Because it's not in the game, can we see shaman soon in the next future patch releases?

Or at least try to?

yes I would agree..... *looks at multiwinia, some red virii, scratching across the land, just waiting to be commanded by something"

I think I'd rather see a polished editor that won't daunt would be modders be of higher priority right now.

If you play with the darwinia editor and think that the MW editor probably will be a lot like that, you can get an idea of how steep the learning curve will be to get highly proficient at it. And how difficult it will be to get the exact results one would like in their maps.

After the Editor then I can see putting game content higher on the list in my opinion.

To be honest, I have no clue what is and or is not being worked on. Way too new to know anything at this point.

I'm just saying what I'd like to see as priority from an outside perspective.

Yeah, I do prefer the editor first above the shaman. It's just a thought.

Actually, some sort of proto-shaman is in the game, and can be accessed by editing the map files (this is true for several other dropped powerups). It doesn't really do anything though.

What this means is that IV probably played around with the shaman, but eventually decided to drop it. So don't count on one showing up in the game at this point.

so, one might be able to see what a shaman actually looks like through modding? Much like how I found the tank?

I'm sorry, but why is that relevant for this thread?

I know, but it still does not discuss or add any new information about the topic of this thread, which is the Shaman.

I'm just hoping you post more consistently, instead of posting on a lot of threads about a lot of repeated subjects at once.

Edit, to clarify what I mean:

This is the reply, which is still slightly relevant.

This is about your experience on another thread, and with modding IV games, not about the shaman.

The only way that you will ever learn the customs of these forums is through constant nit-picking and criticism. You have three choices: get used to it, learn from it, or go away.

Sorry if I'm being picky, not in a good mood today. :?

Your edited post is much much better.

xander is right, yeah I will get use to your constant "picking" but most of which is critisizm which I have a hard time coping with, but will deal with and learn from....

and thank you....
