Fall From Heaven Adventure 4- 'Gotta Catch Em'€™ All!'€

[DaveV]

In answer to your original question, I got the impression this game may have been a little too "artificial" for me. I still enjoy playing the basic game, and keeping a lot of records seems to detract from that enjoyment. After reading Ranamar's report, though, I'm kind of wishing I gave it a shot.

I have some fond memories of Pokemon: we gave Silver to my son for Christmas when he was about 5 years old and couldn't even read, so he needed lots of help. I couldn't talk him into the proper min/max mindset, and he ended up with a team led by his super Furret. A year or two later, I got a Crystal game, which I played with my son's old Gameboy Color (he had moved up to a DS). It was a very well-designed game, enjoyable by a 5 year old and his overly analytical Dad.

Edit: Bob's original question: why didn't you play this game, in the other thread. Sigh.

[Ranamar]

Fun isn't it? :-p

A Hint to help is that Held Units can still board transportation...

As I discovered later, however, 0-movement units (like Guardian Vines), however, cannot.

Hmm would be interested in trying this but the original attachment is gone.

Huh, this is the only one I haven't played.

I guess my habit of never deleting anything pays off:

The Starting Save

Still got that habit of never deleting things? Went back to this thread to plagiarize my formatting for Adventure 7, realized the original save was sadly lost somewhere in the last nine years and three computer upgrades.

Maybe you still have it in an old mail you sent somewhere?

Egads, sure enough, had it attached to an ancient email.  Great idea!  


See attached, for anyone who wants to see my insane attempt to recreate the Pokemon experience in FFH.  I mean that literally, too; if the reactions preserved in this thread from 2011 don't already give the game away, the map is about as faithful a recreation of the Red / Blue Gen 1 over-world as I could manage with the Civ IV Worldbuilder.  I'm both impressed and a little appalled with the amount of free time I apparently had a decade ago.  



Note that the file will only load correctly with FFH (or MNAI renamed as FFH); at least on my PC, attempting to play with EitB causes a CTD.
