Pontifex Ii: Bridge Builder

Infinitum

<div class="IPBDescription">Builds bridges.. that's just about it.</div> <a href='http://www.chroniclogic.com/pontifex.htm' target='_blank'>Pontifex II</a>

Basically it's a bridge building game... except it's more like a puzzle game. They give you a couple of set foundation pieces, from which to build from, a set budget and you do the rest. Then you test it, they'll send trains or cars over it and boats under it trying to break it >=D

weee for stress testing

Man you can waste SO much time finding the best design, and then improving on it's aesthetics... I went in at like 3am... it's now 6:30am...



Here's a picture of my favourite design I made. I solved it at around $15,000, but I just added to it.. till it was 500 under the $45,000 limit:

TychoCelchuuu

Oooh, fun. Building bridges has neve been better.

Liku

Looks like fun, but I'll pass on a Demo.

DOOManiac

Oh crap... not this thing again! Good thing I totally suck at engineering! :P

I dont understand how come my suckage bridges get me to pass the level... (at one of them my train even flies a bit)

anyways I had fun playing the demo, but im happy my bridges would never be made irl cuz trampolines are not good for my bike <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

just wasted an hour of my life, and now im stuck on level 9, it wont let me use the middle foundation peice!

Grimm

I was so attracted to it, but then I ran into the same problem as Zel : Can't use the middle foundation on level 9! <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> Its impossible without that middle foundation.

DiscoZombie

yeah what's up with that, stuck on the same level... of course none of my bridges look as cool as inf's...

anyway I did notice that you can make use of that center underwater dot on lev 9... you just have to move your view 'back' or 'forward'... of course, then, your beams won't be straight up and down, and my bridge still collapses anyhow... inf, post a spoiler photo =P

DiscoZombie

hey, nm, I figur'd it out meself.

yarr.

Just beat level 10 with no damage to the bridge and $3000 dollars under budget.

DiscoZombie

wow, that works? I'm impressed. I guess my bridge building days are numbered.

Zel

i beat level nine without using the middle, but my train got wet a few times, still made it across four times, although the bridge was absolutely demolished.

leave enough debris in the way and the bridge will stand on that!

seen Pontifex a looong time ago, but still good.

this weekend where i was at a LAN at a friend, i showed it to them they played it for a day and a night...then the LAN stopped and i think they still play it....
