Is it worth downloading?

[Death42]

Well, I just got my computer upgraded so I would like to test it perpormance (correct me if the spelling is wrong). I have stop playing E:BFD for almost a year, If I remember correctly, the last mod I play is KH (the first release), with this new computer of mine, I have choose to test the mod called "In The Destroyer Grip", well, its a big download (14.80 MB), should I download it or not?

Thanks! :)

[Apollyon]

well just go ahead and read my sig if you want my opinion.

That's a definite "yes" by the way. ;)

[Death42]

Well, okaydokey, I just started downloading the mod. Apoll... I mean, Misanthropic Mage, what does your mod do?, the only reason I'm asking if the mod is worth download is, Its has a very good rating in Dune Editing and the additional patch give it a much higher rating, anyway, what does this mod do? and do this mod has any unique features to keep the players entertain for a while?. I hope you don't mind answering these questions ;D.

Thanks!

[Apollyon]

No problem. =)

It replaces all sides and all subhouses and runs along a completely different plot set in a different universe. There are loads of new unit textures and the buildings are retextured. There are many edited XBF models (units etc). It is, like I said, the most advanced mod yet. The story is long and a tad complicated. I think I posted it in the original thread so you can check that if you want more info.

If you want to know anything else like side specifics, just ask. =)

[Death42]

But of course my friend!, can you please tell me more about this mod?, I'll be on-line for a while.

Thanks!

EDIT:Ahh... we have a problem, I just finish downloading the mod and I got the file called "619" and its not zip file nor a winrar file. A'm I just going to put this file in the Emperor folder?

[Apollyon]

well, I need to go for half an hour or so and then I'll be back.

Anyway.

The sides:

The kulchatah are fierce warriors who rely on close combat heavily. They are incredibly tough and can work themselves into such a frenzy that they become even more powerful if hurt!

The Tempest are a bizarre Hive mind race of creatures that rely on incredibly fast healing abilities and amazing adaptability to succeed. All of their units regenerate and units with chevrons can return to the production facility to add genetic data to the spawn.

The Aspedos are physically frail but excellent scientists. They're technology is rivaled by none and theyre weapons are fearsome. They employ the use of personal shields on infantry and larger models on vehicles to protect them from attack. They're units are fast and powerful.

Subhouses:

Depending on what main race you choose, the units you gain from the subhouses differs.

>FieldCraft: Gives units that specialise in stealth and covert ops.

>Duplication: Units that are either numerous or can create copies of themselves and other units.

>Energy: Units that rely on almost pure energy to make their attacks.

>Gift of the Creator: The creator of the race (story-linked) grants a boon to its chosen race. This gifted unit is a master of battle.

>Psionics: Units that specialise in Telepathic attacks.

Hope this helps. I'll be back later =).

[Death42]

Wow... well, as I tell, about the 619 problem, or do I have re-download the file again?. I'll just rest and I just hope you finish this problem ASAP. See ya later!.

Thanks!

[Apollyon]

do you mean 00000409.016?

I dont quite understand.

[Death42]

Darn, I just solve the problem, the reason I get this 619 file, because, I downloaded the wrong file. don't worry about it, it just another download. Well, I'm just going to download the mod now using Misanthropic Mage's sig. I just hope everything is okay :).

[Apollyon]

Remember to post your comments here =).

[Death42]

Will do 8).

[vidiware]

Download my mod too, The Shadow of Arrakis...

It have a terrible ration, only because some cheaters had to make it a 1 rating...

And try my chocolate mod... its well worth the small download time!!!!

[Edric O]

Don't forget about Kwisatz Haderach 2... :)

Sure, it's pretty old by now, but it's a classic. And since you played the first version, it would be a shame to miss the highly improved sequel. ;)

i agree, vidi's mod was much better than 7 i voted a 9 i think. you can't listen to some of those ratings because some people are biased to certain mods.

[Death42]

I'm sorry guys for not showing up in this forum in the past few days, just have a little arguement with my Dad, well, it's over now, and I have download the mod of Misanthropic Mage and played it, it is good, I'm always using the kulchatah, I really like their set of units, but damn!, I'm having a hard time against the Aspedos, those damn shield is always protecting them, but not only that, those damn flying scout always see my armies heading toward their base, before we can get to their base, they are always intercepting my in-coming armies and a HUGE battle always occured, and believe or not, the worm, poor worm, always dying in the middle of battle beetween our armies, and their armies.

Good job for this fantastic mod, and even its a little late, I'm rating this mod a perfect 10!!!.

To tell you the truth Edric O, I already download KH 2, I just forgot that I have downloaded this mod already and played it, and yes, your correct, this mod is trully a classic and I believe, I don't have to add a comment to that I think.

Don't worry VidiWare, your mod is next on th list, after that, Frodo's Shadow of Arrakis, but HEY!, what does the chocolate mod do?, but before that, I'm just going to fix some minor problems in my life, don't worry, it will not take long. Hope you don't mind guys.

Well, sorry guys for not showing in time, but don't worry, I going to keep in touch with you guys as soon as I can. (Damn... chocolate, getting hungry just by reading it, oh well, I'm just going to eat and finish this starvation of mine)

Thanks!

EDIT:Hey, what happened appolyon?, just a while ago, you are Misanthropic Mage, and now, you are appolyon again, get real!.

[Frodo]

lol, i didn't make the shadows of arrakis, that was vidi ;)

[Death42]

Sorry, I just get a little confused, maybe because of my problems now.

[Apollyon]

I was misanthropic mage for about 2 days about 1 month ago!

[vidiware]

hi i made the shadow over arrakis and the chocolate...

the chocolate does only change the textures... and makes your team taste like chocolate, nougat and caramel... New logos too. Made by me and Jacob Douds.

We made this during texture experimenting...

[alphabeta4000]

if u want some old antiques download mine lol

[Inoculator9]

Give mine a shot too ;)

[razor]

well i've tried this mod, after all i expected probably to much

becouse its a great try butt i think the units are not well balanced and there could be much more improvements be

[Inoculator9]

Two things:

1. You might have not had it on the appropriate graphics settings.

2. I agree, some of the units were poorly balanced.

o sure, it was nice to try and play, i almost thought it was a tc (total conversion) but for example :

there was just 1 infanty man in the first house (cant remember wichone)

green i thought ::)

at the good side, there must be many effort put into this mod.

and it was a whole new look and sure i was emazed , even a hour or so 8)

[Inoculator9]

I don't know which house you are talking about, but that isn't the case with any of them.
