Haree78: Thank u very much for your great mods - I like your additional races and this one very much! They give the game another level of imagination and strategy during my game play.

I just started a week ago to play this game - and the more I play and get into it, the more I get addicted to its quite deep game play and different strategies which may be choosen - its just great!

A question the 78 isn't your age - is it? I am 52 and thought I am already very old to play computer games - but I think I will still play at 80....should I make it...

Anyway thanks again and have a nice day [:)]

Nice! I may have to increase the pirate strength in my games to match their new fearsome appearance.

Excellent mod. I recommended it in my own mod thread, the only change I would probably do is swap out Mercenary and Raider, as, IMO, I feel that the skulls mounted on pikes probably fits the 'trying very hard to intimidate you' theme that raiders have always had in DW.

That is the brilliance of it. Smugglers are the only pirate type that would deliberately avoid violence whenever possible, shooting up the place has absolutly nothing to do with making money. That makes it very, very different from the other pirate types whom all require violence in some form and it is understandable why they are not trying to be as intimidating as the others.

I'm glad you appreciated my joke. Do you also know why his helmet is like that?
3 Screens inside lol.

Not quite my age yet, it's the year I was born, some guys steal my name in places so noone stole with the 78 yet [:D]

I suppose DW attracts a bit older crowd than most games, including strategies. I'm not sure why, but having been born in 1980 I don't feel particularly old around here, and that's kind of new...

Thanks Haree! Good work as always.

As to age, born in 1957 here. First computer game I played was a text based 'Dungeon' on a teletype terminal circa 1977... XYZZY Forever!
Bought my first desktop in 1977, (IMSAI 8080) and had many many others over the years.

Well CyclopsSlayer, you should well remember the Tandy 1000 and the game StarFlight: Trade Routes of the
Cloud Nebula by InterPlay then (My first initiation!)

Oh my god, I remember that word. I don't know if I can put it where it belongs but I would put it to a text adventure called "advent" in around 1983. One of my first computer games. But not the first, that was a game called "MRTIAN" on the universities wang main frame where my father worked. It was a space invaders game, all ASCII art. Oh those were good times. Must have been around 1980.

I even tried my hand at game development back then. It was a simple asteroids style game, where you flew horizontally through an asteroid field (of 'o's) dodged the roids and in a later version you even had a gun. The most fun part were the ASCII explosions... hehe. Fun times. So far away.
