Summary0010603: Reduce crawler numbers in caves
DescriptionThis suggestion actually goes along with my other issues about the scorpions and toads; it occurred to me that most of the problems were cave related, as that's where I was when I reported those issues. So a big part of both problems was just the very high numbers of crawlers in caves, though this is worse with the scorpions and their wide-range blast. Can be pretty bad with pigeons as well. It often seems like there's LOTS of crawlers, but not all that many of other enemy types. And too many of certain types of crawlers at once can really create nasty situations, particularly in those cramped zones.

Hmmm, ok. There are a lot of crawlers seeded in caves, in part, because they are cramped, and sometimes those are the only monsters that fit. :)

That said, I'll bring this up with Chris and see what we might be able to do.

Thanks!

* A maximum density of 3 wall crawlers per 30x30 square in a chunk is now enforced. Below turn 5, the enforced density is 2 per 30x30 square in a chunk. This is applied before the normal monster budget calculations, which then may or may not seed wall crawlers versus other monster types.
** This helps to keep caves and other places like that from getting too crazy dense with the wall crawlers, while also letting plenty of other stuff still seed. Should lead to better balance in general.
