You mean like very fast 'monsters' which must be hunted by a team?

How about deer that you shoot with the
bow, and you have to sneak up on them?

Deer, squirrels, chipmunks, and there is
always the possibility of hunting for fun,
like collecting the antlers on a large buck
to make an "antler helm" or something.

Yea another way to get food (especially for newbs)
i like that idea (and make sure to add the "hunting" skill that gives some xp, like fishing and farming)

Make really fast monsters (like speed 10+), give hardly any exp, maybe a bit more than bomys because they're alot harder to catch, and drop quite a bit of food each time to make it worthwhile, maybe they could zigzag and move randomly instead of just running in one direction so that you have to have a bit of skill to catch them. Maybe the peaceful animals would only be found on the kingdom isles?

That would be a great idea... kind of tired seeing just shell bomies when im messing around on kingdoms. Also there could be a reason for why there only on the Kingdom islands. Like because of all the Bomys on main killed all the peacefull animals off. Since that is where all the bomies are supposed to be... right?

I also just thought of this. When you kill a Lord, you know how it drops two items... you can take the 1 but the whole party thats hunting it can get the *special* item. Well make there *Monsters* drop like ribs or steak.... kind weird they would drop it already prepared... x-x but anyways lets not dwell on that. Make it so everybody hunting it can grab some

Actually, story-wise, there's not even a need for a main island. The bomys could be anywhere. I guess it makes sense though since a kingdom would clear the land of bomys if it were to live there.

But personally, I think it works better to have kingdom islands only. Bomys could be living around in between towns and such...just in the open areas as they do now, but on kingdom island. But I doubt this will ever happen. It would be interesting though. Each kingdom island could have its own place to level up...Maybe even have monster drops and stores be somewhat different in different kingdoms(not drastically to a point where you can only get something like diamonds on one island).

Something more like a trophy for in your house.

Bear Skins, Dear Antlers on the wall.

Because of the bear skin i thought of a fireplace. Bearskin in front of fireplace always has been nice XD And we need to be able to brew beer :o

That'd give a meaning to concealment, like when you use the skill, you get a speed of 0.3 or so, and you can't switch equipment, neither wear shield, helmet or mail. This way, you can approach a deer without frightening it, and kill it with a well-placed **** or, if you're coming from behind, a blow. There could be small animals which will run at speed 10 or so, or larger ones which will attack you quite hard, which would be larger, drop more food and maybe take 2 or 3 hunters... Being able to place traps for animals (nets or slings) would be nice, and crafting stuff for houses from the droppings would be fun, too.
Another idea, why have them drop items? make it so that you have to carry the corpse to a certain house (maybe 2 carrier for a big one, or 2 halves) where you can seperate certain parts from it, like legs, liver, heart, skin or antler...
