Ooookay... I`ll try to get rid of a mental picture of someone invisible sneaking leaving LARGE SMOKING TRACKS in his wake..

My first week or so of playing H&H, I thought the stealth skill was for just this sort of mechanic. I was extra paranoid expecting someone to sneak up and attack at any moment. It would add an extra bit of flavour.

At night it should be easier to sneak under a new moon than a full moon. Making torches more useful is definitely a plus. Scents should stay as they are, though. Hiding one's tracks is more difficult than just avoiding being seen.

Obviously criminal acts should be disabled while sneaking.

leaving no scents while sneaking is a terrible idea.

I thought you were joking when you first brought it up. :roll:

I dunno, I always found that a fairly annoying/forced mechanic, there's no rotation, and many players ended up deliberately building a lot of space wasters behind their buildings that was really annoying.
kulas would be nice though viewtopic.php?p=51490#p51490
A kula is a kind of tent? I don't get it...

I did. Sadly, not a lot of people actually got it.
