Re: Sneaked moose??
Extract from Wikipedia:
Quote:
Average size and weight
On average, an adult moose stands 1.8–2.1 m (6–7 ft) high at the shoulder[6]. Males weigh 380–720 kg (850–1180 pounds) and females weigh 270–360 kg (600–800 pounds). The largest confirmed size for this species was a bull shot at the Yukon River in September 1897 weighing 818 kg (1,800 lb) and was 233 cm (92 in) tall at the shoulder.

You know, I think they meant SHOES.... moose leather. o.O Wacky game devs can get confused by these things, since we know computer programmers never wear athletic shoes. >.>
BUT actually, I think the idea is that the Vaetti are SO sneaky, that if anyone actually saw the meeses, they would just say "hey look, a herd of meeses", rather than getting all upset that the weird part is the little goblins riding around on them.
So it stands to reason: no goblins - no "moose riders". |

Re: Sneaked moose??
Ahh, the Kalevala. I must read it again. Such fine tales. I haven't read it in probably 15 years or so, but it is sitting out on my bookshelf, calling me. Lemminkainen, Vainimoinen, Kullervo. Such great heroes and villains.

Re: Sneaked moose??
There are several online editions-I found them by wikifying Kalevala-if anyone's interested. I don't currently possess a copy, and I don't think my dad does, either, but eventually I'll have to add it to the family library.

Re: Sneaked moose??
They don't actually enter the city, they just wander around the nature surrounding the villages of the province.
The reason they can sneak but say, wolves, can't, is because the wolves aren't smart enough to manage themselves, they all follow the wolfherd, and if all of them are around the wolfherd, you'll notice that huge herd of wolves. The moose riders have their riders to control them, and so they can split up and wander around independently.

Re: Sneaked moose??
You just don't read it correctly: it's not "moose", but "mouse"...
Alrgiht, it is VERY BAD...
I leave...

Re: Sneaked moose??
Well, anybody who wishes can tell hunters that moose are easy to catch... They probably would be quite willing to let you demostrate them this.  |
