Darkness Inside

I am still playing Battle of Wesnoth.
Addictive and difficult to master. It has some strategy in it as well as some basic rules. My most experienced Ghast has 123 Hp, my Spectre is at 53 Hp, Nightgaunt at 50 Hp, and one of my sorcerer has 92 Hp. But you can tell that we are in deep trouble. It's the 19th turn and the Orcs are still deploying units.

I remember playing this a few years ago. Ubuntu was an almost new creation, you were seeing it everywhere. It promised of a better future for computers, a brighter place for free software, but it stalled.

On that particular moment, I was having trouble with my own computer. I probably got it inside the Pirate Bay without protection. A proper analogy of this is to put a famished white skinny boy into a maximum security mexican prison... he is going to get his ass raped.

I decided to do the unthinkable, I ditched windows and installed a brand new copy of Ubuntu. I then started tried to do everything into this new ambient. Have you ever tried out Libre Office? LaTex? Honestly, I didn't last long. At that time, Dell got an excellent support for their former clients, they got me a brand new copy of Windows.

Linux has some nice features, the version that I used, came with a torrent downloader, which was pretty neat, and Libre Office has recently evolved to have great features, as I did say in a previous post, but you need to have a certain expertise on it to really be proficient on it.

There are many things that are not supported by Linux, and it sometimes seems like a nightmare to find the appropriate solution for your unique distribution.

And we are getting off topic, again...

Ubuntu back then, was also trying to introduce some games of its own. One of such games was Battle for Wesnoth. As I was stating before, it's a very simple game, and it has full support from its creators as well as many contributors. You can even make your own faction if you decide to. The game is on Steam for free, I recommend you to check it out.

Battle for Wesnoth has the Drakes/Saurians and you can also play as the necromancers. There's a campaign about a necromancer, the end of that campaign is the so called "endless night". You play again and again against Orcs, Elves, Humans, and Dwarves. Each of your creatures in the game can evolve to a certain point, so this campaign is great to keep on evolving your creatures. It's not an easy task. You don't have any money, while the computer keeps on creating new units; however, you are master of the saving and loading of games, tell me what can beat that?

I'm talking about this game, because I took many things from here, the Saurians, the barbaric and some times mercenary nature of Orcs, and the treacherous and ambitious side of us humans. I really hope you can take some moment to read my book, it's really not that bad, I'm really beating that you are going to like it.

And here... my latest creation, and part of my book:

"One dead Saurian lying on the ground started to be reanimated, The unholy spawn was pitifully fighting for a second life, violent spasms shacked its mutilated body, his dead lungs started working again, but his blood became pitch black"

 See you around, strangers ^.^

This was going to be the Abyector... a word that doesn't exist in English, and was not in my vocabulary... but Abyecto in Spanish does exist and it basically means: someone that is really a scumbag... and since it doesn't exist in English, I will now baptize this cool creation of mine as an Abyector ©. Why not? this is my world, this is my realm.  And it is funny how sometimes words come to you... I was going to save this guy in Krita , but I lacked its name... and my inner voice told me: Why not Abyector? and I was like... what the fuck is an Abyector? what does that even mean? A little search with my friend, Mr. Google, and I mistook the first result which was in Spanish... so... a happy mistake. Anyway... I was thinking of introducing the machines on the second volume of my saga: a full robot armada, besieging our magical and strange world. I even wrote the chapter for it, but I decided to wait... there will be robots, but just small killing squads terrorizin...

Glider V.2.

This is the Saurian glider , it is slightly modified from the previous one , but this is what I love about engineering; the beauty of precision. I learnt Autocad a long time ago, learning inventor is entirely something else, and I still prefer Autocad for doing 3D models, Inventor requires lots of practice and has lots of bugs; nonetheless, it has plenty of advantages over Autocad. Anyway, we are not here to discuss about Inventor or Autocad, the glider is a fighter for the Saurian Empire . These specific crafts have a huge disk on the middle which allow them to ascend or descend in a quickly matter of time (they use centrifugal force). Their wings are just to stabilize them on flight but essentially their way of moving is because of this central disk... and I still need to imagine about the rest of the saurian air/space vessels and the rest of the congregation , i.e. the ones commanded by the Sergovnian , the Mourasam's (on book 2), and about the machine's as...

The real Narco Mexico

These are some of the different classes of Saurians . The Trackers have enhanced senses of smelling, hearing, and seeing. They are widely used in Saurian patrols to pursue or locate their enemies.  Changelings can "transform" into their enemies (provided, these don't have great smelling senses, or magical traps). Changelings are used as infiltrators; their job is to sow panic and chaos behind enemy ranks. Fighters or Soldiers tend to be shorter, bulkier, but stronger. They can't move swiftly as the previous classes, instead, they are fighting masters, and are the most resilient of them. They are an important faction in my book: Magika Scientifica B1: Tainted Sun   As you can see, I did use some delimiting line to mark them... it is really hard to just drop that thin black line... so... mea culpa, mea culpa. By the way! Happy holidays and etcetera . The real great thing about these holidays is that the family gets together, and you can infect ot...
