Swamps and horses and leeches and infected sores

Postby shubla » Sun Feb 10, 2019 2:14 pm

When you are at a swamp, while riding a horse. You should not acquire leeches or infected sores. Right?
You are not touching the swamp as you are on horseback.

Grass is very tall in swamps. leeches like to hide out in tall grass.

The very air around the swamp is contaminated.
Also, there are midges there.
W3 to W6 - Blockland. Special mentions: New Avalon, Tarn of Hotdog, Red October.
W7 - Elvenia, til we all got lazy.
W8 - Cult of R'lyeh, til the deeps called us back.
W9 - Tartarus, til death/wizards came for the land itself.
W10 - ???, ruined and forgotten.

Look up "miasma." It was long held just breathing it would make you ill. Swamps were long believed to be full of miasma.

that said, nobody said how deep the horse wades when trudging through swamp. How do you know you're not half-floating in water? Also, all those insects carry disease and such. Just accept it before life becomes more complicated.

You make them sound more like ticks or fleas and that they're going to jump up out of the water at you. :lol:

I am not sure what you are talking about.
Maybe swamps are different outside of Finland?
In Finland, swamps look like this.

Grass is like 10-20cm tall, so you should be able to avoid it while riding a horse.
(But then again, riding a horse in swamp like one pictured above may cause the horse to sink into the swamp...)

also a swamp.

Game design wise horses are already op in swamps. Don't need to buff them more.
