Speaking of lumpkins: I was thinking of adding Lumpkin Shamans into the game. Like other lumpkins, just with a special skin and healing abillity (Like the healer). This would allow more teamwork between lumpkins and more tactical opposition. |
We definitely need Cobol shamans at least, now that I've arbitrarily decided that they can use nature magic.
Since Lumpkins use G'nome technology, maybe a Lumpkin medic would be better?

But I think modules should all stay the same.  They're good. G'nome starter is good to learn how to be a G'nome, Healer is challenging enough, and the Ash Palace is difficult, but I like it. I haven't played the Catacombs 1 yet so I don't know about it.

Should I make a more challenging G'nome module? Like "G'nome Challenge"?

Yeah, right now, we really need starters. Keep working on the Vampyre one!
If Chainsaw lets you, you could do the Hobgoblin one, or at least help with it.
If Zefz lets you, you could do the Archaeologist one, or at least help with it.

Hey, woodmouse, you don't need to do everything. We can do things too, and I'm sure some of us want to.
And don't just dive straight in and do something because one person suggests it. Zefz should be consulted on some of these things.

Yeah, I would suggest only working on one or two things.
It gets crazy when you try to do too much, trust me!
Seriously, AoD, calm down. You already said that.

Haha Good one 
Should we award PP points for spamming? 
Anyways I have these really good plans and ideas for Archeologist, Abyss 2, Zombi Starter and Griffin Tower. That's why I kinda "claimed" them ^^
What the game always can use is new monsters, new tile textures. Fossils for example. New demons and magic items for the abyss level 2.
Maybe some idea inputs for those modules? (Special encounters, puzzles etc.)

Speaking of difficulties. I don't think it would be insanely hard to make a difficulty slider ingame. You could have a Hard-Core mode for example, giving monsters +50% damage and HP, but also awarding 25% bonus xp or something like that.
(Or easy mode -25% xp, damage and life)

I would guess that these shamans would hurt the human healers as they are evil...right? And vice-versa?

You should be able to create a flame like effect if you spawn particles from vertices near the eyes.
HOWEVER, there is no reason for Lumpkins to be magically evil. For instance, they are not possesed by demons or corrupted by some evil magical object or anything like that. They are just the cat-people of the game. Maybe it would be better for the leader to wear a mask, or some special hat (or something like that). That would be similar to what tribal chieftans do in the real world (when they wear anything special at all....) |

I'd say, if we add different dificulties, we should also allow there to be different spawn.txts for each module and difficulty grade. Just having stronger enemies is boring; having the treasures spread a bit differently and having more enemies isn't.
