Thought or Rant of the day!!!

here's a way to nerf the dragging advantage, and stop one man killing sprees, and make combat more dangerous and better:

make it a project.

I fail to see how two men fighting can still farm for healing food or something else in between trading blows.

a fighting project would prevent any dragging as the participants are in a swirling melee and anyone trying to drag would get their wrists slapped in a painful manner with whatever weapon the defender had.

as a project a single person would be unable to fight against an entire town.

As you can only fight one person in such a project, fighting can be made more deadly, and more complex to give a better more balanced system.

Perhaps it will no longer take weeks to kill someone with a bare fist...

And finally, weapons need pros and cons beyond the material cost and weight.

The reason so many weapons developed in real life was because they fulfilled different roles, but in Cantr there is no reason to have many weapons which deal the same damage as there is no other benefit to them.

Spears could make defending easier but attacking harder, swords could be improve defense without compromising attack.

Bows could use the current system to reflect the fact you don't need to close in and engage your opponent.

I could go on and on. ranting about the combat system is goooood....

I am final, I am sorry, but it does not approach me. There are other variants?

Dont you just love it when your BRAND NEW crowbar takes 17 hours to repair? And your two NEW wheelbarrows take 13-14 hours each when your OFTEN USED and USED shovels and crossbows only take 5-7 hours to repair?

Sum of the Repair rates in cantr......

Fucking Retarded

Honestly, fix those rates its ridiculous. A crowbar shouldnt be decaying that fast... 17 hours for a Brand New crowbar? It should need 1 hour of repair after 1000 turns.

In my opinion you are not right. Let's discuss. Write to me in PM.

Do tools degrade when they're not being carried?

This post has been certified as containing a valid arguement.

I have no idea how that would come about, it does sound incredibly crazy.

Perhaps it's based on the idea that tougher materials are tougher to repair? I don't think I agree with that, if that is the thought behind it.

It's based on the age old policy of making things as difficult as possible....!

Like how does it take a person hours of work to watch dung or meat dry on a rack - there's a job that would suit me!

Character overload...thats all i can describe it as. All my chars are getting stubborn and argumentative. I just don't know where they get that from. :shock:

And every major ruddy event happening mine are right bang smack in the middle of it. Which is what happens with Nosy chars with an attitude, i don't know where they get that from either. By rights i should have smoke coming out the keyboard from all the typing. So i'm ranting about typist ache right now. And i will not have my nails cut shorter so i don't make myself look a pleb while having to type fast and catch the odd random key with them.And who keeps knicking my spacebar at those times as well. Soit'scharacteroverload.and typistache today.
