[edit] Redirect

Post-searing redirects to this article... which has a link to Post-Searing (which redirects to this article... aiiieeee, where will it end?). Does this seem odd to anyone else? Pre-searing has a redirect to Pre-Searing Ascalon. Should Post-Searing then redirect to Ascalon for consistency? --Nkuvu 20:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Im guessing Post-searing should redirect to post-searing-Ascalon, just as pre-searing redirects to pre-searing-Ascalon. brains12 (talk) 20:39, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Census

I would be interested in compiling a census of all the known people in pre-searing, including towns folk that have names, and listing them as either a Survivor, Missing or Deceased, depending on known informaton in the game. Worthy of an article, yes/no? LeFick 02:09, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm...It would be very interesting to see, but where do you put it? Calor - talk 02:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I've started a page, and already had some help. Ascalon Census 1072AE Once we see which way it grows, we can figure out what to do with it. LeFick 22:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Searing Cinematics

What I don't get is how the crystals just dissapear into the ground and the grass is left as it was before, but 2 years after the Searing the ground is all gray and brown.

I'm guessing it was technical limitations and implementation difficulty more than anything. Maybe they can't deform their heightmaps in realtime. And I don't recall anything significantly changing textures on anything, even the stuff being broken apart. I don't know why they didn't leave behind deco meshes of the crystals after they hit; for the length of time you'd be looking at it it'd probably be ok even if they were clipped half through the ground because at least something would be different.

You can, BTW, go find the places where most if not all of the crystals disappear in post, they at least put them down in the same places for the most part. --Star Weaver 22:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Also, I imgaine the land is all dry and barren more because the water table and maybe the air got polluted by the heavy explosions and radiation foul magics than any direct effect -- it probably withered over time. --Star Weaver 22:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
