| Summary | 0005593: Elemental migration tweaks. | ||||
| Description | The icicles in the desert that prompted 0005592 got me thinking about migrations and such, since it really doesn't make much sense for certain enemies to migrate to certain locales. Perhaps some regions (ice age, desert, lava, etc.) should have elemental attraction/repulsion values. Monster migration would be weighted by these based on the monster's elemental strengths/weaknesses. For example, a desert region might attract fire and repel water. Icicle leapers are weak against fire, so they'd be less likely to migrate to deserts. Monsters that are resistant to fire would be more likely to migrate. If the magnitude of the modifier is based on the magnitude of the strengths and weaknesses of the monster types, you'd get more migration among enemies that are more naturally suited to the environment and there would be fewer completely unsuitable migrations. This would decrease the elemental diversity of border regions a bit, but given the discussion in 0005589 I don't think that's really a bad thing. | ||||

I don't think that 0005589 has much bearing on this, based on the changes I plan to make there. I'm not really feeling this one, because it adds a ton of complexity that people just won't understand easily. |

Fair enough. I think it makes for a more natural-feeling world, but it does come with a complexity cost. |
