Posted March 18, 2014 I think it would be cool to have a new item added called a sled. The sled could be hitched with up to 2 dogs, maybe 4. It could be a container and it's capacity is similar to what can be stored in a large chest. It could be faster than a large cart pulled by 2 horses ONLY if it is winter. If it is not winter then it is slower than a large cart hitched with 2 horses. Thoughts?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2014 This sounds fun, an interesting idea that I can't see having many complications, except for 2 key factors;1) Wurm has very limited resources, and I don't think this would provide much net benefit to the game, particularly because;2) Winter only makes up just over 1/12th of the year in Wurm, so for 11/12ths of the time, this item would be useless. Noone would breed dogs for speed traits for this short of a period.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 18, 2014 Increase the duration of Winter to be more equal to that of the other seasons and I would love this idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2014 Increase the duration of Winter to be more equal to that of the other seasons and I would love this idea. After some more thought on this I agree with the above. A longer winter would make this very tempting to pursue. Great feedback and discussion, another reason I enjoy this game and the community that comes with it!

Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) -1 to longer winter. Never, ever, ever.I would like a sled, maybe even snow dogs (huskies?) would be a "fun" addiction. But currently I (hate) winter. Edited March 18, 2014 by Druidnature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 18, 2014 I'm level 30 in Gardening, meaning I can simply hover over tiles to see if there are Flowers I'm nearing 50, doesn't help one bit. >_< we need to have some type of visual representing flowers on the snow tile. Even if it's a completely different flower, just something I can see without needing a game mechanic telling me it's there. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not much of a treehugger, and I got that out of reforesting, and I can't see what more uses that particular perk have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2014 Then why do we have that game mechanic in the first place?I'm not much of a treehugger, and I got that out of reforesting, and I can't see what more uses that particular perk have.Exactly. It was brought up a while ago to visually show flowers, farm tiles, sprouts on trees, ect better so we can visually see when things are ready to gather instead of needing to use a mechanic. Flowers without being seen... What point do they have? There flowers! But this isn't really the right thread to argue it, I posted in the other snow one why I dislike winter. And in sure not the only one, even if were a minority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farm tiles perk is from the farming skill. And now that I think it over, it kinda make sense to have the see flower perk if in winter they cannot be seen.

Lol There IS a visual representing flowers on a snow tile, a very obvious one. I'll take a screenshot later when I'm done tunneling, it looks like tufts of grass.

Posted March 18, 2014 There's no point when winter is short and has a decidedly visual-only impact on the game. I support both tweaking winter to be longer and come with minor gameplay adjustments (such as usage of sleds), but it seems few others do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
