Cats???

#1 Post by Sradac »

A thought just occured to me...there are NO cats in ToME is there? No big cats like lions, tigers, lynx, leopards, cheetahs, cougars? No small wild cats either?

DG must have something against Felines.

I think they could work and add a bit more flavor to some of the zones, mountain lions or snow leopards in daikara anyone?

Right now theres only a few certain enemies that seperate old forest from daikara, snow giants being the most obvious one. Other than that they seem to share the same enemy list.

Wow...I'm surprised no one noticed/brought this up before.

Yeah, big cats would definetely be a good addition - especially if implemented to have a specific AI and maybe use stealth.
And I'm sure Shockbolt would come up with some kick-ass tiles.

Oh, and there likely are other real-world animals that are missing and 'deserve'being. I'll mention boars, which I think would fit in the Mire/OF. Would be particularly nasty if they got the Rush talent :twisted:

If it is a cat, then it must be small, cute, and follow me around.
And possibly also make purring sounds.

Perfect example of how a cat should be in games: See Chrono Trigger.

And breed explosively, slowing the game to a crawl?

This level somehow seems to be removed from the rest of the world.
