Hi, welcome to Unreal World Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Weapons page.

Awesome edit to the phobias page - how did you get the info? Here, have an internet cookie: :) Veerserif 02:25, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you =)

Basically, I wrote a small app that took a screenshot of the (windowed) URW app and then 'read' (and wrote to db) the different information from the character creation screen, before sending a 'n' keypress event to the URW application for a re-roll. Currently 10 000+ rolls for each of the 10 cultures. I'll try to add the other statistics when I have the time.

The info on the weapons and other items are from one of the game files, and the skillpoint stuff is deducted through testing and looking at savegames (I did that several years ago, before and after agriculture was introduced, and haven't verified that it's still correct but it seems to be).

Btw, I haven't done any wiki stuff before so I might be doing some things wrong..

You wrote a program to gather statistics from the game? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!! That is someone who really likes this game I guess. Congratz and keep up the AWESOME work. Dot12 17:07, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Writing an app like that doesn't take long if you have suitable libraries at your disposal - a couple of hours to get it right, maybe. Rolling 100k+ times on the other hand..

But, yes, I really like this game. Poor graphics, annoying bugs, inconsistencies etc etc - still, not many professionally developed games can compete with URW when it comes to gameplay and replayability. And the freedom. Too many game designers want too much control over the players' gaming experience to allow them to roam free. In URW you can do just about anything you want - and then face the consequences, of course.
