In my version, I expanded on the idea of the demons that show up when you go astral or ethereal. They also come in after about a day to repair damage to the tomb and reset (most) traps. Resetting the traps is mostly a curiosity, since the players know how they work the second time. But they may actually run into the demons themselves who would not like to be disturbed in their work. That can add an element of danger and dissuade the players from wasting time. Of course they can just rest outside of the tomb, as long as they have actually found the way out.

Very interesting post. My group is in the tomb right now, playing Pathfinder 2 and using The Alexandrian's version.

The time wasting aspect is definitely visible, and that it's about real-world time and not in-game time. There is nothing stopping you from calling it a day after an in-game hour of non-stop spellcasting and coming back tomorrow.

Another aspect which made a huge difference is the capacity for regenerating HP. There was very limited regeneration in 1e, whereas in Pathfinder, if you're not under time pressure, you can heal back up to full indefinitely. I have tried to give the traps additional effects beyond HP loss.

For that matter, there is nothing wrong with doing this the first time around.

I have very limited time to play, so I just edited the save file to give me a bunch of mercer spheres because collecting them isn't what I want to be doing in the game, it's building a factory.

Play the game how you want, the fun police won't stop you.

Ich benutze diesen Thread seit ca. 2007. Lass die Hardware Enthusiasten unter sich fachsimpeln und nutze deren Ergebnis. Habe selbst mehrmals einen Rechner auf Basis dieser Empfehlung gebaut und der Thread hat mich noch nicht fehlgeleitet. Ist eine echte Institution.

What is the purpose of the elevated liquid storage after the water extractors?

Using this opportunity to plug https://github.com/ihhub/fheroes2

It's the open source reimplementation of HoMM2. It's fully playable, although the reimplemented AI plays much, much smarter than the original, which can be an upside or a downside for you.

There is also an android version, it works great on a tablet!

I've seen some different methods on how to achieve curves, do you have a tutorial for the one you use?

[–] Scaatis 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Do you have a mod to build the curves or just lots of blueprints?

This may not be true. From the German Wikipedia article (translation by Google):

However, he did not publicly criticise the anti-Semitic acts of violence. Foreign newspapers reported that Wilhelm had declared that he was "ashamed to be a German for the first time in his life". The historian Stephan Malinowski describes the interview in which this statement is said to have been made as a fake and refers to several denials by the ex-emperor.

You're also missing French resistance Janeway from VOY: Killing Game and Borg Janeway from VOY: Unimatrix Zero Part 2

Also, obviously Living Witness mustache-twirlingly evil Janeway is the best.
