Chariots

[FiveDisgruntledMonkeysWit]

We have massive war wagons, so we know wheels exist on Zalanthas. Why don't we have a chariot to drag a traitor's body through the streets with, or as a way for an A-class gladiator to go out in style?
Discuss.

[Marauder Moe]

How do you know we don't?

[Cale_Knight]

I've seen at least one chariot in-game somewhere.

[FiveDisgruntledMonkeysWit]

Sweet.
Well, then we need more.

[RunningMountain]

I'd like to see a few in the arena games. Actually I'd like to see way more PC arena games, re-open the Gladiators come on! I remember my mul way back when..

[Revelations]

They are available, it's likely just a matter of demand IG.

[Bogre]

If only we had some kind of gladiator server in which we could all log our gladiator chars on saturday...*dream*

[Agent_137]

it's called a H&S mud. there are lots of free ones. heh.

btw, if you're feeling spunky, the diku codebase -is- free. And somewhere (i don't recall where) you can download some old version of Shadows of Isildur diku code, which is similar to ours.

Be the change you want to see!

I rather have ..carts. kank carts, hand carts..etc

Incidentally, there are two codebases for download: the old one (circa late 2002) and the new one (circa New Year's 2005); the old is an extremely unstable alpha, and the new is a heavily MySQL-integrated codebase.

To complicated......spent half a hour studying CC++ didn't understand a bloody thing. Tried to create a mud......a utter failiure. No point in trying unless your uber clever. If you want to get into programming though Qbasic is a good start......I know a tiny bit of Qbasic, well did know......forgot everything apart from the few basic commands. Anyway back to topic. I supose chariots are rare and expensive.

[Larrath]

Chariots are probably rare for the same reason wagons are - they're extremely difficult to make without metal reinforcemence.
Chariots would be nice, but I'd also like to see some palanquins.  Four dwarven slaves and a large fancy box are probably cheaper than a wooden chariot anyway.

Also without metal reinforcement, they are probably not very useful in battles.  

There are chariots in Dark Sun setting though. If I am not mistaken, they are usually made from some creature shells. Probably again what Larrath suggests is true for such construction as well.
