Houses under water?

[Fanomatic2000]

I don\'t know if somebody have already thought about this but..

I think races like Nolthrir should be able to live under water in houses or caves.
They could live in gigantic underwater cities where they grew seaweeds and hunted sharks. I think it would be great. Then you could ride on gigantic sea-horses and search for treasure in underwater caves.
(Ok, I know it\'s a lot of work, but it would be fantastic)

I know its a long shot, but I like this a lot. Maybe sometime in the future we will se this. I think under water things are hard, but some have done it well. I keep seeing the sceene from Phantom Menace where they dive into that lake and see the city. (shivers) It would be fantastic, but quite hard to make I think.

[Fanomatic2000]

Yes, I had that scene in mind too  
But I don\'t think it would be too hard to do
(if underwater-elements IS a feature).
To go one step further, how about gigantic floating fortresses?
Perhaps gigantic flying cities with hundreds of people living in it? (I know I\'ve gone too far, but it\'s just a thought  :] )

For the first idea it could work but I don\'t think that anyone wants a polluting city in their only water reservoir.
And since the planeshift world is located in a cave floating cities would not be useful (besides how would they get them there in the first place?)

[Fanomatic2000]

I didn\'t understand the first thing you wrote about that waterreservoir ?(
Well anyway...
You\'re right about the flying fortresses. It\'s not a very good idea now that I think about it  .

By the water reserve he means, We don\'t want to drink and bathe in water that people are living in and polluting, putting their trash in and stuff.

[Fanomatic2000]

The underwater cities should be located deep inside underwater caves. The water will not become polluted. :rolleyes:

[FMiddy]

underwater cities might not be that bad, you it could be sort of like an advantage for underwater races that could make it more fun, and a way to make it more interesting, the pollution does happen, but, you could make quests or just an everyday task, to clean the water to keep your underwater city from becoming polluted, also, for flying races, the map could have upper area caves where the flyers could live, and also for the elves with good sight in the dark, underground caves, and for the humans or people who dont want any of the others, the city, there could be advantages and disadvantages to all of these, and this just makes choosing your race that much more interesting....

This comes straight from the settings section of our webpage.

The great amount of time spent working underwater and the unique altering properties of the Crystal, have created, after many centuries, an amphibious race, with webbed fingers and both gilled and pulmonary respiration. Nolthrirs appear as slim elves, with skin and hair colored from azure to green, and icy eyes colored from light azure to light green. They tend to be hairless on the body, but everyone, males and females have very long hair. They live mainly on the two submerged levels.

The quietness of the underwater life with its soft rumors and dimmed lights is reflected in Nolthrirs way of life.

The seventh and eight level, both usually submerged, host the Nolthrir, an Elven race who have been attending the seaweed for thousands of years. With the influence of time and the Crystal, the Nolthrir evolved into an amphibious species, which enabled them to remain under water for long periods of time.

Sorry FMiddy, but I don\'t think there will be any flying races in PS
I like the idea about cities and buildings that can only be accessed by a specific race thought )
If we\'re lucky the developers might change their mind and solve the problem with flying races (which I think would be cool), however it\'s hard to create a balance between flying and ground races.

Klyros can fly.

[Fanomatic2000]

No, Klyros can\'t fly. They can just glide for short distances.

[FMiddy]

ok, wasnt sure about that Klyros thing, thought they could fly, hmm, well what about flying animals...I thought they were going in, or where those mainly for non-travel type things...

edit: well, it says they CAN fly for a SHORT time..... and ya, they do have flying animals for travel, so the upper homes could be for the really good players... and kylros if they can fly high enough...so, handled my own questions, so... more opinions on my idea... also, sorry about not paying attention the the things on the site, I have gone through and read it all, but it was a while ago, and my memory tends to fail me a lot....  

[boonet]

You can also ride pterosaurs and megaras, and those definitely fly, if gliding is not enough

[Fanomatic2000]

That\'s sweet
