group chose to drop in to day. Thanks again for your patience, those that were here for the real chat. [kingprawn] kekekekeke! konichiwa! automman has left the chat. Paul has left the chat. [queserasera] T Thor: plz respond re: flashbacks [mobiustrip] Thor left [theswitch] fabio whats you forum identity? queserasera has left the chat. [Tzven] Erik, what are your feelings regarding Thor's military record? [Tzven] Do you believe the stories from the survivors? Tzven has left the chat. [kingprawn] if it was thor there'd be no survivors [theswitch] there are some real weirdos out there on the net eh [Erik_Rutins] That much is certain [Kapow] the stories are certain? FABIO2000 has left the chat. [Erik_Rutins] The weirdos are certain. Good bye. Erik_Rutins has left the chat. [theswitch] yea erik told you all hehehe [kingprawn] kekekeke! [kingprawn] I wanted to ask thor if I could Zerg Rush [Kapow] I wanted to know why the dark-skinned people (groth) are an inferior race in the game [theswitch] ok since thor is gone and erik is gone I guess theres not really anyone here worth talking too [kingprawn] but kapow, they have a path to power [kingprawn] via selling watermellons [Kapow] I think the four paths might signify the four arms of the swastika [tha_snazzle] joe lieberman are you planning a run in 2008 [theswitch] poor joe, I have much respect for you and your job here in the chat [Kapow] so what do people usually talk about in here [Kapow] is this a happening spot for hep cats [Kapow] do we get crunk [madmike] you're such a hipster dufus [kingprawn] did I say selling watermelons?
