This is for you SE. So you can jealousize yourself over the game. =P

Hahaha... I'll have to use that ability when I get the game, and take some screenshots.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

heh. cool

Of course, who the heck is proof reading that text? It's horrible. His "bear hands?" I'm sure that's possible, given the character and picture, but why doesn't hte picture show his hands made from bears. And the prose is awful.

I tried the demo of this and wasn't overly impressed with the gameplay. Let me say that RTS games are usually not my bag (baby). At one part in the mission I had to interrogate a prisoner. I had everything built I needed but couldn't get any of my lackeys to take the guy out of his cell and go the 10' to the torture chair.
I did like the graphics and the whole vibe of the game though. I thought it was hilarious that you have to build freezers to store the dead bodies in.

No, the ability he uses. Pendragon. I figured you'd get a kick out of it SE. =P

You couldn't interrigate the guy? It's really not that hard - you just need to put him in the cell, and tag him for interrigation. Worked for me.

yeah I did that for like 20 minutes and no one would come to get him. I even tried getting one of the Lt. flunkies to do it but no one would tak ethe guy out of his cell...so I just let him go and killed him.

Yeah, I'm having that same problem right now. I've moved things around, even put a time clock in the room so there'd be someone in there. Nothing. And don't worry, I've tagged her. Nothings worked. I even put the base of full red alert. Nothing.

I haven't taken a moment yet to read the article, but I think I saw 42 playing this once at our place. It looked fine, I guess, but the game it reminds me of the most was Dungeon Keeper 2. That game was cool, and from the little I saw of Evil Genius, Dungeon Keeper 2 had a significant edge on the humor side of things. Torturing faeries is fun to do.
