Healing wands, my friends, or something rechargeable. Amulet that gives an aura of health regen, etc. If you're spreading healing apparatus among your troops, probably better to go for dedicated healers among the soldiers, equipped with methods to heal many over a period of time instead of just one, once. Healing potions for everyone would be horribly inefficient when you could train 1/10 or 1/20th of your army as dedicated medics and give them the tools to do their job well.

... which leads to the question of item enchantment and creation. Any words on this? Will we be able to make battle standards that offer regeneration and flaming weapons to nearby troops? Will kamikaze (explode-on-death) items be makable? Will we be able to combine that with a slave collar to send our enslaved foes screaming toward their former allies as living artillery (possibly catapult delivered)? Slap a band of regeneration on a captured dragon and repeatedly skin it for armor material? Teleporting arrows? Teleporting kamikaze slave goblins?

The list could go on, and on, and on, but being that it's an army-leading game, the existence (or lack thereof) of force multipliers would be particularly interesting. I want that battle standard. I want everfilling pots of troll blood to dip my terribly injured warriors in. I want dragon heads on sticks, breathing unending gouts of flame on my foes. I want enemy-targeting kill-switch enchantments on my commanders, to spew arcs of lightning on their murderers, and then consume the commander's corpse and resurrect it as a lightning elemental to further wreck havoc upon my opponents. Stuff like that

+1 keen is fine for solo buggers and small parties, but epic armies need epic kit!

1. Enjoyable for a playthrough (read: Getting everything) or two. Moreso if you're into the whole construction thing. It's worth the normal price, definitely worth $4.
2. Hasn't been very actively lately (I don't think, I haven't been very active myself), unless there's a server beyond Kael's that's got folks visiting. Activity will probably see a massive spike around the end of next week

Nothing. We'll scrape together what we can with our own hands and hard work.

And fire.

That's th'answer, by th'way. Slime gel. All the slime gel you can carry. We got unicorns to burninate.

... mages get a campfire spell? Host of survival-related utility spells would be kinda' awesome. Makes sense that a mage with two braincells to rub together would come up with some comfort providing magic at some point or another.

That's another one of those near-immersion breakers, actually. Bugger can spew fiery death over a mile radius of countryside, but not light a campire? What? Did I take a idiot-savant flaw for destruction magic at some point?

Did you know there are 6,230 google hits for phallustopia, when I just searched for it? I was expecting the word to be somewhat more rare than that.

That NPC hint thing wasn't really necessary. Aside from their prerequisites, all they need is a chair, table, door, a torch, and a completely manmade area and they're set for their little electronic lives, no real guesswork there.

Also, doesn't someone around here host a Terraria server? I saw it on a thread but I don't know if it's still active or not.

Kael's server, yeah. Thread's either on th'first or second page, heh. A little empty sometimes, but there's a few people that come in and out as the day goes along. I built a torchsea there, whee.

And yeah, future NPCs with special reqs will seriously be benefited from that change. Doesn't the clothier already need a loom? Never actually bothered to get th'bugger, so I don't really know
