Is this odd?
« on: March 19, 2009, 10:36:51 pm »

Well I was walking through a forest and all of the sudden 6 fish died at the same time all saying they where drowned any one have a explanation for this?

Here is a joke"Some ogre must of farted in a lake"

But any ways the 6 fish thing is true, 2 where longnose Gars and the 4 other where sturgeons

If the fish spawned on dry ground, or if they were supposed to be in a murky pool which due to the season was dry, it would give you that message, I believe.

And one more thing how do I get meat of of creatures? I'm asking this question since for some reason every town with a meat store has nothing and the first 3 had rotting meat and bones all over it.

You search the ground and eat live bugs.

yeah, you cant get meat off animals and fish yet. or fur or leather. toady has dev notes talking about putting this in, so you can go hunt, skin and cook random critters for food and income. you may even be able to make your own leather armor and stuff. no word on whether this will extend to butchering an elf civ, skinning, cooking and eating the inhabitants, then making hats and coats out of their cured skin. though if i know this game then its going in.

currently if your desperate you can search the ground for vermin like bugs, lizards or rats, which can be eaten whole and alive, or you can (T)ravel to a town and buy/steal food. quest locations also often have food lying everywhere, as nasty creatures like giants who have been raiding human civs will take their food and items, which you can recover. funnily merchants dont buy live vermin, complaining that they squirm too much. you can still throw them for damage though.

and fish drown outside of water. so like bromer said a small pond probably dried up while you were nearby. careful not to fall into dry ponds as you cant climb out.

Use 'T' to travel - it dispels all injuries, including hunger, thirst, and drowsiness.
