[QUOTE="Sigurd, post: 1600094, member: 19412"] [b]Spears & staves are useful[/b] Water really slows a sword swing - far more than with piercing attacks. Staves have a real advantage as a third leg or reaching pole. Light boats are much easier to portage. The best way I can think of making a swamp unique is to map it more completely. If you are reliable with your land marks, channels. pits, outcrops, etc... they will more grounded. Particular trees & plants can look like things. Players with wilderness survival may have a concealed way of marking a trail. These markings, or land marks, make the swamp much more concrete.
