Day 694 - War is coming.

[F0lak]

Today after a few hours of work I made something great that I know you will all love. In the next update of Hazordhu there will be AI. Using a completely new system and not taking anything from Kaio's Animal system I made up Race Guards.

What are Race Guards? Well they're NPC fighters that will attack anyone who isn't a member of their race. So a Human NPC would attack an Elf or Orc. These guys aren't smart enough to open doors yet, but they can shoot bows and chase you down.

To spawn a Race Guard just right click a flag belonging to your race. If you right click an enemy flag you'll spawn an enemy NPC. Each flag can spawn only one NPC every year, the ability being reset at the end of each winter.

The way they stand now, NPC's will make the game a lot more race-related, forcing players to cut back on multiculturalism. I feel that this hurts the basic RP behind the game, as you would never see an Orc in a Human town being friendly to outsiders, as Orcs are by nature aggressive and sceptical of outsiders; not to mention unwaveringly loyal to their kin.

The Day/Night system has been removed due to some bugs in it, and Magic has been postponed, if not cancelled. I am however working on adding in a basic boat system, to allow players to travel across the water without having to build a bridge. With the boat system would come a Northern Coast, a few areas of Ocean, and the world becoming round, rather than flat. Huh. Sounds like something that happened here on Earth.

I hope to have a server up as soon as possible, and that you will all enjoy these new NPC's. I'll do more work on them in the future to allow Guilds more control over their NPC's, but the basic race NPC's will remain racist and prejudiced against all outsiders.
