  1. Rome II is great with some good mods. I prefer Divide et Impera myself.
  2. They do have a booth at E3 for whatever that's worth...
  3. These are great. I hope that you continue for future books.
  4. I think it's the one where Renarin joins Bridge Four.
  5. One Rosharan month is 50 days, each year is made up of 10 months 50 x 10 = 500 So one Rosharan year is 500 days. So divide one Rosharan year by one Earth year to get the ratio of Rosharan years to Earth years. 500/365.25 = 1.38 Earth years per one Rosharan year. 1.38 x 20 = 27.4 Earth years Kaladin is at least 27.4 Earth Years old Edit: Nevermind, Rosharan days are shorter.
  6. What we know: Sazed holds the shards Preservation and Ruin loosely creating Harmony Preservation used his power the keep Ruin from destroying everything by trapping him in a prison. At the time of Way of Kings Sazed has held Preservation and Ruin for several hundred years. Sazed is not an original shardholder, and at the end of HoA is trying to figure out the cosmere. Sazed holds excess Ruin power. WoB suggests he is using it to do something. Rayse hates Harmony. Rayse is trapped on greater Roshar, the words in The Response state him as being "captive". The Theory: Based on what we know Sazed may be responsible for Rayse's captivity. I think this may be a little bit of a stretch as correlation does not imply causation, but that's why its a theory. Right? Hooray for for my first theory! (Sorry for my lack of quotes, I had to get this out before I forgot the facts.)
  7. Kaladin is 27 in Earth years btw
  8. I don't know why I laughed so hard at that. Maybe Stormlight could be burned for Allomancy as any metal the way Vin burned the mists. Although I don't see how a Mistborn could suck in Stormlight like a Surgebinder.
  9. I am also inclined to believe this. But I wonder what the fourth entity has to do with it, and why did the Shadowblaze not choose Joel.
  10. Also what is the fourth entity? And if there's a fourth there must be at least three more.
  11. I see it this way. Shadowblaze: large extremely advanced wild chalkling that must be bound to a vessel. Bindagent: the power that binds the Shadowblaze to Rithmatist thus granting Rithmatic power. (This could be the Shadowblaze itself too.) Vessel: Potential Rithmatist.
  12. Looked closer into the meaning of bindagent. Can mean a lot of things. Including: A binding agent. A person who delivers a package. A power or authority to be assumed. A person who enforces a contract.
  13. The bindagent could very well be a person, but I don't think so. All uses of the "word" bindagent in contexts outside of this book appear to imply at it is authority or power that belongs to and must be assumed by another. There could be something controlling the Shadowblaze, but it would appear not to be a human. Based on some of the histories we have seen about the Spanish explorers we know they saw them on cliff walls. This implies that they could be: A. The Rithmatic remnants of long lost, advanced civilization. B. Wild chalklings that are "good". C. The servants of a God. First off, if they are chalklings they are far more advanced than any others we have seen created by humans so I am disinclined to believe that they of human creation. I believe it is a combination of B and C. I believe that they are a natural occurrence within the system created by whatever supreme being controls this world in order to bestow Rithmatic power upon humans. The bindagent is obviously sentient otherwise it could not makes the wise decision, but I don't believe a human is controlling the system. The power that is the bindagent could very well be a being that attaches itself to the vessel very much like the forgotten attached to Harding, but the bond would be much stronger. Also the fact the book was written by humans, for humans doesn't mean they control it. We write about stars and we know what affects them, but we don't seriously impact them.
  14. I got the e-book but there's no map
  15. Given the small excerpt from the book Joel "borrowed" on how people become Rithmatists we know that there is the Shadowblaze which is the large primitive chalk-like creature he saw and it must be "chained" in some way. Also it has its fourth entity removed and as I try to figure that one out I can't. The way or time that it is done appears to be unknown or undeterminable. The bindagent is a being controlling power or it is the power that must be transferred to another. The vessels are what the bindagent would transfer the power to, and great care must taken to choose the right vessel as the entire process appears to be irreversible and a wrong decision could have dire consequences. My guess is that the Shadowblaze is the bindagent, or controls the bindagent, and it must be "chained" by or to the vessel. In this way the power that creates a Rithmatist is indentured upon the vessel or person in the rite. The Shadowblaze must determine if the person. I don't know how the Shadow blaze determines who is and who isn't worthy, but something obviously went wrong with what Joel did. Perhaps he was supposed to wait for the Shadowblaze to touch him and have it start the process, or perhaps he didn't give it time to watch and examine him thus scaring the Shadowblaze away. The vessels are obviously the humans or the recipients of Rithmatic power. Either way he could go back to try and see the Shadowblaze but the chances of him getting back into the chamber are pretty slim. What do you think?
  16. It would have to be very well thought out. One does not simply create a video game off one of Sanderson's books. I'm game though, and I would definitely help hammer out some basic mechanics for a game should you need me.
