Thanks Lion, but please don't quote full posts ;-)

And to get an idea of a full "white" stupa, here is one :

I'm not quite sure about the quad tree/octree thing. There might be a slight speed up which would be interesting to have. As Philip said yesterday on IRC, we must be wary of the cost of updating entities in the octree. This could get high. Perhaps we could rather use an octree/quadtree with some added pointers to their direct neighbors, instead of having to go the long way in some cases. Would be longer at initializing but probably faster later on. Basically we need to take into account that we're having an RTS with fairly small maps, not an FPS (for which octrees seem more fitting)

I was thinking 2x and 1.5x just to keep with the "primary counter & secondary counter" convention. If the attack is reduced the right amount, then they're just viable against their counters and slaughtered by anything else, which is probably what we want. I really don't think it'll take that much playtesting. Balance is important, even at this stage, but there are still many other things the team members want to add to the game, so they are very busy on those things, plus their own personal lives*.*This is really the biggest issue at the moment. Many of the chief developers have other distractions to contend with as far as I can tell, which is a big problem for a non-paid voluntary team like WFG.

Indeed. "Vegetarian tend to be healthier" is more like a wild guess then a evident fact. The problem starts with the vague word "healthy". What exsactly should that mean? Longer agerage live span compared to the average in general? More contented? Theres better evidence that food rich of proteines make you build mustles faster (That would be meat, eggs, milk products and some vegetarian products that are artificially made proteine rich). Iron rich food makes you feel more alive/active - you can actually sleep better (That would be some guts like liver or kidney and some vegetables like shugar beet sirup or pumpkin seeds). Vegeterian lipids are granting a slightly longer lifetime in average. But the best way to improof your life span is extreme abrosia - which conflicts getting tall and build mustles fast. Back than desease where quite often and more animals near the setlements meant a risen chance for that. So I don't think there are many good advices for food consumption fitting for everyone. However. IF any effect would be added depending on the food ratio for me it would be: - More meat -> more stamina (faster mustle gain) - More vegetables -> more health (reduced chance of desease)
