neither of these themes is complete by their own. Why don't we combine them into a theme. It works like this. The Beast have strength of body, consume, protective plants and guarded plants. The plants serve support roles. The beast deal the dmg and consume the plants to keep up the fight. thoughts?
Different clans of beast interact differently with the plants. Here are some examples: Growth clan: focous on protecting and nuturing plants protective plant mass heal Rage clan: uses plants to fuel rage unleash Giant clan: use the plants to grow stronger Strength of body consume
two thoughts: 1) Why not put all that in one post? 2) Trying to get and support such changes with the big revamp incoming is kinda off. If we wanted this then we'd have to wait until the revamp is done.
I made amuch more detailed post here http://forums.poxnora.com/index.php?threads/fs-beast-and-plants.2603/
Since the faction bonuses are changing slapping nora miner on the FS plants was my solution to creating a viable theme and the nora gen FS loses after the revamp
I would suggest to remove the idea of clans. The Swamp in lore is a place where everything works together to protect life aka Nora. Perhaps maybe do something besides clans, because the swamp itself is a giant old clan On a side note, Wurms. What is the deal with those guys, I love them and all but race dragon? Why not race Wurm or even beast? Also the beat theme is getting loved, I believe a boghopper is gonna be reworked to be almost like a Skeez herder for FS. Just my two cents
The purpose of the clans were to describe how the beast nteract with the plants. for example: Cattle don't interact the same as bees The boghopper would fit in well with the template i'm trying to push for the theme
Senshu said that Bog Mentor might be getting boost beast 2, some sort of beast+ ability and probably drive or divert.
Well maybe they could have loyalty to a certain theme then? I like the idea of plants getting some add ons, but I think senshu winked at me that maybe next year they want to add on to the iffy themes in pox. Maybe Some beast partner up with Plants, others bogs, some snaps, some jellies. I do like the clan idea, but I think KF is getting something like that in the future and it could look to similar.
Ice Wurm (ST) is Beast! I would love that Elder Murkwurm (and other Wurms) would be Beast as well! or Beast, Mutant.
Many people have suggested Wilderkin be expanded and have a clan or a new race of spirit animals that are KF/FW be released with clan abilities.
You just see stuff around the forums. Some could be true, others just stories. You never know. Just forum gossip.
