fire fire wonderful fire, you would never hurt- ACK!
« on: January 19, 2007, 04:34:00 pm »

so i set fire to a shrub... wait a while and it goes out. then I set fire to a tree and this takes longer to go out. So I go to sleep some way away from the fire while I wait and I wake up interrupted because I'm blistering. What happened? Well I was blistered by a peasent who had walked through the fire and now there are numerous shrubs and trees in areas that are on fire... Also some charred corpses with lots of loot on them. Ok so I am definetly NOT complaining but still when's toady gonna sort it out so they watch out for fires and stuff.

Not sure when.  It's definitely needed though.  You'll notice even more if something happens to catch on fire in dwarf mode, since you'll probably lose quite a few civilians if you don't isolate the area somehow.

Cold kills as badly as heat. I had an entire village die from frostbite (well, excluding the guards) in their sleep. Feet froze off and they bled to death.

So wait why did the guards survive? Maybe their armour protects them from the cold? Well that would make sense.

Yeah, their extra layers help.  I might have to teach the villagers about simple things like blankets.

Or maybe it should work like in UNREAL world. There are warm clothes in that game, and you must equip them in winter, or more then likely you will die because of cold.

Have both.
Warm clothes when your up and about blankets when you sleep, having either makes it far less likely to freeze, both = tiny chance.

Could put something for if you are too hot from clothing too making you tire out quicker. Unless that is there, not played much adventure.

So, on the off chance that there's hurricane force winds on a below zero day . . .

I love this game.

I haven't gotten to play with fire yet, it sounds hilarious.
