Title: Just 1 city?
Post by: Gowalo on December 22, 2004, 02:10:55 pm
I\'m new, but in CB, will it be only 1 city and dungeons underneath?

Maybe. Maybe not. Can\'t tell you that, because it\'s classified information.

That is also classified information, I\'m afraid. If you\'re a CB tester, you\'ve agreed to the NDA, thus you can\'t talk about any of the CB contents.

They have a Non-Discolsure-Agreement on whats in CB? wow, who would have thought?  I didnt think that it had that much stuff they were trying to keep a secret.?  Ahh well all will be revealed when CB comes out anyway, i suppose so it dosnt really matter..

I know :)

But Luca is still very secretive about anything that hasn\'t been published, even though I can\'t see the reason for it to be -that- much of a secret. :)

Although... There is a screenshot of the Plaza in the news somewhere.

Edit: Here it is. By the way, that screenshot was taken by me, and it\'s a lot prettier than the screenshots Moogie has taken. ;)

hmmm they\'ve added a funky garden texture around some of the houses and changed the height of the area around the tavern...

**tells himself to stop over-analysing the picture and just wait until the thing is released**

and well done for the pic :)

There is just one city Yliakum, with all of it\'s levels.  At least that is what the setting on the main site said.  Now since this is one huge city there might be central pockets that have names in them selves that might be considered cities of there own.  Then there will be what is behind the bronze doors which I guess will be considered the \'wilderness\' once enough of the game is completed for them to be included.

Now since by CB I doubt that they will even have one completed level of Yliakum, so it really does not matter much now.  They might even revise the story, but if they don\'t then one city is all I believe there will be; that is unless the lost Lemur city is found, or other cities found :)

[Edit] Well ok this is all wrong then and should be agnored, just thought that the stuff on the main page might be correct, I mean were else am I to get reliable information ;) [/Edit]

Post by: Crj on December 22, 2004, 07:02:53 pm
No thats a lie! There isnt just one city. The stuff on the setting page is realy old. Yliakum isnt a city, its the stalactite.

*whispers* You can find some hints on SF and not only...

:P I didn\'t know that you and Talad were on first name terms now ;) ;)

And to answer the main question... yes there\'s more than hydlaa and the dungeon. You can see for yourself in the other screenshots of the magicshop, forest path and deathrealm. :)

No, their is about 3 cities, and DR the Death Realm. :)

Most likely the testers haven\'t seen everything that\'s going to be in CB. :) Just think of the satement:

From the news page
Apart from that we are progressing in adding content to the game. All the basic features we wanted in are ready, but we miss some more quests and npcs to have the tech demo more playable. Those will be added in the next days.


Therefore, they might have added the content that is required to ensure reliable testing, but not more.
Furthermore, there will be updates, which means that there will be more content coming in after the initial release. :)

Indeed, but it would look better if you took that picture from a rooftop and were looking down on Hydlaa.  :P
Well Im pretty sure there will be another town based on what the screenshots show us.

If the devs did what they said they would do there will be two cities. The old one and the enki city.

Lol. If you are next time again testing Kix......maybe test some more, then only the DragonAle at Kada\'s Taverne :P

Btw.....hope they have two tavernes instead of a seccond city ;) (and maybe a seccond temple special for Talad.
I\'m not into that praying stuff (dwarfs don\'t need that, we are strong enhough). but I love to pray to Talad, for releasing CB :)

We\'ve seen or will see just about everything that\'ll be in initial release. But yes, CB will have more content patched after release, building upto the SB release.

My theory is there should be at least one other town/city or at least a small village. For a start, there was talk about the Enki city, and also there is a \'forest path\' Paths usually lead somewhere, as I think it would be kind of pointless if it just ended at a dead end in the middle of a forest.

And there is definetly a death realm, yeah :)

Well it could be a circular path that just comes back around to the main city..... and also theres a magic shop, maybe it leads to there.  But i think you\'re correct about the Enki city, im pretty sure there will be another place, at least a village.
