No offense to whomever submitted it, but I really don't agree that the "Gaining more XP in dense jungle" tip is advisable. Perhaps in the past, when this was added, chopping plants consistantly provided XP, or didn't expend AP, but as it stands, its a very inefficient way of gaining XP. Anyone opposed to removing it? Would its author like to respond? --Jackel 18:53, 27 February 2006 (GMT)
- That was me.. at the time that I added it, there were lots of areas of dense jungle and not a lot of animals to be found. Things seem to have changed since then so feel free to remove it if you want. --Snarf 22:04, 27 February 2006 (GMT)
Luring animals
My native made the mistake of standing near an elephant a bit too long, and it started attacking him. I didn't have nearly enough AP to take it down, but I wasn't ready to let it off the hook, either, so I smacked it a few times, and moved a few sqares from it. Hours later, it had moved toward me, but not close enough to strike. I smacked at it some more, and moved away again, nearing a beach area. The elephant has walked right up to the edge of the beach, but doesn't seem willing to step onto it. I've been having some fun with it over the last several hours, smacking it, then jumping back onto the sand. Don't know if this is a bug, or if any other animals won't chase you onto the sand. I'll update later if I'm wrong, and if the elephant has gotten up the nerve to attack me on the sand. --Jackel 17:20, 3 March 2006 (GMT)
