So now I vote to revert the reproducible animals change. It has provided only small value to the game (if at all) and caused aus multiple problems. If we revert this the map would look like the map designer wants it to look at least until the hunters go in. Adding another simulation feature here (simulating individual bob behaviour) would end up with the next wanted feature to make something else more realistic and simulate it more in detail, all of this adding little to the gameplay but cost time and performance. Imho this is still a game and not a simulation of live. +1 Top Quote

Once multithreading is in it will be possible to get some performance boosts in the game logic as well (my next project) which should be extendable to also allow herd simulation at an acceptable CPU cost. at least I want to try that before removing the code and I do believe coordinated animal herds would look good in WideLands Top Quote

I'm too busy looking for more iron This feature still feels like it has no direction and IIRC the unbalancing it introduces (barbarians gain much less from this feature than the other tribes) wasn't addressed. Like the tree growth feature it sounded cool to begin with but never offered any advantages, only more code and more bugs :-\ WARNING: New-style view packet not found. There may be strange effects regarding unseen areas. _aD on IRC Top Quote
