I had imagined they'd stand/sit on their hind legs with the trunk of their body reaching up into the mushroom's gills. Kinda like how giant sloths are sometimes depicted reaching up into trees.

Will we eventually be able to learn or teach skills or secrets to/from NPCs via talking to them? Such as learning a secret orally from someone who knows it, and then passing it on to a student?

[LordBaal]

I imagine it something like this:
D = Dralthas
I = Tower-cap trunk
T =Tower-cap top.

Seen from the side:

Code: [Select]

T
ID
The vertically, diagonal top of the towercap is within reach of the Draltha, so maybe they will eat this way until multi tiled creatures (besides the wagon) are a reality.

There's also this confinguration:

I mean the tops will be solid right?

[WillowLuman]

What, they stand on top, eat it, then fall down? That seems silly.

[LordBaal]

Wolverine is right, eating from the top would be silly, what the heck would a draltha be doing over a tower-cap?

[PTTG??]

Maybe browsing won't destroy the tile, just change it to "stripped".

Alternatively, give the browsing ability a "reach" of several tiles and just say that the neck sticks out of the actual tile region, but on average, most of the Draltha is in the square with the D.

[King Mir]

Some long neck ability could be made to work, but I think it's unlikely that Toady would put the time into it for this release. Multi-tile creatures are the better but harder solution, and Toady's always been one to prefer those.

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, so
Considering that we are going to see several changes and fixes to combat in next version, are overpowered bolts and arrows also going to be fixed?

those are linked to multi-material items and i dont remember anything being done on that. any other fix would only be temporary and toady is probably rather postponing the issue until it fixes itself once he gets to m-m items.

[greenwatering]

you guys no that most creatures don't actually eat, right? just adventurers and dwarfmode dwarves.
there's no real logistical problem here unless that ever gets changed.

And grazers. But other than that...

He hasn't talked about changing bolts or weapons in general. So, no intentional fixes have been made or probably major changes.

yeah, so dralthas are grazers. they don't eat tower caps at all.

[LordBaal]

But.. but...

[mastahcheese]

Man, I can't wait for this to come out.

Will you be able to bribe people for various reasons this release?
If not, what would it likely be included with on your plans?

I'm guessing it'd be around the tavern stuff.
