Topic: Neat little factoid about the 1999 Demon Castle War

[cecil-kain]

Remember how IGA said that The 1999 Demon Castle War takes place during a solar eclipse?  Supposedly he was inspired by a real eclipse that happened in Europe at that time.  While browsing for some eclipse imagery, I have discovered the exact date for our beloved Demon Castle War.

August 11, 1999.

Check out the path of the eclipse here.  Look at the area it passes over.  O-o

Now that's amusing. It crosses directly over Romania.

I thought this was common knowledge o-O

It may be common knowledge, but it is still cool! Nice share, cecil!

[Foffy]

And people say IGA's bad at storytelling~

[angevil]

I really hope IGA makes this game soon. I want to play this story!!!

I didn't even know where to find maps like that.       Wow IGA really does their homework. 

[Gunlord]

I guess I didn't give IGA enough credit. Nice little touch there

I found a really nice image of the real 1999 eclipse.  I used it to create a new Operation: Akumajo banner.  I have downsized it yet, but I'll post it in my sig later this week.  If you don't wanna wait you can view it on the Facebook Page.  Click the link in my sig.

Oh wow, that's pretty cool.

[Inccubus]

LOL! That's awesome! ^_____^

[Pemburu Vampir]

It is neat indeed.

Okay, now explain how this "war" was Prophesized Hundreds of years ago (conveniently after AoS was made)
And the Dumbest mystery, a Romanian Castle Appearing Conveniently in Tokyo.

I'm waiting for a GoW final opus to end up in New York.

IGA can do research, but that still doesn't exempt him from being a bad storyteller.

Why do people keep thinking AoS's castle is located in Japan? I thought the game was pretty clear on that being not the case.
