    Animals?

    I recently came across some 'RagDolls' and Labradors. I would suppose these are going to be some of our trainable pets?

    I wonder what use there is for a Hamster?

    Electricity...

    All I've seen in a while is bears. Seeing a lab would be cool.

    Wonder if there will be any Elk out there.

    In a pack I am sure hampsters would be a formidable force

    When are animals going to be more realistically scattered? Because I can walk for hours and find none.

    Try walking in a forest. You'll be surpirsed for how long you can walk inbetween an animal sighting. This game is just -that- realistic.
    Besides, have you ever stopped to consider that there are loads of animals, you just can't spot them ?

    Some good pointers to animals are;
    Stay away from very crowded tribe areas.
    Mountains provide good cover for animals, with a keen eye you usually spot something grey'ish/brown'ish moving about.

    In the end you don't want realistic scattered animals, you want a statistically scattered animals or each zone having a set number of animals. It just doesn't work like that in our World. You can walk for hours. Without seeing anything.

    Realistic? You mean if this was Monopoly, you'd wait the three months to build a house? A year to build a hotel? Really? I live in the mountains, in a forest, in real life. I see stuff all the time. There are ALWAYS birds singing, even at night sometimes (the rascals). Coyotes howl, I see rabbits, and deer every day. Elk too. I never see a bear, in years.

    From my point of view, the animals that exist are placeholders, and cannot be considered as part of any real game. The animals sure don't act realistic. No coyote would ever attack a person, unless it is rabid.

    If you want an example of superior animal AI in a sandbox, look at Ryzom. The animals migrate in herds, based on the seasons. Predators stalk and kill prey, and sleep and den when they aren't. Little Yubos will come up to you, sniff, and then pee on your leg! Compared to this, Xsyon animals are dumb plastic cutouts with no brains.

    Is that a promise?
    I foresee an event in the near future where packs of hampsters (or should that read 'hampers'?) roam the tribalareas, causing havoc among unsuspecting peaceful crafters!
