0008000: Idea For Map Generation Settings - Non-Standard Monsters

Description

Hi,

As per thread: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,10755.0.html [^] [^]

I have some ideas for additional settings that could be added for players to choose when creating a new game world.

------------------------------------

Non-Standard Monsters: What this option does is totally randomize the weakness/resistance elements of every creature type. To make this option even more interesting, the player can choose the option to have this work on a per-continent basis instead. Each continent will have their own flavour of monsters and this helps in making each continent unique in that regard.

(0024551) MouldyK (reporter) May 21, 2012 8:48 pm	This does seem like a simple fix that, while altering some things, like having things weak to what they supposedly would be weak to (fire things weak to water for example), would add a lot of mystery and surprise to the game. Like: "Oh, fireball was effective the last continent, i'll use it again this continent..." -notices 50% of things have brought their Fire-Proof Vest with them- "...guess it's time for a new spell." Benmiff, the same goes for your idea, except changing where to get Arcane Ingredients seems a bit weirder to me as things like Magma should be found mostly in the Desert. Although i'm all for Cave Enchants like Opal doing a switch per-continent.
