I've been following this conflict silently for some time now, but as a matter of conscience, it is important that I take the time to voice my support. I have been hesitant to do so both because I try to post only if I think what I have to say contributes positively to the discussion and because I do...

As cool as the sequel idea would be, is it worth all the extra maintenance? Those hellish updates where you had to fix *everything* would be twice as bad, and you losing your desire to maintain either mod would be tragic. If you're confident that it won't be an issue, I'm all for the sequel mod :) ...

One other "sub-option" I'll mention that I've been considering. If I go the Return To Home route, I've been considering an option that will allow players to just start there. So, for those of you that have developed worlds that you want to hold onto, you can do so, and for those that just...

I worry that this would either consume development time, or, if ignored, compromise the sense of coherency that makes Better Than Wolves so ...

Not all of them.

If there were one mob I would like to see added to the game, it would be alligators. I like the "Gator Cavalry" concept. It seems like it could really add something to gameplay, and your ideas for the mechanics of it seem reasonable -- if you want to convince the gator to go long distances...
