HEY MATT HEY MATT HEY MATT.
Can we make display like a cheap, less effective low-level horns?
I'm still desperate to get display in somehow.
--==THIS NEXT SECTION IS PROBABLY BULLSHIT==--
You know how IC defines defense as shells etc., but also the creature's ability to avoid attacks?
Well... I don't know... Can we implement "Dodge" as a passive ability, which merely raises defense, but is applicable for creatures like panthers... And make it so Display is effective against dodgers, while horns is effective against thick skins and shells? Thus adding another level to a game which is... A bit shallow.

This also means you can have some interesting low-tier battles-- Caterpillar-heads vs mountain lions, etc.
This also makes beasties like mountain lions a bit more useful. And we can give things like good ol' mister garfish dodge as well as conventional high-ish defense (from the thick skin) making it cool against both display and horns (well, relative to other high def-ers).

Ooh and... Could we... Make it so that it stacks? So that, say, we had a peacock spider, with display on the tail, and a skipper caterpillar, with display on the head, and the displays stack, meaning that a creature which is two bugs mixed together (i.e., shit) is actually functional as a glass, or a meatshield-nommer?
That last bit's probably impossible.
Actually fuck it it's all probably impossible.
Actually you'll probably just not like it all again. V.v.

Zomfg... You know how, with speed, when you have land speed and waterspeed, the speed display changes?
Like, if something has 19 land speed and 18 water speed, the speed display reads:
19/18 SPEED (km/h)
WEELLLL...
Can we change the "DEFENSE" part of the stats to "DEFENSE / AGILITY" and then have the defense display as something similar, with agility as a separate stat?

Matt says it's impossible. Comments?
Do you think the idea is sound?

We can't do it unless we can get the sourcecode, though V.v.

Yes indeed. I'm talking to the General Manager at Relic, hopefully he'll show the goowdill to lend it to us.

I hope that he'll help. IC is abandonware.

Did you tell him they have nothing to lose? Did you tell him that he should act like a gamer doing stuff for gamers rather than beinga manager stealing stuff from gamers?
Guilt. It does work.
