Damn Chuck's damn game. Making me all addicted. Course I cant really play when he isn't here. I just autocalculate everything. And I bought an Amozon Water theif...and she died in the first battle. The game is actually really cool, called Lords of Magic...kinda old. But you choose Warrior, Mage, or Theif. Almost all the mages are women. So, they balance the opposite sexs pretty well. Then you choose your element. Life, Death, Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Order, and Chaos Chuck and I together(well...me sitting on his lap telling him where to go and junk) have beaten Chaos, Life, Death, and are working on Order and Fire. Im water right now. They let you choose your lord's(the person you are) name. Chuck can't pick names for shit, so I've been using Anne McCaffery names. So far Ive used Moreta, Robinton, Jaxom, and Nirelka. He thinks I made them up. I didn't say anything to any contrary. So, you go and just...take over everything and gain an army. Each one has it's strengths and weaknesses. I only know about the Mages, so thats all Im going to explain. But like on Life, you can heal your party. On Fire you can cauterize the wounds. Stuff like that. On Water, when your fighting, your Mage can cast like...rain, so it weakens the bad guys. Or on I think Chaos, you can do Sands of Sleep, and that makes the people its on unmovable. But once you beat all of the other lords(lasty death, who is a bad ass and rides a giant bat) you win. You have to beat each element, then Death's element will be unlocked, then you can beat the game. Of course, the land that you rule kinda reflects the elemnet. Water is by lakes and stuff, with shell and dome buildings. Fire is in a volcano, in like a lava pit. Death is desert/marshlands. Air is snowy mountains. Earth is like a foresty mushoom thing(they are all short little knomes). Life is forest/grass lands. Order is hills and neatly trimmed plains. Chaos is desert. So if your like...water, and you go into Fire's place, you dont fight as well as you do normally. Ok...Ill stop rambling. EDIT: The puppies are six weeks old! And so adoreable. One looks like she always has her hackles up, but its just like...a ridge back. The other is a dainty little beauty. I bought them these Beanie Baby dog toys, and one is an octopuss, and she takes it by the head and drags it around all proudly, even though its bigger then her.
