Sometimes, while sitting there waiting for my favour bar to fill, I often wonder how the devs would implement rivers and lakes into wurm.
Looking at wurm mechanics the basic components for fluid flow seem to be there (elevations etc), but any solution would be very server heavy.
There have been a few suggestions over the years:
But these have all been either limited or underthought in a mechanics sense.
What are people's thoughts on how fluids could be introduced to wurm in a more dynamic way? Has it been done really well elsewhere at all in a similar 2d environment? Is it possible without completely reformatting the way maps work?
