We need to set up a thread for Foamwinian swapping then after release... if there isn't already one somewhere? :D

Good manuals I also miss. Anyone remember the original manual to Homeworld? Now that was a manual. Very Happy


As a foaming-at-the-mouth rabid Homeworld fan, I can completely agree with you. Not only did it have awesome information and back story, but it totally played up one of the early and devastating plot points during the game.
High-five :P

Also, has your location always been Taiidan? ;)


Also, I wonder how well Introversion could do with a Darwinia/Multiwinia-themed board game of some kind. That could be kinda cool. :)

Also, EDIT: Also, also.

Depends- would you use miniatures, or cardboard tokens?

I don't think that'd come under the game design. Perhaps when he starts thinking about making it, then he can give you an answer. :P

Kuth, you got a Soundtrack to Homeworld :shock: I didn't. I feel ripped off.
Nevermind, there must be a way to rip it out of the data files... or see it on E-bay. Homeworld series my 2nd favourite RTS, might get relegated to 3rd on the 19th ;)

Ah instead of a "book", why not just take all the blog posts, shine them up perhaps with some spell checking and maybe additional pictures/subsitutes for the videos, and put it to print? I would certainly buy that collection of goodness.

Got my tin today :-)
Unfortunately has a few dents in it :( but it was as I feared, coming from across the globe to Australia.
I think that foamwinians should be up for sale! The blue and green ones that I have are lonely!

I wonder how cheap it is to make those...

Perhaps IV would consider it if they knew the profit of Foamwinians would exceed the costs to make them.

I know I'd buy some, to have a full set. Would be nice if they came in orange, too.

It would make sense to have the eight colours of Multiwinia. I'd be satisfied with just Red, Green, Blue and Yellow, though (not that I'm not satisfied with my just Green and Blue, mind!)

As I said, I would be willing to buy a red and yellow DG off of someone. I will pay for shipping, and I am sure that we can negotiate a fair price.

Why don't I just buy two more special edition tins for $70 each, and assume that I will get the colors I want? ;)
