KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN IGG MAC

And Spike traps where a pawn falls into a hole and can climb out if still healthy enough, if not they will need help out or die falling outright. Possibly intangible torches on top of walls that only produce light on either side given there isn't a roof. This would open up possibilities like you could also add a two tile over hang that needs a wall on either side that archers can shoot down through but melee attackers cant attack through and items like boulder traps and boiling oil that can sit on walls. Pawns cant stand on roofs but can break through them to jump down into the room given the right tools. How about on walls you can build a platform and/or battlements that a pawn can stand on for better range and protection without being able to build objects on these platforms, pawns can only get up if they have a ladder or staircase installed but can jump down anywhere. The pawn would be on the same plane but their sprite would overlap the wall. Instead of either having everything on one plane or all on multiple planes how about everything stays 2D but some objects can be stood on giving the illusion of being higher. 'You must live with the consequences, and be damned by them.I believe i might have a compromise for your Z-Axis problem. Your decision alone, Paulus Atreides.' Her voice was frighteningly cold. 'Still it was your own decision, despite my warnings and despite my advice. 'Remember your rock collection? You and I are going to dive for coral gems.' On my honor and my word - there was no choice.'įinally, as Rhombur looked on with curiosity and trepidation, Leto clapped him on the shoulder. But local coral gems were lovely, nonetheless. Because of the hazards and expense of containment, the gems did not support much of an off-world export market, given the more viable alternative of soostones from Buzzell. Coral gems were said to hold tiny living creatures that caused their inner fires to dance and simmer. These precious stones, found in knobby coral reefs, were popular pieces on Caladan, but perilous to handle. Rhombur soaked up the experience of water and wind and sun, smiling. The Prince of Ix stood at the bow while Leto worked the controls. If you've never had paradan fresh from the sea, you're in for a taste treat.though the fruit's a bit salty for me.' 'If you want one, just reach over the side and take it. Looking overboard, Rhombur saw rafts of leathery-leafed seaweed and round gourdlike fruits that held up the plants like air bladders. Unsettled, Leto crept away, his question forgotten, without waiting to see how soon they extinguished the lights. She would probably appreciate it either way. With the wealth of House Atreides, he could afford to buy Rhombur's sister many greater treasures if he wished, but the gift might mean more if he procured it himself. Leto thought he wanted to give one to Kailea as a present. That choice will cost you and our House dearly.' 'You're the one who has made a choice here, Paulus. She lashed out at him with such vehemence that Leto took a silent step backward in surprise out in the shadowy hall. As the mariner assistants cast off the lines, one asked, 'You can handle this yourself, m'Lord?' An Atreides burgee flew from the stern, snapping in the breeze. 'See those crannies and tiny caves? That's where you'll find the coral gems.'Īfter all preparations were completed, he and Rhombur boarded the wickerwood coracle. 'Look at this,' he said, letting his friend view the screen. 'You must live with the consequences, and be damned by them.'Īfter the coracle was secured on its anchor cord, Leto pointed a scanner overboard to map out the contours of the reefs below. The focus is on having a deep simulation of characters and their behaviour as well as the world and environment they inhabit. Players take charge of a group of settlers founding a new colony, planning out work to be done and designing the rooms and structures that make up a burgeoning society.

'Now it's my turn to show you around Caladan.' King under the Mountain is a simulation-based settlement-building strategy game set in a fantasy world, for Windows, Mac and Linux. 'A perfect day,' Leto said, realizing that his friend was homesick for the lost underground city of Vernii, probably tired of too much weather.

The ocean spread out like a blue-green prairie, curving off to the distant horizon. THE NEXT DAY, a calm and sunny morning, Leto stood next to Rhombur at an open window, admiring the quays at the base of the promontory. They are what they are, and I can't hate them for it.' Do you think they've ever held the Orange Catholic Bible? It's not their fault. 'The children can't help who they are, Paulus - they didn't ask to be born there, raised there, exposed to anything but proper teachings.
