I don't like this in-your-face magic at all. Looks like next stop is fireballs and healing spells.

It's still a good update, because bronze was sorely needed. Not to mention non-iron chests.

I do have some sympathy for that statement, and I've reacted even more to it after we actually added the windblades. Of course, Jorb will hate the idea of removing them now that he's drawn them. :)

I have to say, though, that I still like the winds themselves -- I think they are rather modest in their "magical qualities". I just wish we had used them for some more modest uses than "windblades".

so, why not a windmill - we got coal, copper, glass.

put it together and - voila electricity - and i can finally read my parchments at midnight :mrgreen:

and why stop there, with a windmill, wood and steel we could drill for raw oil

I love the idea, the danger, and the catching. Keep the up the good work.

I agree. Catching them is a pain, but not impossible. Growing them is dangerous and interactive as you have to closely monitor the wind when it reaches certain points relative to your chime quality. The idea of wind blades is brilliant in my opinion. It gives yet another option for manufacturing weapons. Not everyone wants to mine, and certainly not everyone COULD mine with the system as it is (The amount of mines probably doesn't equal the amount of players at this point, and some people have multiple mines.) Having the option of creating a sword out of something other than metal is extremely appealing.
