800 animals

Postby ichi » Thu May 29, 2008 5:19 am

I've currently got a character in a location with more than 800 animals. It is not an isolated location. It gets occasional hunting and currently has two characters there.

If we've got 800 animals here, how many thousands are there in unpopulated locations? And how much lag are they causing???

Geez, looks like you're going to need a bigger spear.

How often do you get attacked there? Once every five minutes?

Animals attack just in their turn, which happens 4 or 8 times a day (I don't remember), though they could attack many times in single turn.

Isn't this a waste of animals? I mean, they are laggy, so that's why there is a limit for their number on the entire Cantr world... Why have 800 animals on a location with 3 people? Kinda... waste. And laggy.

I can se it now

You see a meteor strike the ground in the distance killing 750 animals. The land that was once a forest is now a desert.

:D

Well... Not exactly a meteor...Maybe just a little plague that would kill like... 50..500 or so animals... Maybe 700..*shrugs* Not much.*whistles innocently*

No, it couldn't be a plague. The people would get infect too most likely. But it would also leave sll the animal parts. They would never run out. Maybe the animals should start attacking eachother...

4 times a day, the game selects a random number (based on a complex equation) of animals that can attack. Each animal selected is then tested to see if it does attack. If there is no one there to attack, the attack is void.

I did a game-wide animal cull. You will be hard-pressed to find any location now with more than 200 animals, although the numbers will go up again over time.
