I agree about the desirability of having the Nazguls appear as a more gradual threat (though I tend to dive fast enough that I avoid them at first and by the time I fight them they can all show up together). As for Tolkien lore, they were gradual in their pursuit of Frodo. If I recall, one went to Bag End, four were at the Brandywine, five were at Weathertop, etc.

“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

As for the Ringwraiths, here is my reasoning:- They were meant to be Sauron's most powerful servants
- The only one that was distinguished in any way was the Witch-King, so spreading them out seems artificial
- Uvatha is currently at the same level as spirit trolls
If anyone can point out the flaw in that, let me know
More generally, once I've had a go at all the monster bases, it will be time to assess how the overall balance is. Things may then get moved around considerably relative to each other. Some of the ideas I'm having may not be viable (wait until you see blood falcons...), but I figure better to throw them all out there and then moderate later.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Same error if I change the depth back again.
Windows 10 & notepad if it matters.
Ok, tested something. Opened it in notepad, changed nothing, hit save, same error.Last edited by wobbly; February 5, 2019, 12:37.Comment

Yes, notepad is not the editor you want for any sort of code. I have heard good things about notepad++ (and I have occasionally used wordpad successfully).One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Monsters lit or carrying light used to get a standard intensity of 2 (so they would light their own grid, and the grids immediately next to them). With the introduction of variable light intensities, I had the choice for each monster, and I basically went with- Really light intensive monsters (eg shimmering vortex) get an intensity of 3 (so radius 2)
- Monsters that carry light (eg apprentice) or are fire-based (eg fire spirit) get an intensity of 2 (radius 1, like the old monster lights)
- Monsters which are electricity based (eg energy hound) get an intensity of 1 (radius 0, but they are lit)
