+ skeleton could be 100% immune to stuns again
+ cyclops damtype fear could be transferred to some race that actually
deserves it
+ replace lizardmans llisp fucking annoying shit to something else, its
already bad race enough to have the worst racial 'flavour' in game.. sorry for
whoever coded it, but i cannot be nothing else than honest.
+ satyrs, orcs, leeches and draconians could use some general minor uptune to
stats/exprate or so, not very popular races.
- remove duergars
- downtune elves dramatically, just do 'who race elf' and figure out the rest
- ducks, thrikhrens, ogres and gargoyles could be worse as well
- remove tinmens ep-cost suffeli, atleast disable it from hiking & worship
events. its already one of the hardest hitting races in game with all the
possible chocolate sauce on em.

prolly forgot lotsa things i had in mind, but you prolly wouldn't want to hear
them either so laters. -Nanna

Umm, why do you think elves need downtune? They've already been downtuned
recently. The only reasone people take them is because they don't get ancient
in a week. They have crappy wis and an even crappier spmax, not to mention
their 75% or something like that exprate.

Elves are clear exsample of racetuning which doesnt scare players away. Even
you
tune exp rate to 70% still players will play those, but when you give races
minuses like cyclops and wolfmen get, then practically noone will play em.
Racial diversity maybe, but unplayable to us players. Wonder how popular
ducks would be if their feathers would get on fire and make them wimpy
randomly
like cyclops and wolfmen?

Yes, they've been downtuned, so slightly that many people actually had to as
'have we been downtuned?' (...) Crappy wis? Superb sure is crappy. Better than
thrikhren & duck. Even crappier spmax? Well, granted perhaps, but not to
mention the age, skillmax, spellmax, hpmax, skill/spellcost, infra, "fast
enough" spr, outerworld special, go figure.

I'd say you have a phobia against elves! Give the treehuggers a break,
downtune ducks instead. Too much sp, too good stats and very friggin fast sp
regen.

I think the only reason why there is so much elves is the long lifespan.
Without it everyone would be duck, thrikhren, brownie or something else.

Ok, well. Maybe high skill- and spellmax has some effect also.

To quote a famous archwizard : 'Some races are better than others, some suck,
some not, its part of the game to find out' (not exact quote but you'll get
the idea :DDDDD)

But, in general I agree to the post, and I would really like to see more
STAT/EXPRATE/HPREGEN/EPREGEN/SPREGEN/NATURAL WEP/AC balance to the races
instead of shitty flee/take extradam etc more or less 'fuck you'-tunes :D

like, (this is an example, no need to do it while I'm a duck :D) its easy to
bring duck/thrikhren down a step by reducing their spregen by 2-3 points,
instead of adding some 'oh no, I'm a duck and I'm shot by fire, my feathers
are on fire and I've to flee - fuck its an big aggro mob on the next room and
I fled from flame arrow and died'-tuning

\o/
