My major concern...
« on: November 16, 2008, 01:56:45 pm »

Is that Toady is going to get caught up in all the minute details and the project will collapse like Armok.....  Stay focused on the major objectives bro!  I doubt hair growth will have much impact on gameplay etc.

Aw, and all I brought was this zucchini. Oh well!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Since Toady had already well, stopped working on AGOB1, I'm sure he has learned from many a mistakes he had made on AGOB1.

Sooo if he thinks it would be a bad idea I'm sure he would have stopped on the hair thingy by now.
(It's just hair anyway, not like anything besides humans had hair in AGOB1)

You do know dwarves throw rocks from the ground up.  Ducking will do you no good.

Also, now that Toady has implemented hair, the dwarves will just use their beards as slings when you run out of range.

Toady working on pointless details isn't why the first Armok was tucked away...

I wonder why this one point took so long

I don't agree.
Having more minor & detailed features = + diversity = better gameplay.  :)

I think more time should be spent on Dwarf mode features rather than minor changes or adventure mode things - that will add more flavour, but the flexibility and fun of Dwarf mode is what makes this game so awesome, and there are so many things that could be expanded upon!

Also, bring back cliffs.

Edit: It seems like a good way to go would be to have a kind of universal framework for items, buildings and such. Like the ability to create new buildings, new items/item types, how those items are used... I suppose that would be in the works, though. Something about moving everything to the raws.

Lower (or disable) erosion cycles in world generation, receive cliffs.  :)

Cliffs were removed to deal with issue with roads.  Civs would try to make roads that went off cliffs.

Unless it becomes such a burden that the major gameplay issues get losy in the scuffle and the system becomes unwieldy and cumbersom (more than it is).
