Redwall Easter Egg

[hooray hooray]

Caught you devs!

The head of the Rat Pack in one of the Free Worlds missions is named Cluny, like Cluny the Scourge from the Redwall books.

I yelled outloud in my dorm room when I came acrross this easter egg. I don't think I can accurately describe in text just how happy I was to see a Cluny the Scourge reference. Had to check the forums to make sure I wasn't alone.

I still read the books to this day, great reads for all ages. I wish they would make a film series but I'm afraid its too easy to mess it up with the CGI involved.

I actually met Brian Jacques back when he was first trying to market Redwall to the US and very few people here knew about the books yet. It was probably just a group of about 20 people or so, sitting in a circle in a tiny bookstore listening to him tell stories about his life. A few years later the books had become popular enough that he needed to rent out a whole auditorium for his book signing events...

Finding this was a pleasant surprise. I honestly wonder how many people who played this game got the reference.

How's the Rat Pack branch anyways? I declined their offer and the war was done pretty quickly after that, but it seems like taking the Rat Pack route would have ended in a little more bloodshed.

You may be confusing Rat Pack and Wolf Pack there. The Rat Pack is a bounty hunting mission before you even join the Free Worlds, Wolf Pack is a bit of Piracy in the name of the Free Worlds during the war. I admit I didn't do the Wolf Pack missions either, though.
Free Worlds Bounty hunting is fun, though, and might give you Hai tech before you even meet the Hai.

On the subject of easter eggs, is Ada, home of Lovelace Labs, a reference to Ada Lovelace?

[Husker_85]

Whose to say that the Lovelace Corporation wasn't named after Ada Lovelace, and that they didn't found Ada; a then unsettled world, to build their headquarters and accompanying settlements on?

The book is the Bellmaker. Cap'n Slipp and his polite, unintelligent "friend" Blaggut.

God thank you so much, I could never find it on Google for the life of me and I wanted so dearly to reread it. Many Thanks!
