Re: Oly: changes in G2 From: srt@sun-dimas.aero.org (Scott Turner) Date: Wed, 04 Oct 1995 00:00:00 +0000 Here's some changes I'd like to see: (1) Fix the combat system. This went around and around on the defunct Oly design mailing list, but I think most players are in agreement that the combat system is broke. (2) Add an anonymous mailing capability, so that I can send mail from one of my nobles to another noble *without revealing myself*. It's a simple addition and one that I think adds to the roleplaying capabilities. (3) Make the world more difficult to explore. Reduce or eliminate scrying. Make sublocation ids non-sequential (*). (4) Inject some more rare resources and make them important to power-gaming. In G1, only mithril and gate crystals are really rare, and they don't play any role in most factions' plans. To be a powerful anything (mage, thief, beastmaster, weaponmaker, etc.) ought to require obtaining some rare, difficult resource. -- Scott T. (*) My vote for silliest feature in G1. Referenced By Up
