Summary0005926: Should Clay be required by all long-range spells?
DescriptionThis idea was taken from the forums (http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,9730.0.html), and it got me thinking... Right now, clay is a requirement for all long-range spells. However, since everything is procedurally created, it's theoretically possible to generate a continent without a townhouse (or, for that matter, an abandoned town) in it, meaning you'd never be able to advance beyond tier 1 in long-range spells. Sure, you'd still have short-range spells, but I doubt people are keen on taking on giant skelebots with Fire Touch, or even Death Touch. Perhaps some spells should require another commodity than clay?

Clay should also be findable in other types or buildings, that was just the most obvious example to give that new player.

Josh, can you confirm other building types with vases, and make sure that enough region types have it?

As an aside, abandoned towns are in fact guaranteed on the first continent. The first six super region types are always the same in order to prevent impossible starts.

I should've been more clear that it was the unlocking I meant, heh. I've gotten vases from other houses than townhouses, so that part's not a problem. And if there's a guaranteed townhouse in one of those abandoned towns, then nothing more needs doing!

Chris, yeah, there are, I think, four region types that spawn clay.

That said, it looks like there isn't any reason to keep this one open.
