1.I've played Civilization Call to power. You start out with no cars no electicity or an micanicle stuff like in Cythera.But eventually they get into space stuff.Will that ever happen in Cythera?

2.Is it posible to email games to each other so if you are stuck then you can get help?Because you can do that in the Ferazels Wand game.

------------------

1) It's a possibility, but not probable. Some might say that Alaric brought with him stability. Others would call it stagnation. No real advances in anything have been made in the past five centuries. Magical means might one day provide those devices, but high technology is far in the future, if it's there at all.

2) Yes, it's possible.

Thanks.I remembered a question I wanted to ask.Do we need to make another character info topic because the last 2 are pretty old?

------------------

It'd be ok to bring them back.

And, of course, there is no proof there is such a thing as "space" in Cythera. Though I wouldn't say things were stagnant for five centuries - a great deal of cultural progress was made, as well as some technical ones due to the influence of magic.

Use the original one. Its not meant to stay at the top of the topic list for months, and is one of the few topics that can be brought back safely. (without a karma penalty - though I don't think we've ever had a problem with old topics so far)

Its also easier for us if all of our characters are in one topic. Only bring back the topic if you have a character to add though, please.

I would like to add a character. I call it, "The Bar Support". What do you think?

And so the problem remained; lots of people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they had all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that the trees had been a bad move and that no one should ever have left the oceans. - Douglass Adams

Thanks.I remembered another question.What is ace and how do I get it?

------------------

Ace is an editor similiar to resedit, exept it works directly with the game, in cythera you can edit your training points, strength/mind/reflex (although they change back once you attack something unless you've actually learned them), mana points (same as before), health points (same as before), so that's how it's possible to learn every skill in the game, i've got all but weaving and fishing myself (never bothered with those).
Not sure where it's available, just use a search engine and look for "Ace and Games"

It also works for both the EVs amongst other things.

I wouldn't recommend getting it unless you've already beat the game.

I found ace,down loaded it, and when I clicked on it a sign come up that said it could not locate the stuffit expander.The stuffit expander was on the desktop so I don't know why it couldn't find it.Then I went into the stuffit expander and click on ace and expand.Nothing happened.I tried it again.Nothing happened.So I down loaded a new stuffit expander.I clicked on ace again and the same sign appeared.So then I clicked on the new stuffit expander.I clicked on ace and expand.Nothing happened.I need help.How do I get ace?

------------------

Hmmm....
I really wouldn't know how to help you in this unless I was standing right behind you instructing you with what to do.


1) Download Ace in it's Binhex format (.hqx)
2) Use stuffit (make sure you have the most up to date version from [url="http://"http://www.aladdinsys.com"]www.aladdinsys.com[/url] I think)
to decode it into a .sit format (should happen automatically right after it's downloaded)
3) Open stuffit and drag down to expand, it should give you a list of things, go to the desktop and select the file.
4) Open the folder named Ace 1.0.4 (I think) inside there should be an application with a clock for an icon.
5) Open the application, go to the modules menu and drag down to cythera.
6) Go to the file menu and drag down to open, find one of your saved games and open it.
7) You can now edit the things I mentioned above (I would only recommend doing training points, as the rest reset after you hit something)
