Diagonal Fences, Kite, other ideas

[koroth 240]

had a few ideas i'd like to share and get feedback on:

 

Diagonal Fences - This would allow fences to follow along diagonal roads, and keep from seeing the annoying jagged fence line.

 

Kite - new craftable item for the toy making skill, and also if string breaks, someone chopping down a tree may have a small chance of finding one when felling a tree...  

 

Animal Tags - Would allow animals to be labeled to aid in breeding identification, and reduce inbreeding when animals can't be named (probably use number system)

 

Camping Tent - A portable, one tile building made from string, shafts, and cloth. can't be locked, but still managed by a writ. would enable temporary securing of movable items until more permanent home can be found.

 

Building-to-building Bridges - as an add-on to the Bridge feature, enable the creation of them from upper tiers of a building to allow for travel across tower sections. Could require single building structure, or allow expansion to separate buildings. Would always limit to one tile width...

 

 

Just a few ideas Awen and I came up with... Let us know what you think!

Diagonal Fences - I fear this may play havoc with tile borders and lead to huge issues when passing them

 

Kite - Sounds really cool, and easily made, might mean a new skill though which might cause issues

 

Animal Tags - There are several ideas out there (i.e. name pools like horses) that do the same thing, and with upwards of 10k animals thats a lot of numbers.

 

Camping Tent - It's been stated before that no item providing a moveable home or sleep bonus while travelling will be implemented, it doesnt fit witht he developers ideas. Large carts can be locked in order to secure any items, and moveable items consist of basically carts.

 

Building-to-building Bridges - I believe this was mentioned as possible in one of the bridge updates, would have to double check.

 

Some cool ideas, and most have been brought up before, have to see how it goes though

I like the kite idea, especially if you can visually do tricks (like the yoyo has messages) and it be affected by wind strength and direction

I was thinking something similar to branding... An item you can create to tag each of your personal animals so you can label them as you wish. this way only the ppl interested in naming/tagging their animals could do so without flooding the server with more information. if a new animal is born to tagged animals, the tags are added to the parental description to help identify the parents better.
