It means gender neutral. As in, you can't really tell what gender it's supposed to be, assuming it has a gender.

:lolu:

It wouldn't be the first time a unit gets a "sex-change".

Heroes 3 Genies come to mind.

Unupgraded Genies are female.
Upgraded Genies are male.

yea.. but i think Ceres actually had a good point. aside from animals, how many female units are there in the game, anyway? like none in haven, same with necro, all but one in academy, none in fortress, a few in sylvan, one in inferno, and most in dungeon to balance it out.

maybe im digging to far, but does anyone else think this is a bit pro-male?

A lot of games are like that. There are some notable exceptions like Baldur's Gate...most of the non player characters that can join your party in that game are female.

But, for the most part, most games are pro-male.

You mean Dark Energy?

Um...well you must've patched the game then...because that was introduced with a later patch.

Anyway, DE points are in a shared pool. Necromancers use the points in this pool to revive Undead creatures after each battle. If I'm not mistaken, the more Necromancers you have, the more DE goes into the pool. Having Pillars of Bone also increases your DE. :)

If you run out of points...you have to wait until the next week to get more...and your Necromancy skill is as good as useless until then. :S

heres an interesting thought:

i just remembered reading the other day about highlights of the upcoming 50 years (when the world runs out of oil, when the global population maxes out, etc...) and i think they said that around 2020-something the US government releases all its information on the Kennedy assassination. that should be interesting to see what really happened, at least itll shut everyone up about conspiracies and all that other crap...


just cuz this is the random thoughts thread :D
