The Energon Pub

well, my interest has been peaked by the concept of Heavy Metal war, however aside from my trying to decide on a faction (one side I love my Autobots, on the other, I have more cons) I don't realy know how the gameplay is supposed to work, something I couldn't find on the Faq.

Sooo.... hows it work?

You create a transformer (up to twelve of them), give it a name, and send it off to fight in missions. Random number stuff happens, and the computer spits out a result. You gain energon and experience, and with enough experience, you start the be able to upgrade Tech Spec stats. You get hooked, alienate your family, friends and colleagues, lose your girlfriend, make it to the high levels of the game, pine for the old days, troll AS, see too many programmers come and go, but still cherish the experience and grow old with this wonderful game as your soul mate.

That's right! Because here at HMW the game is only half the experience, the other half is the turbulent fun of the forums!

But he's not bitter.

And I agree with Uncrazzimatic, most of the fun's on the boards.

Magically. Through the CR Chamber. If you haven't used the options tab in your registry to set CR to automatic, do so. Until such time, you'll have to manually click the CR Chamber link and enter your injured characters into it.

I'd imagine she'd be a little stiff.
Good job she kept her cool, huh? 8-}
