Dinosaurs...Just A Few Questions

[Deago_Hunter]

Hey im new here at this forum i just had a few questions...

i noticed Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, Dilophosaurus and velocirapor ( just to name a few ) are units, i was wondering can we find wild versions of these 4 for example?

Will every wild beast have the same characteristics as we no they did? for example Tyrannosaurus hunting when its hungry etc etc

In skirmish do you have to fight the enemy or can you just create ur econemy etc etc and not fight your enemy?

when it comes to wild beasts are do they only apear in the certian map tpye for example, wild wolly mammoth only being avalable in the winter/snow maps?

do the wild dinosaurs reproduce, or are the dinosaurs limited?

And what resourses do each tribe collect using ages of empires as an exmaple ( wood, stone, food, gold ) etc etc?

Thank You.

EDIT: Arg, of course I've been telling nonsense. (But yeah, you guys are probably used to it.) Straight and simple answer: yes.

Will every wild beast have the same characteristics as we no they did?
Aggressive species are likely to attack others. And may feast on them to restore hitpoints.

In skirmish do you have to fight the enemy or can you just create ur econemy etc etc and not fight your enemy?
There's always an enemy to be defeated. Again, Paraworld is a straight RTS - no Sim Earth. ;)

when it comes to wild beasts are do they only apear in the certian map tpye for example, wild wolly mammoth only being avalable in the winter/snow maps?
Yes, the type of species you'll encounter also depends on the settings. You're not going to run across wild mammoths in the jungle.

do the wild dinosaurs reproduce, or are the dinosaurs limited?
All dinosaur and mammal herds have nests or caves respectively. New animals will spawn there from time to time. You'll have to destroy the nest in order to keep a species from reproducing. Each herd has a fixed max number of members, new animals cannot spawn infinitely. Said number depends on what the level designer assigns to a cave/nest. That said, with the level editor you'd be free to set it to "50" or "100" - although I wouldn't really recommend doing that.

And what resourses do each tribe collect
Food, stone and wood can be harvested. Then there are skulls which can only be earned in battle.

I also have a question:

- Can you see the raptors communicate with each other during an attack?

- How many types of group hunters are in the game?

No, not really. :P There's only so many details we can model and animate.
How many types of group hunters are in the game?
Well, aggressive units have the same behavioural basics. Stronger species such as allosaurs are less likely to call when attacking or being attacked. Some smaller aggressive units we have in the game: aforementioned raptors and deinonychuses.

Still, Paraworld is an RTS, not a life sim.

damn, it's so boring, i really hoped to watch brachiosorus feeding for hours and hours...
