What are some of the MUD s characteristics?
Tempora Heroica takes place in a persistent world where each player creates a hero (also known as a character) to roleplay. The player chooses to be a member of one of the four kiths: the Faerie Kith consisting of brownies, elves, pixies, satyrs, and selkies; the Hominid Kith consisting of humans and halflings; the Jotun Kith consisting of giants, ogres, and trolls; and the Nibelung Kith consisting of dwarves, gnomes, and goblins. With their hero, a player explores the game world, which is centered around the town of Wivernhoe, and battle monsters. In June 2005, a new combat engine and skill system was introduced to the MUD. The combat engine uses events, instead of the rounds or turns found in most role-playing games, to regulate battles. Heroes are able to queue tactics before and during melee. The skills system arranges skills in a skilltree and skills are improved, when challenged, through use.
