| Summary | 0000006: Do not send ineffective monsters where the player is |
| Description | Cf. RGRD flamewar "Combat Realism vs. Playability" at http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.development/browse_thread/thread/2263b2828a6a5567/b88e480ef29246ea [^] .
While I don't mind effective armor in Zaiband (and thus the hp system is fine as-is), throwing known-ineffective monsters at the player is not particularly reasonable. This has two parts:
* accurate melee and ranged power rating (with feedback from the kill counts; breeders and group-generated monsters will need different rating heuristics)
* Actually using that power rating to determine whether the monster would even be sent into a DL.
This does not apply to initial level generation, only monsters spawned afterwards (reverse-Word of Recalled?). |
