Hit and run possible to kill without need to defend.

Although it makes me really good, this needs to improved.

1) Attack some monster with 4 APs and flee with 6 APs
2) go to (1) until monster dies.

Improvements that could be done:
a) In 10-30% let the monster make the first hit of an attack initiated by you.
b) Let monsters decide more often to attack you if you are on an adjacent 
field. Currently I could do a dungeon by ignoring almost 50% of the monsters, 
because they are not agressive.
c) improve both ;-)

Implement Fog-of-war

Would be nice to be able to have some way per map to enable
and disable whether the user initially sees the whole map or need to
explore it to see it.

Have to attack some monsters twice

I cannot attack some monsters, because they tell me something. (for example "Go 
away")

I have to attack them a second time to actually attack them.
Could you provide a button "attack" to the message of the monster.

Its ok for bosses, but the monsters at the barn are annoying. There are around 
5-7 monsters that have to be attacked twice.

Balance the item store costs

Currently, all items have a fixed selling and buying price per item type that 
is defined in the item editor. These prices differ a lot, and currently feel 
like they are set rather arbitrarily.

I think we should look into getting some formula to calculate what the item 
cost should be, to make the item costs more consistent.

The parameters to weigh in when determining an item's cost are:
HP gain (potions)
Attack Cost AP modifier (or AP cost for weapons)
Attack Chance modifier
Critical Chance modifier
Critical hit multiplier
Damage potential (range)
Block chance
Damage resistance
Item type (weapon/wearable/potion/other)

Auto end combat

A combat should end automatically when I move out of sight of every monster.

Drag to equip

Currently you can only equip stuff by longclicking it or equipping from the 
item info screen. Would be nice to be able to drag items from inventory to 
equip. This could make it easier for some players to understand how to equip.

end combat button has no effect

When I am in an combat, on the top right corner is a button "end combat". 
Clicking it has no effect - the game says, that there are "adjacent monsters". 
Well - so a combat with an stronger enemy ends inevitable in death. VERY 
annoying! I would expect a chance to run away.

Introduce weight limit

You could introduce a "soft" weight limit by reducing available AP when 
carrying more items.

Perhaps it should only be reduced to 6 AP as you need 6 AP to move.
Perhaps this table should be a good base of the reduction:

items carried  AP
-------------  --
0-15           10
15-30           9
30-45           8
45-60           7
60-75           6

The items equipped are not "carried" ones.
There could be a skill improving the number of items carried

Multiplayer!

Things one could do with multiplayer:
 - compare game state (Hey I'm level 17)
 - bartering items
 - do fights together
 - or against each other (training or to play for gold / items)
 - communicate: "I'm stuck at quest x. Could anyone help me?"
 - ...

Just dreaming... ;-)

Item reward from quests

Rewards from quests can currently only be "keys" (used in other dialog or 
reaching certain map parts) gold or exp. It would be nice if a reward could be 
an item. This requires some change to the dialog system and possibly the dialog 
editor.

Either we could make it so that the reward is a droplist, or a specific item. 
Using a droplist whould probably make it more flexible since it could include 
several items and possibly a dropchance factor if required.

Add the possibility to find items in containers in the world

We should add the possibility of finding items in containers in the world. This 
could increase the importance of actually travelling to some maps and places.

I'm thinking we extend the map triggers to also include places where the player 
gets the result of a droplist. This way we can make the items random or 
predefined, and reuse the droplists (for "junk" containers etc.)

some thoughts about the game

Just some general thoughts:

Moving is sometimes a pain in the ass! I tap on a place, where I want to move 
to but nothing happens. Just because there is a tree in the way. I understand 
that implementing a pathfinder routine is rather difficult. But on small 
devices like smart phones an with rather inprecise touch screens I think that 
it is necessary.

Similar problem: moving "one screen up". The point where I have to tap is just 
one millimeter under the status line of the android system. Switching the game 
into full screen could help a little. But I think it would be better to switch 
a bit sooner to the next screen (not on the last tile but two tile sooner).

It would also be nice to show, if I can move "one screen further" or if I am at 
the end. Sometime I don't know if I can't move becouse there is an obstacle or 
becouse I am at the end of the screen.


Buying things would be much easier if I could easily compare the equipped item 
with the one in the store.

