Animal explosion

Postby EchoMan » Sat Jan 09, 2010 9:34 pm

All locations just had a huge surge in animal population. Is there a reason for this?

I know one of my chars is dead, she won't survive 15+ of 6 different aggressive animals. :/

That is pretty sweet. Just had all of my characters hunting; there are no laws that say you can't hit/kill under twenty. ;)

I noticed this too, and it pretty much sealed the fate for my hermit. Kind of hard to build anything to hide in when you keep having to stop and gather tomatoes instead. :|

Watched a perfectly good town go to sh*t in twenty minutes over hunting laws. Boo to the player that stepped his/her charrie out of a building to suddenly go hunting.

A town I'm in has no hunting laws but the town leader said "No hunting n00bs" XD (Not literal, mind you.)

I had this problem about 1 or 2 cantr years ago. Mine actually had to go to the next town to gather healing foods...repeatedly. lol Luckily, my poor little hermit managed to build herself a shack, and store up some healing foods while the populations were low. Hopefully it's enough.

Eh... My hermit character's going to die too, I don't have tomatoes conveniently growing around her clearing. I'll be lucky to finish getting enough grass to build a hut by the time she's nearly dead, much less build one.

Also I must admit that the name of the thread title inspired a much different theory in my mind regarding the subject of the thread than the one I discovered upon entering it

While I agree that it's annoying, I don't think it should change. I've always supported mechanisms in game which make life harder for Cantrians to survive (as right now it's a breeze). Some things could include food shortages in towns, forcing migrations.. overpopulation of animals and floods etc.

I think it's more fun, personally, when it's a struggle to survive out in the wilderness.

The problem is that there are no neighboring "towns" in the vicinity. This character is truly alone out in the wilderness. Plus he's about to run of food. :(

I enjoy challenges like this too (I thought that it was actually pretty amusing when the animals were dying out), I'm just a little sad for my little hermit. He has/had so many plans!

Annoying? Nah, I think it's mostly funny.

I liked the explosion, but damn, I never expected for people to kill every single animal back off again so quickly.

Cantrians have little to no understanding of conservation.

Thanks for the repopulation. I know it's going to cause problems for some chars, but there are plenty others who were starving or having other hardships from the loss of animals.
