[Grunker]

Sadly, as far as I'm aware, the days of professors as objects of forbidden desire seems to be gone, or at least in a slump.

You teach the wrong kids

 

[OSK]

Her lord and master backed this on Kickstarter, she wouldn't give it an objective review.

Why is Sawyer's name before mine!?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Is it Saint Proverbius that's doing the review?

lol, no, it's not Roguey. We have a very poster working on it.

We do? I mean, I like the man, but ?

Since when did contributing reviewers become some secret you have to vaguely hint about instead of just saying who it is?

It's ironyuri

 

[Roguey]

Roguey is working on it now.

I'm not interested in games about white imperialism. I'm glad they apparently did a good job though.

Just tell yourself they're "Hispanic". :patriot:

White hispanics are no different from other whiteys as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, we did. Those natives never had a chance.

Are you still butthurt about the Opium Wars?

 

[felipepepe]

Since the game will have multiple campaigns, they should add one on the portuguese Bandeirantes raping Brazil, that would be really cool.

Boy, I can't wait to write about this noble people and

 

[DeepOcean]

One thing you can say about the Bandeirantes is that they weren't colossal faggots like the spanish and english, they didn't had any objection in fucking native pussies.

 

[felipepepe]

And the stories are cool... Bartolomeu Bueno da Silva was a Bandeirante that made fame for intimidating natives with fire; he took a bowl of alchool and set it on fire, saying it was water, and that he would set all the rivers on fire if they didn't help him find gold. When he died, his son took over his name, and the natives believe he was a immortal devil of fire and name him "Anhanguera" (The Old Devil).

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Not a Banderiante proper, but his story is pretty cool too. Sounds like he had a bit of a codexian personality as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Fawcett

Lt. Colonel Percival Harrison Fawcett (18 August 1867 – in or after 1925) was a British artillery officer, archaeologist and South American explorer. Along with his eldest son, Fawcett disappeared under unknown circumstances in 1925 during an expedition to find "Z" – his name for an ancient lost city, which he (in all likelihood, accurately) believed to be El Dorado, in the uncharted jungles of Brazil. John Hemming, the Canadian explorer and historian of the Brazilian Indians, declared Fawcett a “Nietzschean explorer” spouting “eugenic gibberish”, although the writer David Grann also believes that Fawcett exhibited enlightened traits.

Awesome story. I enjoy this guy, too....We need a New Mexico campaign:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estevanico

More detail at the NM Historical society

Estevanico (c. 1500–1539), born in Morocco, was the first known person born in Africa to have arrived in the present-day continental United States. He is known by many different names, common are Esteban de Dorantes, Estebanico and Esteban the Moor. Enslaved as a youth by the Portuguese, he was sold to a Spanish nobleman and taken in 1527 on the Spanish Narváez expedition. He was one of four survivors among the 600 men who started, and traveled for eight years with Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, Andrés Dorantes de Carranza, and Alonso del Castillo Maldonado across northern New Spain (present-day U.S. Southwest and northern Mexico), before they reached Spanish forces in Mexico City in 1536.

Later Estevanico served as the main guide for a return expedition to the Southwest, where he was killed in the Zuni city of Hawikuh in 1539.

A domesticated negro who gets cocky and is killed by the injuns when demanding wealth and women. Truly an inspiration for the ages

 

[Black]

Why am I being forced to play as Spaniards, the spics of EU?!

 

[May God Gently Caress You]

Then, BitComposer was actually just a distributor? The name reminded me how JA: BiA ended up that I refrained myself from joining JA Kickstarter.

As for the game itself, I'd wait till some bugs are cleared. I don't have time for gaming atm, anyway. I'm not a pre-order/day one purchase person after all.

[Disgruntled]

The premise is interesting. However Ive already spent too many shekels this month and cant splurge $18 on a whim.
How many hours does it last for an average run-through?
Is there enough re-playability to warrant more than a couple after?

 

[Avonaeon]

I'd say a run through can last between 25-40 hours depending on how much you explore.

Also, just want to clear up that the AI does in fact use the exact same ruleset as the player.

 

[Eyeball]

Just out of interest: Have you chaps found it to be equally plausible playing a peaceful diplohippie or a more traditional "murder the redskins!" conquistador? The game seems to want to direct you towards diplohippiedom, even giving you a native guide and all to begin with.

As for the game: excellent idea, not too keen on the micromanagement involving that many party members or the camping screen. Random events and encounters during camping are neat, though. All in all, not too excited about the game. I seem to get lost doing pointless sidetrackery a lot of the time, the World is somewhat bland and samey jungle vista and the combat reminds me too much of King's Bounty, a game I hated for not being HOMM.

Dunno, just can't get that worked up about this game, try as I might.

 

[IDtenT]

I played this a bit, quite fun. The performance is however pretty laughable - almost left feeling like you're playing a flash game. The combat is difficult but rewarding, but I'm having trouble with healing - so my next party composition will be better. Speaking of, is there no way to heal at a settlement?

What are you talking about? Combat is unavoidable.

 

[Eyeball]

Well you DO tend to get the choice between "massacre the pagans!" or "respect their customs and kiss their babies" when you run into a camp of injuns. Just doesn't seem to be worth the effort if you opt to kill and loot their shitty grass huts.

But what do I know, I played it like an hour or so.

 

[Disgruntled]

Well, I folded and bought the thing. 25-40 hours of incline sounds good for such a small studio.
If it sucks I blame the codex.
