Return of Zorbis

[JeffTL]

The zorbis'd be simple...slow humans down on land, speed up on water (though not quite a bomy)...and restriction as to hand color and heads. I ought to try to do it one of these days...maybe diving could be added at sites beyond diving sites...


ADDITION: This is post 1337 to this forum.

sound like some kind of mutant race =P

[JeffTL]

Play Classic...there are Zorbis there, though not playable. So the basics of the race are already measured...and their fast waterspeed must be balanced with slightly slower landspeed...but fear not, they won't be as bad in that regard as bomies. As for hearts, the Human Heart and the Fish Heart will do...unless some underwater heart could be added just for Zorbis, or maybe they collect heras.

Well if you don't mind making an entire new world map just for underwater, sure...^_^

I think it'd be cool if the Humans need to recover the lost Zorbi Ring in G2K1 to do the same thing as in Classic, but the Zorbis need to recover the lost Human (warp) ring to go above the surface. Heh heh heh.

[JeffTL]

Well, if Zorbis are still Zorbis, they should be able to surface...but be a tad slow and easily injured, but alas, a Zorbi Ring would be a good idea. It'd basically be a Classic Zorbi Ring, works the same way (adds or removes uw from the #l) and zorbis have it built in. Of all the race proposals, for some reason this seems most plausible. An archeological site would be necessary, of course...maybe an "Ancient" (READ: CLASSIC) Graal map without annotations and a note saying the Ring is buried under the Moon Tower or somewhere...leaving the player with the challenge of finding said Classic location.

[JeffTL]

And furthermore...if they needed to use the Warp Ring, wouldn't it take them to where Level 13 would be? Assuming Tyealia was the Angel cloud and Bogenera is Nearorner...that would put Graal City right where the moon fell. Would not do. :)
