an update – Hammr level 35 hero achieved his Russian Temple 25th April 2012 Australian time!
Well finally decided to go and check out Russian Godville and boy its been fun! whilst it is hard to understand the language without translating you can get the gist of the dialog – take this for example for an unsuccessful dig – 09:45: С такой богиней нужно было не в герои идти, а в старатели.
See the last word – yep – crap – dug up crap! lol
So lets recap on the progress with the most current first! 15 Feb and nearly 42% complete and things have slowed up considerably! loving the boss monsters and had a skirmish where I had the woolly ear of another hero as a trophy! Opened a gift of fate to see what dastardly evil was inside – bamboo under the finger nails? Acid in the eye? Nope – cotton in the ears!
the hero here in GV has also demonstrated extreme bouts of laziness where, at the 2nd milestone he had to return to town, he mounted his pet – game words not mine! – and rode him to the Earthly News – now THAT my friends is classic behaviour of our heroes!
i will post more on the temple progress and fun observations in Russian Godville – highlight of the day today – reaching the dizzy heights of position 24,803 on the gladiator pantheon!
this game never fails to put a smile on my dial!
so today 12th Jan 2012 9.8% completion and 20,389 on gladiatorship- a long way to go. the commentary never fails to amuse me – guess this following tome means – you dug up zip!
22:45: Видел гигантского червя, бороздящего пески пустыни подобно огромному кораблю. На спине червя стоял человек, казавшийся крошечной точкой по сравнению с громадной тушей. Человек посмотрел на меня пронзительно синими глазами без белков и сказал: «Заканчивал бы ты уже курить эти пряности, а?». Потом откашлялся и произнёс: «Проверь, нет ли клада под ногами?».
just realised today is Friday 13th – slow going on the temple at 10.4% but arena ranking now 16,530 or so. some of our Harvest Moon Russian players have popped in to say hi which is fantastic – handy to have bi-lingual friends in Russian Godville. Another benefit of playing there, is that if you irk someone or really peeve someone off, you’d never know unless you wanted to translate every forum comment! hero is also just as silly there as he is here – he just got a transportational skill – asynchronous swimming – and he has already spent 1.8-2.7k upgrading to level 7 – for each level!! like he wades through water in his travels? and playing pure evil – very different to playing pure good when i was getting the temple here – like i learned when i switched to the dark side after getting the temple – its totally different gameplay and things you did as pure good dont cut it when youre pure evil!
well today is 16th January and the hero has reached 5,960 on the gladiator pantheon and is 16.2% towards temple completion. Have made friends with the guildmaster of our guild – a very appropriate equivalent for Harvest Moon – the guilds motto is “earn trust first, then conquer the world” or words to that effect! they have made Hammr feel very welcome! Most coolest thing ive ever seen in the game – mini quests! just love them! around ten minutes each, and at the end you may fight a boss monster. they also have artifacts you can activate n arena! one that ensures all commands work and heroes fight to their full strength for example! punish a monster and you risk a bolt of lightning blowing up a bold or activatable artifact! i would like to extend deepest gratitude to Epoch for sending through a translatable wiki page – its been invauable and i am eternally grateful. Excuse the grammatical errors, no editing on this page – so its just like this game, hard and raw!
Late 19th Jan and the hero is settling nto his new environment – 2267 on gladiator and 22.6% temple completion. Had his first boss monster fight! interesting as it looks like an arena fight but no limit on actions – and when winning you can get one or two golden bricks, loads of coins or the booty that the monster is carrying! i dont know what type of monster it was – cant oronounce its name – but Hammr did lay some rosemary at its grave!
20th Jan and the acquisition of the first money pit – the Pochechirsky Cat – 2 hours old and he is quite cute – his name is Pistone – which in English means “pissed one” possibly! Up to 1,965 or so in gladiator with a lucky win off a backfire and 23.5% temple completion. still a long way to go!
