Spiders

oooh, one of the things i was thinking of was spiders! it would be cool if we could see them walking about and such mostly in the forest areas but towns could have them too! but the only way to keep out of a building would be to use a broom to sweep them out and kill their nests with it.
it would certainly add a use for brooms!

or if there were teranchulas it could probley be killed for meat. some places do eat spiders....anyways the forest would be a cool area to find these lil buggers running around maybe even eating some birds.... :shock:

Rats would be another one that could be added. Although I don't know if I'd want to eat a rat? But Spiders and rats can actually damage buildings that are made of wood. If that was inplemented in to the game, then the buildings would need to be kept up, repairs would need to be made. I mean this game is almost like RL so I think that would be a good idea, plus it would give construction companies contstant business.

new.vogue.nightmare you have a very sick and twisted mind. I mean some of the things that you think of are just so sick and demented. I like it, Rat poison. You could put it on meat or potatoes and then drop it. Just wait and when a theif comes along follow him/her. Tell him/her to return the stuff and hurt them. Then when they eat them they will die or be almost dead. The poisoned meat/potatoes could also contaminate other meat or potatoes they have. Just another twisted thought to go along with new.vogue.nightmare

spiders could make stuff too, like really strong silk. Also, I heard someplace that they eat spiderwebs for some illness or something. Also, if other bugs are added, like bad ones, spiders could kill them.

Rat poison is so mean, btw. Rats are cutie pies. And very sweet.

It's spider venom that is used to cure some illness'. And what do you mean Rat's are cute???? These things are the beasts of the rodant family. Mice on the other hand are smaller. I've seen rat's that were the size of a kitten. Hmmm... I wonder who would win that fight?

So if we could extract spider venom we could use it for certain illness' like Getting sick from eating food that was tainted with RAT POISON. :twisted:

:Blinks: Ooook than. I like the idea of rats and spiders, but what about flies? They could buzz around your head and make you lose like, 1 percent a day, or do 1 damage when they "attack" you. And you can kill them easy, but they breed quickly, especially around water. Oh, and they lay eggs on corpses if you leave em sitting out too long and than you have even MORE flies.

I think fly would be good, but can fly's realy hurt you? How about if a corpse is lying around for too long the flys start to appear, also when a person is carrying meat that isn't in a container. Grilled meat would last longer than meat that isn't grilled. Also instead of hurting you, they slow your productivity by 50%, you can kill them, instantly, but you have to stop your activity before you can do that, so it takes time from your project. It can all be avoided by grilling meat, building a container and burrying all corpses. What so you think?

Flies and rats could cause life expectancy to drop due to spreding of disease and overall lowering of sanitation. Thus for every body and unfinished burial project you'd have some flies and unfinished farming products micht encourage breeding of rats, and within about three minutes the entire K-continent would become unlivable! :twisted:

Serves them right for making such a mess of the place. I blame them for the lag ^_^

I know of a cat who did thesame. Well, not intothe engine but undr the hood really.
It actually came out alive, but had the worst "bad hair day" a cat could ever have. Damn fans. :lol:

And Huge rat vs Cat: Rat wins, unless it's a really vicous cat.

About flies: Um, I've never been attacked by a horde of flies, let alone lost health to them, unless they would have "ant army coorperation programming". But them slowly eating the corpses would be nice, cuz no one wants to be an undertaker.

And no spiders ingame please. I'm arachnaphobic. :shock:

lol about the fly thing, well if you ever lived near a farm or ranch and you have horses out there...there is the horse fly. those can leave the badest bite on you, you couldnt emagine. they actualy hurt worse than a bee sting as sad as that sounds lol!!! we have horses in cantr...why not a horse fly?? =P

Currently, I haven't programmed any animals that are relatively minescule in size. I tend to think of animals as ones that a character can easily see and interact with. Also, with the current system, it'd be very difficult to regulate something such as many spiders with the chance to attack, it could end up very badly like the racoons did when we first implemented animals. I am still open to suggestions for new animals though and welcome the thoughts.
