Its not really a "nightmare" to code, but currently the map information required doesn't exist. Someone would have to map all the area's that should be frozen, ship routes would need to be expanded so they know if they pass through one of these frozen zones and hey presto. Something similar could be done for marching over the rivers. However I doubt that adding what amounts to dynamic travel path information is going to get much priority.

Actually...yes. Yes, it would be. Even with the appropriate map information, having routes between regions that changed periodically would require massive, wide-reaching code changes.

Considering our current travel mechanism, it would be a sizeable overhaul.  Remember the 10 year old codebase that Tom's talking about?  He's not joking. ;)

So, for someone like myself who knows nothing about coding, does this mean the codebase has stuff that is like.... era windows '98 essentially? Cause that's awesome. We should starting marketing the game to the whole retro-indie crowd.

This food issue isnt going to end is it?
We live lives in beautiful lies...

When the entire island is reduced to subsistence-level farming.

By looking at the stats, I don't actually see the 25% increase. Hasn't it been long enough?

Indirik

Stats are delayed 7 days. When was the change made? Also, weather changed about the same time, I think, and several realms, especially in the southwest, are in drought conditions now.

A couple weeks ago this was fun now its getting ridiculous. Perhaps monster attacks should also be increased during this time?

Rather just have a daimon invasion and wipe the entire island out. It would be better than destruction-by-starvation.
