Hello everyone! Your favorite fedibirdy is back over here on thesocial.zone!
My main area of interest is gaming- particularly #retrogaming. I adore the #msdos era up through the early 00s. Games like DooM, Duke3D, Quake, EverQuest, and Starsiege Tribes.
#Retrocomputing and #retrotech bring me so much joy. As I've aged I find myself stereotypically looking back to my childhood and missing it immensely. I was quite the nerd falling in love with computers the moment I could connect to local BBS on my mom's work PC. I put that i386 9600baud Hayes machine through its paces.
#Horror is another love of mine. Every week I watch at least one horror film, and I never grow tired of them. It's the only film genre I continuously am excited for.
And, of course, #birds! These precious animals mean the world to me. They bring me peace and happiness just simply watching them from my living room window. Ever since a pair of sparrows nested in my garage many years ago have I been enamored with them.
The construction and repair units in Waterworld are static, while the harvesting units are mobile. This is a reversal of roles compared to The Polar Expedition, and gives players of this campaign some new strategies to experiment with. #barrenplanet#ibmpc#msdos#cga
The Port is a static unit found on the coast of the numerous islands that pierce Dalen's oceans. The port has facilities to build and repair other units. It has little of its own defence, and needs protecting from attack by other units. #barrenplanet#ibmpc#msdos#cga
Mining boats are as important as the Ports: they sail out to the crystal nodes and harvest the resources. Since they're mobile, they can retreat from attack. They are small enough to venture near the sandbanks where other ships would run aground. #barrenplanet#ibmpc#msdos#cga
Hoverbugs, the small anti-gravity combat vehicles familiar from earlier campaigns, are present here on Dalen. They can hover over land or shallow water, but are not stable enough to cope with the rolling waves of the deeper ocean. #barrenplanet#ibmpc#msdos#cga
Air Fighters are another unit brought over from Dapra. They can fly over anything except volcanoes, whose eruptions are too dangerous for airborne traffic to venture near. Air Fighters have a longer attack range than Hoverbugs or Ports. #barrenplanet#ibmpc#msdos#cga
Daemons are spirits of the underworld, the strongest monster in the game. Blades bounce off them, so defeat them with scrolls or the magic wand. #ossuary#ibmpc#msdos#cga
