"My feet hurt from always walking so far..." - maybe horses

Post by Glohin »

I don t think I m the only one who is annoyed of always walking so far,so
just a suggestion (I hope it wouldn t be too much work, if yes I prefer to
walk with my ittle dwarf feet ;)  )

HORSES:
Well, there should be horses, who walk are able to run much faster (about
3 times faster on normal ground, and 2 times faster on mountains and swamp)

They should cost about 1500 gp
You should only be able to buy them, not catch or anything like that.
If you have a horse, you should be able to carry more weight.

TELEPORT:
Mages should be able to cast a teleport spell.
Maybe 4 or 5 runes need to cast.
At least half of mana need for it.
Range:As far as you can see on the map.
The more far you go, the more mana is needed.

well thats it ;)

forgive me, I don t know much about programming a game, so if its
too much work, just forget about it, there are more important things
to do, I guess ;)

:o there is ALL READY a post out there stating ideas and arguments over horses and teleportings.....

topiced TELEPORT SPELLS i think.
:biggrin:


1. Teleport spells are not needed. It is a small island.
2. Horses will be in if its nessesary. When the mapmaker is done, and a much larger land is created, there will be ways to aid in your travels such as horses.
3. DONT WORRY about them now:cheesy: , it isnt comming soon i do not believe.

Teleport spells always make any game world a lot smaller instantly, no matter how big it is.

Unless it is humongous, then there shouldn't be teleports, although other forms of travel may be appropriate (caravans, boats, etc...).

Just my opionion.

I'm not sure i like the idea of a teleport thing in illarion, merely due to the fact that the game is based on medieval times, nor do I like it as a spell. I remember once a mage hidden under a roof attacking everyone that walked past, and pking quite a lot of people, therefore the idea of him being able to teleport to another area of the game and avoid being identified is an almost horrific idea! The horses thing is cool though (even if many people have been talking about it in the past) but 1500g is maybe a bit too cheap, also there should be maintenaince costs, say 250g every month that could somehow be incorporated into the game.

horses  are  real, so wat you spend on them should affect how fast they acn move, or when they die. its not a machine that jsut need soem oil.but i think they should be very expensive, deoending on the age, breed, size and so such things. and a teleport  spell is no too great for the size of illarion i agree. but maybe a speed increase spell or something.
