    Ambient Life Interaction

    With all of this wonderful concept art being released that is showing us potential ambient life, I thought it might be interesting to consider the potential interaction we will have with this life.  Will it be similar to most RTS games wherein the life does not interact much with you (aside from being able to be shot to death)?  Or will this ambient life be able to hurt you, hunt you and maybe kill you? 

    I find that it would be more interesting to have some of these life forms actually be able to fight back, or be aggressive to you.  Of course they should still be easily killed but at least they could hurt you.

    What are your thoughts?  What will their level of interaction be? What should it be?

    Three new concept art shots.

    I could not say if there will be any actual interaction between the different ambient life critters. Though check out the front page; Thunder posted some new concept art pieces and a blurb from Graeme Devine.

    Ooh, cool!  Sounds like we'll have some level of interaction with ambient life.

    Re: Three new concept art shots.

    With the aggressive/predatory nature of the last three pieces of concept art I'd say that interaction is likely. I see no reason why a similar vein to AoE or Warcraft III cannot be taken. Lone or grouped creatures at various gameplay centers, such as resources, way points, major routes. Some creatures could prove to be useful in certain scenarios. For example, the eel like creature in the most recent Concept Art release could cause a river or body of water to be uncrossable by infantry. Certain creatures could also be more inclined to attack certain species. I know if I were an eel, I'd rather drag down a Grunt than an Elite. There's certainly a great deal of potential for them.

    Re: Three new concept art shots.

    I think there should be some interaction like there was in AoE. Not enough to cause a lot of damage to the player but enough to have to fight back so you don't lose a worker or lone infantry man.

    I am surprised no one noticed the snow beast and giant eel in the art section yet.

     I would suggest not sending your marines through swamps or small ponds. It could prove hazardous.
