Game News The Age of Decadence Released

[JudasIscariot]

Vault Dweller any chance for ITS to release all the wallpapers, concept art and soundtrack as goodies?

At least on GOG, since that is were the true patriots live.

(I just noticed the soundtrack is in the game folder... but I'm pretty sure JudasIscariot would love to rename and tag it )

That soundtrack is probably not formatted for listening to outside the game. Not saying it's BADLY formatted but judging from my experience with in-game soundtracks there's a world of difference between the stuff you get in-game and the version made for listening outside the game Then again I haven't even looked at the game's music myself

 

[kaizoku]

Will this game ever be ported to OSX or Linux? Not everyone wants to suck Bill Gate$' cock.

You can play it in a windows XP SP3 VM.

That's what I'm doing.

You can play it in a windows XP SP3 VM.

That's what I'm doing.

Or just play it directly via Wine

 

[Elzair]

How well does it work now via Wine?

Sure, why not? I already sent bunch of art to GoG, not sure where it ended up (maybe the store?). Anyway, will ask them.

Ok, I’m tired of people saying retarded and irrelevant drivel about this game. Let’s talk about something that matters: who are the best sex partners in Age of Decadence? Spoilers ahead!

Spoiler

Lady Camilla

Ok, she is a credulous old widow, but there's many a good tune played on an old fiddle. Besides, she is a noble, live near the palace and her character model suggest that she has nice tities. 10/10 Marriage material.


Lady Lorenza Calani of House Calani

Hot, sophisticated and with noble blood. Word on the street is that all her five husbands died in unfortunate accidents in suspicious circumstances. Sounds great for one night stand if you take the proper precautions, such as carrying your knife and an antidote.


Anonymous killers hired by Lorenza

Deadly with daggers, they have a body in shape. And there are five of them! It is practically a harem.


Livia

My adorable pickpocket. Pretty and cunny, but too young. Sounds great for one night stand, though.


Darista – Assassins Guild master at Maadoran

Tough killer with scars and everything, controls the Assassin Guild with iron first. Hmm…10/10 marriage material


Lola – Levir’s loremaster

She is hot, mysterious and knowledgeable. I don’t know about you, but I appreciate women that read books and shit. 10/10 Marriage material


Azra, from Inferiae

Old, but knowledgeable and trustworthy. She can even prepare acid vials and shit. 10/10 marriage material.


Claudia

Tough bitch. Works for Hector, the commie. Rough woman always give me the hard-on. Sounds great for one night stand.

Elhoim, Kos_Koa and Vault Dweller
Can either of you reveal where did you get these portraits from? Are they artist's imaginations (or modified portraits of some people you found on a net, e.g. Strabos looks like John Goodman), did you hire some chicks, are these your acquaintances or is there a chick database where you can pay for a portrait that I don't know of?

 

[Vault Dweller]

Artist imagination with some references. For example, Strabos is a guy I used to work for, who looked like Goodman. A fucking bear of a man with quite a temper and low tolerance of failure. I'm 6'4 but he dwarfed me. Had hands like mittens. He was a VP of Operations; worked his way up through strength of character and decisiveness. Once he set his sights on something there was no stopping him.

Claudia is inspired by a crazy zealot I've once met. She had these grey, steel eyes and there was fucking murder there. Her belief that the world was unjust and had to be changed, violently if necessary, was all that mattered to her. She would die for her beliefs (or kill others). A genuinely scary (but good looking) person.

I've met a lot of characters over the last two decades (yes, including Miltiades), so it was easy to conjure them when I needed a particular type.

 

[Black]

including Miltiades

Do tell.

 

[Vault Dweller]

An Irish gentleman who could sell you a trashcan full of garbage and make you feel like you struck quite a bargain. He had crazy eyes, especially when drunk, and he firmly rejected the concept of personal responsibility or regret for any wrongdoings, which were quite numerous (especially when drunk). He always had this awesome scheme going and he had 2-3 more ready to go when the current "it can't go wrong" scheme would go wrong.

I bet the sex was great though.

 

[Black]

An Irish

Oh, that explains everything!

 

[Irenaeus II]

Who is the best waifu of AoD?

I told you to make that into a thread in the appropriate forum. It's amusing.

 

[TheEntitledOne]

You're waifu a shit.

 

[JarlFrank]

Vault Dweller, could it be there's a choice without a consequence in the game?

Spoiler

Playing the assassin questline. In Maadoran, in the quest where you have to get the treasure from the thieves, I gave my word to the thief boss that I'd help him out when he needs me. Shortly before the last quest, I get summoned by him and he tells me to assassinate Maadoran's ruler, the one my guild is serving. He said he'll make sure I get fucked if I refuse. Well, I told my boss about that plan and broke my word, inciting the wrath of the thief boss.

Nothing happened, though. I just went on to Ganezzar and haven't heard anything from the thieves since then. So, apparently he doesn't try to fuck me up for fucking him over at all?

 

[Vault Dweller]

Reputation-based ambushes will be added in the upcoming updates.

 

[Lurker King]

Oh, boy, this thread delivers. Ancient ones posting after 10 years, rape threats because of spoilers, people posting drunk and VD revealing that there is a real Miltiades out there, doing damage to the world! 10/10, would read again.

I will think about it.

 

[Lurker King]

Is there any chance of adding a proper ending involving Miltiades? It seems like the logical consequence of his ambition with the player's help. Miltiades as an emperor… think about it. It would be even better than the ascension ending and I bet that everyone would love this.

Half of the time I wanted to kill the bastard, the other half I wanted to see what he'd do next and whether the universe would remain indifferent (it did).

I wanted to but couldn't make it work. Maybe I'll try again in a month or so.

 

[Elhoim]

I wanted to ask about team behind AoD over the years.
IIRC at the beggining ( 2004 )team consisted of VD, Ivan and Nick, about 2008? joined Elhoim, when Mazin and Eugene joined?

Vault Dweller Elhoim

I started in 2006/2007.

[likaq]

Ivan was a team member from the beginning?

 

[Vault Dweller]

Yes. Mazin first contacted me in 2007 and started working on the portraits in 2009, if memory serves me right. Eugene started working on DS first, then migrated to us when DS was released.

Wow those early graphics and GUI are pretty jarring compared to the final product.

I play as a merchant, and when I get to where I should play against

Spoiler

Mercato to get him to owe the guild money i loose even though I have 9 in intelligence. Does this quest really need 10 in intelligence? or is it just to make some fast buck? Is streetwise/dexterity the only way to get it to work? I can complete the quest via Cado

You can complete it after failing dex+streetwise if you have a bit of charisma, if you have high trading and persuasion. 10 int opens up some threatening options plus a fuckload of money.

 

[agris]

Elhoim will you enable selection of dialogue options using the numpad? 1-9 alphanumeric works, but not the number pad.
