I am creating a new set of maps between Flagstone and BWM, and I'd like to populate it with monsters with the proper level of difficulty. New monsters would be great, if anyone has ideas, but suggestions for existing ones are also welcome.

HONEY BADGERS!

That is all.

------------------------------Combined double posts --------------------------------------------

Seriously though... Honey badgers, porcupines, rabid squirrels, chipmunks...

Escaped prisoners (zombies of a sort)... Haven't seen alligators, crocodiles or monkeys.

"Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!"

I guess I'm not looking for names of animals, etc so much as for advice on how to either design or to select monsters for a given level of difficulty.

Ah, I apologize, I didn't read your post very well apparently.

It's usually a safe bet to look at the stats of the monsters on both ends of where you're adding content, and shoot for a middle ground... It's advisable to put an unavoidable mob near the entrance to the area, if the change is significant, so the player can see a taste of what's in the area before proceeding.

I realize that's generic, but for interim areas, generally it's just a matter of taking something that exists and tweaking the stats and changing the icon/tile...

If you're adding some new maps you can add a camp with aggressive humanoid mobs.

Here's an example:

[
{
"id": "SakulBrawler",
"name": "Sakul Brawler",
"maxHP": 50,
"attackDamage": {
"max": 20
},
"iconID": "monsters_rltiles2:128",
"spawnGroup": "SakulBrawler",
"attackCost": 5,
"attackChance": 200,
"blockChance": 50,
"criticalSkill": 20,
"criticalMultiplier": 2
},
{
"id": "SakulFighter",
"name": "Sakul Fighter",
"maxHP": 70,
"attackDamage": {
"max": 15
},
"iconID": "monsters_rltiles2:130",
"spawnGroup": "SakulFighter",
"attackCost": 5,
"attackChance": 150,
"blockChance": 150,
"damageResistance": 2
},
{
"id": "SakulScout",
"name": "Sakul Scout",
"maxHP": 40,
"attackDamage": {
"min": 1,
"max": 5
},
"iconID": "monsters_rltiles2:133",
"spawnGroup": "SakulScout",
"attackCost": 3,
"attackChance": 140,
"blockChance": 40
},
{
"id": "SakulCaptain",
"name": "Sakul Captain",
"maxHP": 90,
"attackDamage": {
"max": 15
},
"iconID": "monsters_rltiles2:131",
"spawnGroup": "SakulCaptain",
"attackCost": 5,
"attackChance": 140,
"blockChance": 150,
"damageResistance": 2,
"criticalMultiplier": 2,
"criticalSkill": 20
}
]

That's a great idea .. Thanks!!

Just curious .. does ”Sakul” mean anything particular, or does it just sound cool?

@Meirerion:
Good job! I especially like the name of the monsters!

Welcome to the forums, jackim! Good to see you (and everyone) contributing in such a positive way!

My feeling is that block chances above 100 are way too much for the areas between Flagstone and BWM. I do like all these monsters and names, though
