What I love aout Taranaich is that you can ask him any question about the mod and he'll come back with a logical, playable, exciting, and authentic response, always grounded in the original REH stories, but also focusing on providing unique and challenging gameplay -- in what other mod could you field an ancient Greek phalanx against a medieval Crusader army?
Awhile back I made an off-handed remark about elephants, and he responded with a thousand word essay charting out the various giant prehistoric monstrosities that would populate Hyboria, which factions would make use of them, and how many poor bastages they would trample on the field of battle. This guy knows his stuff.
And when he says this --
-- well that's an invitation to play a Stygian campaign if I ever heard one...When a faction's magic is sufficiently advanced, however... well, then it ceases to be a tool, and becomes a different level of reality, one that no earthly force could counter.