It would be cool to have a "quick use" button where I can put a potion or some 
food. Therefore if I need HP I don't have to tap through various menues.

Chance to hit monster should be nonlinear

The current combat system works roughly as follows:

1) Determine X = (attacker's attack chance) - (target's block chance)
2) Roll a 100-sided dice.
3) If the dice value is less than X, the attack is a miss.
4) Otherwise, it's a hit. Determine damage.

This can lead to situations where neither the monster nor the player can hit 
each other, which is frustrating for the players. This is a purely linear 
function on AC (attacker's attack chance) and BC (target's block chance). 
Instead, we should consider some nonlinear function to determine hit/miss 
depending on AC and BC.

See issue #19 for one suggestion of an asymptotic function.

What happens is that in landscape mode only, the full dialog is not displayed, 
and clicking next does not display the missing dialog.  No scroll ability is 
available.

Better way to determine amount of experience given from monsters

We should look into changing how to determine the amount of experience given 
from monsters. Currently, the amount of experience if purely determined from 
the monster type. Each monster type has a fixed amount of experience determined 
in the monster editor (more info on that editor soon).

One suggestion is to introduce an automatic function that determines the amount 
of experience given based on how tough the monster is. That way, killing 
tougher monster would automatically yield more experience without any need for 
manual adjustment in the monster editor.

I still want to keep the option of manually specifying the experience per 
monster type though. Bosses should give more experience than normal monsters, 
and "annoyance"-monsters should give less.

Place to store items that you want to keep

It would be nice if we had some place where the player can store items that 
should be kept. Either as a vault or "home" where the player can place items 
that will not be removed.

At the moment however, all items on the ground are stored in the savefile. So 
for now, any place will work :) But that might change in the future.

Items with passive- or skill modifying effects

1) Items giving HP
2) Items that give special bonuses if equipped together (boots, gloves, armor, 
helmet of the same type)
   example:
   10% AC if 2 are equipped
   20% AC if 3 are equipped
   40% AC if 4 are equipped (additionally to the block chance)
3) expensive Amulet of additional AP
4) speedy gonzales boots (reduced Move cost to 2 or 3 to escape)
5) amulet of XP multiplication
6) cheap but powerful items that could only be used for 3 levels (from the buy 
time on) - after it they are useless or loose power.
7) ring of getting more gold for monsters

Let monsters drop good items sometimes

Currently monsters do never drop any good items that I would consider to keep. 
(beside healing potions)

So let them drop items *sometimes* that are expensive and do not exist in shops.

minor grafic errors when move/attack

sometimes I get minor grafic errors when i am moving a bit ot attack a monster. 
it seams that the tile where i moved from gets copied to the target tile. the 
effect may be that i see my hero twice. or that a "grassland"-tile gets copied 
into a "wood"-tile. the effect is only temporarly - after the next move 
everything is okay.

i haven't found a relyable way to reproduce the problem, but it occurs only 
before an attack (until now...).

Implement a skill system

It would be really nice to have some skill system implemented for the players 
to gain advanced features. Every third level or so the player should be able to 
choose a new skill. Some skills should only be available when a certain level 
has been reached.

Ideas for skills to implement:
Increased weapon chance
Increased weapon damage
Better shop prices
Increased dodge chance
Damage resistance
Higher chance of critical hit
Higher multiplier for critical hit
More Action points per turn
More gold dropped from monsters
More exp from killed monsters
Cleave: When a monster has been killed, AP is restored to max
Corpse eater, +1hp for each kill
Berserker, better attack dmg when health <= 20%
Increased fortitude, gain +2hp every level up


Some work on the skill system has already started, but it needs to be 
completed. There are placeholder on the player object to store this 
information, but not a lot more has been completed.

When doing long battles, it should be possible to speed up the monsters'

Currently, you have to wait for the monster attack duration (or miss duration) 
to complete before either the monster or the player can attack again. When

Game displays too large area on tablets

When playing the game on an Android 7in tablet, the world view shows too much 
of the map. For example, in Crossglen you can see all the way from your house 
down to the smithy.

Displaying that much of the map causes the tiles to be very small, which makes 
it difficult to click as precisely as if the tiles are normal sized.

Instead, the display on tablets should be identical to the display on a smaller 
device, but just upscaled.
