duplicate of butchery suggestion

Postby viktor » Wed Sep 20, 2006 11:26 am

why is it the only way to get rid of a dead body is by dragging it to a town center or on a ship and bury it? why not have dismemberment? cantriians weigh 60,000 grams right? they should be possible to dismember into something smaller 5000/6000/7500/10000 gram size pieces any one of those numbers (or even 12000 grams if you want to make it at least somewhat challenging), then you could bury any piece the same as a body, just go out to some desolate location , like you hear on the news :? except you have all those pieces which makes it longer to bury but that's the price for killing someone and having to get all sneaky about it. this way even a weak dragger can also have a chance to dispose of someone they would need to wait years to drag.
or dump em at sea. you would have to have a tool for it and the rates of the dismemberment project would differ for them, slowest to fastest: stone axe, 3/4 axe, axe, battleaxe
also the head should be a piece with dynamic naming you can dispose of that piece by burying it, throwing it down a well, dumping it at sea, or putting it on a pike(this can be undone)
and if you want to get real fancy you can have one of those other pieces actually be useful as cantriian flesh(special class of flesh so if you flash it around people know what it is, eat per day 50 grams cooked,40 grams smoked,35 grams salted) and maybe some large bones and cantriian hide and dung(or waste)(optional about getting resources from a cantriian i know it's disturbing)
in this manner we could also impliment a change in animal claims, you kill it it becomes lets say a dead deer, you can drag it and clean you're kill, you can even mount the head as a trophy now hows that for giving some extra thing for cultural distinction some people would have animal heads others would bury em or something and of course the rest of the animal becomes the usual resources we get. and for animals we could allow for any kind of knife be it frm slowest to fastest: stone knife,bone knife, steel knife,stone cleaver,bronze carving knife,iron carving knife,steel drawknife

(i noticed i said stone knife, we have a lacking in the stone age tool department and there should be a stone knife 125 grams of stone, 4 hours to make gives half the damage as a bone knife rots the same, cannot be repaired)

you really gotta consider this be it in part or whole it would add some interesting elements to cantr.
