Heros arrive to take on the dragon.. A dragon is defined as a creature that eats large amount of meat, prefers mountain habitat, lairs in caves, defends his territory, and is fairly aggressive; plus he likes gold. Oh yeah, and he can fly. Plus you toss on the usual bunch of stats and stuff. But the important part is defining those characteristics: what does he eat? Where does he live? What does he like and dislike? Given a spawn system, doesn't matter what it is, you'll get a dragon. </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00400.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Graphic MUDS/perspectives</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00402.html">[MUD-Dev] Reputation, was butthead features</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00431.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Reputation, was butthead features</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00400.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Graphic MUDS/perspectives</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00401"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00401"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] Reputation, was butthead features</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00407" HREF="msg00407.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Reputation, was butthead features</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Wed 06 Aug 1997, 09:41 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00411" HREF="msg00411.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Reputation, was butthead features</A></strong>, Koster, Kristen <a href="mailto:kkoster#origin,ea.com">kkoster#origin,ea.com</a>, Wed 06 Aug 1997, 21:30 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00419" HREF="msg00419.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Reputation, was butthead features</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Thu 07 Aug 1997, 00:43 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00431" HREF="msg00431.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Reputation, was butthead features</A></strong>, Adam Wiggins <a href="mailto:nightfall#user2,inficad.com">nightfall#user2,inficad.com</a>, Fri 08 Aug 1997, 17:15 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00401" HREF="msg00401.html">[MUD-Dev] Ultima Online/Generalized AI</A></strong>, Koster, Raph <a href="mailto:rkoster#origin,ea.com">rkoster#origin,ea.com</a>, Wed 06 Aug 1997, 02:13 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00400" HREF="msg00400.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Graphic MUDS/perspectives</A></strong>, Koster, Raph <a href="mailto:rkoster#origin,ea.com">rkoster#origin,ea.com</a>, Wed 06 Aug 1997, 01:58 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00406" HREF="msg00406.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Graphic MUDS/perspectives</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Wed 06 Aug 1997, 09:34 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00397" HREF="msg00397.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Sparse Arrays and co-ordinate based worlds</A></strong>, Cynbe ru Taren <a href="mailto:cynbe#laurel,actlab.utexas.edu">cynbe#laurel,actlab.utexas.edu</a>, Wed 06 Aug 1997, 00:26 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00422" HREF="msg00422.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Sparse Arrays and co-ordinate based worlds</A></strong>, Michael Hohensee <a href="mailto:michael#sparta,mainstream.net">michael#sparta,mainstream.net</a>, Thu 07 Aug 1997, 16:08 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
