do you mean each stance has an equivalent attack by using the same controls, the attacks are just scripted to be moved differently?

I don't know if that would work. * scrachs chin with finger and thumb*
Try it out, if it works and it keeps a flow to the game, do it.

now, your power up idea. I will remind us all that as noobs / newbs we tend to mash the Mouse button (at least i did) over holding down the keys , those attacks were easily countered...

It may work, it kinda makes you relearn the controls a little and it helps noobs / newbs out a bit... I like it :twisted:

Also, sword breaking "When you use it a lot" is too bad-rpg-esque, swords will break when subjected to force on an object strong enough to break them, like armour.

Or something like that, I'm not David.
Ok, ok, its better if "swords will break when subjected to force on an object strong enough to break them" because its like STAR WARS but the lightsabers never break, but the electronic components can be destroyed

Swordbreaking tools have been used for centuries. The Japanese used a jitte or jutte, which means "ten-hand weapon" or a weapon with the power of ten hands. Police often used them against rambunctious samurai; they sure weren't going to duel with them, so they carried special tools to disarm them.

There was also a special dagger used in Western warfare called a "swordbreaker." It had notches to grip a sword, and could safely redirect the blade, and even break it if used properly.

Here's Turner using one.

Here's Turner with a swordbreaker and a special ornate jitte.

I have 2 new ideas
1) Big war mode: For example, is like a teammatch, teams with 20 rabbits fighting until the final. Like STAR WARS or the lord of the rings
2)Exp levels and habilities and moves

New idea.
When the enemy is merciful and he doesnt kill you, like lugaru 1 you fall inconsius, but after a while you wake up, but you are very weak

Instead of having five posts in a row, why not just edit the first one?

Please do and you need not quote an entire post. Also, almost none of those ideas are original. Come on man, how hard is it to read the past 70-something pages or search the forums?

Well, you can have two of anything, but you can only wield one at a time. The swords you were referring to were PhotoShopped in for the demo I was doing.

As mentioned elsewhere, it's my personal skin. I got the idea for the armored headcloth with the symbol from Naruto, but that's it.

Ok, here is a screenshot of World of Warcraft:

This, on the other hand, is a screenshot of Warcraft III, a real-time strategy game made by the same company in 2002:

I wish people would actually start role-playing in these MMORPGs…
That was the number one reason I quit, [...] if people like to RP as such, Play the old Pen and paper games with your buddies. I find them allot more rewarding. you can Imagine the world around your character[...]
So, the Warcraft universe is ok, which is pretty much the only thing they have in common.
True, that quote is from Jan 27, 2007, 5 weeks, 4 days ago, but Warcraft III was made 5 years ago.

If there was a new Indy game that would run on my Mac or if Heroes of Might and Magic V and Age of Empires III where compatible with PowerPCs, I'd gladly play them, instead.

Now, with that out of the way, what do you want to discuss? :)
