Re: Warsim, text based randomly generated stratogy
one thing I think would be cool to flesh out the arena a bit would be to have more customized attack play-by-play.
What I mean by that is that different kinds of creatures would have some special attack and defense texts because sometimes they don't really fit. When you have an evolved wolf using weapons, a four-legged animal cracking someone on the top of the head, or spellcasting races never using magic, It breaks some of the imagination there.
Most of the typical attacks and such should remain, but here are a few suggestions to make arena battles more immersive.
1. beast races should be described biting, clawing, or otherwise using their natural weapons.
2. spellcasting races should use magical effects to defend and attack in battle.
3. large races should use more devastating-sounding attacks and defenses, for example, crush, slam, and bash should be used in things for giants, ogres, trolls, and other big races.
4. vampires should use vampire abilities in combat
5. races that are assumed to be able to fly should be described in various moves in the battle as doing so.
6. some of the non-combat stuff that happens in the battle such as shaking hands should be altered for some races to fit them better, such as goblins should scream or jabber, gnomes and elves might dance or chuckle, dwarves might take a drink or shout a clannish warcry, beasts scratch themselves or roar, and so on.
By and large, the current arena stuff doesn't need changing, just put in some extra more thematic stuff when certain creatures are fighting.
