      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Crafting/Building games with better combat systems?

5 posts in this topic

I love Minecraft. Vanilla, modded, TFC, it's all great... but the combat system in Minecraft is underwhelming. Understandably, combat is not the core focus of the game. Even though it has seen some improvements (Adventure update, status effects), I doubt Mojang will ever want Minecraft to be a 'fighting game' or a 'violent game' and lose its appeal to younger players.

 

Do you know of any games that have interesting combat without sacrificing the ability to shape the world and craft all the things?

I'm sorry to say but in all my browsing of the minecraft forums for mods I have never encountered one complex combat mod.

Well, minefantasy kinda has interesting combat thanks to all the different armor and weapons and their stats, but not that much, I know a few weapon mods that allow a bit more diverse combat, and mine & battle's duel-wield is good, but it has lots of limitations...

 

To sum it up, I have seen mods that make combat a bit more interesting, but it doesn't help that much, the main reason I think is because vanilla combat system is underwhelming, period.

We'll probably need a complete re-vamp of fighting, and likely weapons/armor and possibly even health and mobs as well, to make combat interesting

 

I haven't really seen much other games. but a game called wurm or something is supposed to be a craft/building game with combat I think....

TFC as the chance to make combat and a lot of things better, and more awesome. However this means waiting on the coding to be done. Some people have made suggestions on these topics such as better archery(http://terrafirmacraft.com/f/topic/5922-archery-overhaul/). I can't think of a way game that is still a sandbox(Like Minecraft) that has a good combat system.

The page with all the suggestions is here, it has a lot of good PVP suggestions. http://terrafirmacraft.com/f/topic/5033-suggestion-directory-look-here-first/

The adventuremode of Dwarf Fortress really has some indepht combat mechanics (more or less everyting in DF is very indepth:) while also giving you the ability to shape the world. While MC's way of shaping the world includes being able to move around blocks and stuff that doesn't really apply to the adventure mode of DF (that's more like fortress mode) the DF adventuremode gives you the ability to choose your own path and being able to have a lasting impact on the world and become famous and stuff like that. Oh and BTW as a bonus DF is completely free. Spoiler full of usefull DF-realted links:
