Trains

Uifz · #1 09-02-2002, 11:57 PM

I would love to have a train that would go all over around for us slow poke 56kers, and 433 mhz. And good graphics train, not the one on 2k1, thats a cartoon train, horrible graphics!

How many trains were there in the Dark Ages? Or in medieval times? The last thing we want is another 2k1, wait till horses come out.

There was no magic, and all these different types of people never lived on one island...so what's your point?

Realism will not and cannot work in a game.

Realism, within limits, is what makes a game work.

I said within limits. Yeah, stretching the truth to include magic and gods-who-make-you-never-eat works. It works great. But 2k2 just doesn't have a "train" atmosphere, you know? I just want horses. With wagons. And NPCs driving horses pulling wagons who will give you a ride for X amount of silver.

I think this person just wanted a fast form of transportation....probably didn't consider what kind of transportation would be best....give the guy a break, will you? I agree....something to go around the world be nice....you say a wagon....maybe some freak who rides around on one letting people in...like a bunch of horses too...so it goes fast

Trains would not work on 2k2.. the tracks wouldn't line up correctly over the terrain anyway...

Hehe at least you posted an idea the 2nd time. Actually I like your wagon idea. That could be a good mode of transportation.

I can see it now, tons of people riding on wagons through Dustari.

Realism doesn't work in a game? I better tell Microsoft and those other simulation companys because Flight Simulator and Train Simulator can have no realism. It may not work in an RPG but in a game, say Medal Of Honour, yes.

Better idea have a horse drawn wagon come aroudn to every town and you can buy a ride for a few gold.

A few silver -- good grievin' gralats, everything's too expensive already. At least make RIDES cheap.

Instead wait untill like a kingdom technology system is setup.

So then like the Zormite Empire could come up with an invention that uses water to power wheels or something.

Let's find out a way to turn bomys into a form of energy we can use to power vehicles to transport us accross the world! Solve 2 problems at once! 6 birds...one bomy...or somethin like that...

Im not sure if you have notice but were just trying to make Graal2002 a game based on middle ages in a fantasy world. You know, dragons, knights in shinning armor, evil demons, wizards...etc...

So you see where the trains don't fit in? I think you should read about King Arthur or something and get an idea.

i still think plain old horses is the way to go

I'm a little off subject here, but are you actually saying that Medal of Honour is realistic? One man wins a war almost single-handedly, killing hundreds of people in the process! That ain't realism!
