Vox Nihili: May 28, 2008

The six battle royale entrants are:

Name: Podima
User: Biggs Manfighter
Race: Dwarf
Weapon: Mace

Name: Grodimus Thunderbeard
User: Snake Fist
Race: Elf
Weapon: Long Sword

Name: Atom Ant in Adamant
User: Jazzimus Prime
Race: Soldier Ant Woman
Weapon: Flail

Name: Dies Horribly
User: rickvoid
Race: Goblin
Weapon: Pick

Name: Crotch Rot
User: Smarms
Race: Kobold
Weapon: Short Sword

Name: Binary Mary
User: ThCawdor
Race: Soldier Ant Woman
Weapon: War Hammer

All other information will be released after the battle concludes. Still hoping to run it tonight, although I've run into a snag with the raws. My initial understanding was that high strength worked to reduce a creature's movement speed, and I assigned raws with that in mind. However, higher strength actually seems to add speed, which results in the big tough guys being quicker than intended. I'm still working to balance the whole thing out.

I made a changed to my creature_arena.txt for now. I added cows back in, on the off chance that leather has different stats depending on the creature it's made from. (Doubtful, but with Toady you never know. Not to mention the source of the leather does matter in real life.) Cows have [ARENA_RESTRICTED] so you can't fight against them...though you could always remove the tag if you want to have epic cow battles.

Vox Nihili: May 28, 2008

OK, I finished messing with the raw stuff. Here are the new raws!

Here are the new creature speeds, which will be added to the OP when I get a chance:

code:

final

gremlin  1129               
dark gnome 1077            
kobold  1153                 
strangler  1029             
serpent man 992             
ant woman 1018               
dwarf 952                   
elf 1048                    
goblin 996                  
human 977                   
molemarian 956              
tigerman 952                
werewolf 1000               
minotaur 941                
troll 936                   
yeti 917

As you can see, the little guys get the edge they were intended to now, at least in this department.

Notes for 2nd round of adjustments:

Agility Changes
werewolf + to 0
ant woman 0 to ++
kobold fixed typo in value (large boost)
minotaur - to --

Strength Changes
gremlin 0 to +
dark gnome + to ++
human 0 to +

Toughness Changes
dwarf + to ++ (they seemed uncompetitive for their weight class after changes)

Earlier speeds, before first and second round of adjustments, for comparison:

code:

gremlin  1103
dark gnome 1048
kobold  998
strangler  1029
serpent man 992
ant woman 868
dwarf 952
elf 1048
goblin 996
human 965
molemarian 955
tigerman 952
werewolf 1064
minotaur 981
troll 999
yeti 979
