blandness in V (from DF forum)

[Diego Gonzalez]

When I was helping Jeff Greene to add new terrain types for NPP, I became aware that you get used to them really fast, specially if you play ascii. Because of that the first levels in NPP are quite plain, new terrain types have a progressive depth.

I find new room types a better way to break uniformity. Perhaps new terrain types could be added if the interaction with the player is interesting... and noticeable.

Diego--
The ice levels in NPP are good. And V needs corpse flowers, too.

Teleporting walls were useful sometimes. I think that adding a small set of interesting terrain features is nice, avoiding the introduction of complicated game mechanics as much as possible.

Just add all the terrain features, wilderness, and multiple towns, dungeons, etc., from FA. Problem solved and Nick wouldn't have to revise FA.

I think the plan for Beleriand is not so very different from what you describe.

Turns out it may be quite a lot of work, though.
