we need...monsters, cmon spread your ideas

Tails_night · #1 06-03-2006, 11:35 PM

This topic basically is about what you guytsmthink would be better additions to GK for monsters, types, and such. Like a while ago i posted about kingdom-exclusive monsters, since i noticed one of the problems is lack of variations within monsters, their difficulty levels, attack strength, and such, the majority is easily slain after a small time period. Anyone got any ideas???

I'm still debating on a few of these BUT I these are what i rumaged through my brain and thought of:
2 versions of Chimera angel and a devil

(Personally, a more beastly version of wolf for the wolves)

--Dragons(varying types)
((2nd note, for My sisters sake, she suggested that there should be enemy dragons and pet-like dragons, serve sorta the same premesis as horses, except last longer on les food, AND only have one designated owner, also ahve certain armor for dragons that gives em different abilities, it sounds ALOT like this show she watches, dragon booster))
Sorta tree-like enemy(can't think of the name for em)
Sharks(you slay em and the item is auto-added to inventory)

I think your thinking of Dryad, which is absolutely ridiculous. Dryad's are peaceful tree spirits, not demonic tree lords.

Sharks, I could see.

Dragons.... this is GK, not LoTR

...Okay, never said anything about PEACEFUL tree spirits, by some of the older hist of GK, these evil bomys posessed and controlled plants and animals..so why are the trees so peaceful??
second off dragons rule, unless their those cute, cartoony plagues, why mix em up with that LoTR crap???

Now this isn't JUST to critique some of the stuff i was thinking about but post some of YOUR ideas of good monsters.

Funny that so many people don't know about the monsters that were originally supposed to exist on Kingdoms...

i have submitted many monster ideas.
one of them were elemental ones.
example. if it were an ice monster it was immune to ice spells. fire would total it.

I've submitted ideas about winged monsters where you use a bow to fight it.
Or lure it on the ground by evading it's swooping attacks.
Sea monsters that harm your ship and you can fight back with spells or cannons.

But the staff got their hands full at the moment.
hopefully it will be done.
what we really need though is monster AI
All they do is fight you and either kill you or die.

If they actually retreated when low on hp, call for help and so on it would make the game interesting. Of course we'd need more items that are fairly decent just for the new players because it would be unfair on them, but it means they'd have to travel in a party to level up.

Ok. So you decided what he was talking about, and then yelled at him for what you assumed he meant? Wow. Good job.

There are tons of dragons in LoTR. Actually, there are none. There is one in The Hobbit, perhaps that is what you're thinking of.
On another note, Tolkien, believe it or not, did not invent the dragon. You're attempt at elitist idea hatred was a complete failure.

Funny, because Ents fit very well into GK, and were supposed to, as a matter of fact. And they have a place where they can belong, thankfully.

The Hobbit yeah, but not LoTR.

Golems, centaurs, undead zombies, treants, ghouls, demons, dragons. kthxbai

The Hobbit

Prequel to the LoTR series.

An intelligent person would hardly consider a calm phrase 'yelling' at anyone, but, then again, that's the problem.

Draenin · #11 06-04-2006, 06:00 AM

There is a way to yell without actually yelling. It's called having harsh undertones.

Megaphones work better.

Tails_night · #13 06-04-2006, 07:11 AM

Oh yeah Minotaurs

For those with small voices and minds, perhaps.

In text, the following:

is about as harsh as one can be. But a nice attempt at ignoring the part of my post that actually mattered.
That'd be the part where I show how you put words in another's mouth and then chastized him for 'speaking' them.
