If one of the nameless ones above is yours, please let me know here so I can fix it. Thank you.
There are some awesome people in it, don't get me wrong, a lot of them my friends, but there is a sickening excess of people who are total %^$#*es, totally full of themselves, and think they're superior to everyone else in every possible way, even though they aren't. Plus, these egomaniacs show it by insulting and slandering all the other people whenever they can.
Also, they're all a grade lower than me. Makes me wonder, "Gosh, was I that big of a moron, or that egotistical, when I was their age?"
It's fun for the record, and was especially so today. I wasn't as bad as I would've expected with my minimal experience - well, aside from the two-dozen or so snowy faceplants.
Okay, so I finished the official designs for the Agents of Chaos fortress... They're very nice and clean, digitally made... These things took FOREVER.
Anywho, here's the basic view:
And here's the top view, showing all of the parts:
As you can see, the perts are helpfully numbered. Well, here's the key:
1. The Moat: A protective ditch surrounding the wall of the fort. Here it is pictured with its wooden stakes and water:
2. The Drawbridge: without the drawbridge down, enemies will have to swim through the treacherous moat, and is another layer to be destroyed when an opposng army tried to break through the doors.
4. Defense Towers: Towers near the gatehouse are to allow for two lines of projectile troops, one above the other, or one in the tower, one on the parapets. The one sin back serve a similar function.
5. Rahi Landing Pad: This is a provided landing area for the organization's flying creatures, and also a takeoff bay.
6. Watchtower: A Tower. For watching.
7. Barracks/Rahi kennels This low, long building houses both out organization's troops, but also our creatures, who are stored in both above-and-below-ground "stables."
8. The Keep: The Fort's main building, this large construction houses most of the important rooms. While the below graphic's rooms remain blank, his is just a floor-by-floor description.
A- The top level is entirely reserved for the Organization's elite ranks, Generals and Leaders. Their living quarters and war planning councils are on this floor.
B- The tall-ceilinged main level holds a mess hall, as well as the kitchens and food storages.
C- The basement is essentially a giant storage, where everything from weapons to emergency food are held.
D- The sub-basement is the prison level, with cell upon cell crammed in for maximum holding capabilities.
9. The Well: The fortress holds its own supply of water, in case of malicious water poisoning of external sources.
10. The Main Tower: Not only does this tall spire hold the Leader's Throne Chamber and their laboratories, but is also a key defense spot for anti-air attacks.
11. The Parapets: The fort's thick walls are the number one defense it has, and prove to be difficult to scale because of the sharp spines lodged on top.
Wow. So much has happened since this time one year ago. I was a BZPower lurker, obsessing over the pictures of the new Phantoka and wondering what it would be like to be a member. So, on an impulse two months later, I joined. I have never once regretted that decision.
Since then, I have racked up over 3000 posts, over 2000 profile views, and more friends then I had ever hoped to make here. These wonderful people have helped me, encouraged me, and humored me more times than I can remember, and every act of kindness deserves a tremendous thank-you, which has yet to be said...
