Project II :The Elephants needs CARE!!




Subject: Borneon Pygmy Elephant (based on the 5 endangered species in wwf.org.my)
Scientific name: Elephas maximus borneensis
Habitat: Lowlands and valleys
Status: Endangered
Population: [Unknown] estimated to be less than 1,500 mostly in Sabah, Malaysia Borneo

Description:

  • smaller than all the other subspecies of the Asian elephant.
  • remarkably tame and passive, another reason some scientists think it was descended from a domestic collection.
  • longer tail that reaches almost to the ground and straighter tusks.
  • babyish faces and more rotund shapel.
  • The males can grow to a height of less than 2.5 meters compared to other Asian elephants that grow to 3 meters.
  • dark grey to brown skin.


Interesting Facts
These placid pachyderms can be greedy at times. They love durian and will roll the entire fruit - spikes and all - in mud, then swallow it whole!

.issues

I've got to say that this is a nearly a perfect game. As i search for critics on this game, there are many positive critics.But for me... i've played this game before and yeah, it was addictive. But sooner and later i got tired and bored of the game. i've found myself doing the same thing all over again every time i play this game. Killing men, taking hostages, siege castles is all i do. I could say that the only objective of this game is to become one and only ruler.

Why am i bored to this game?
STARTING THE GAME.when first you start the game it doesn't tell you what you should do (objectives). its just like reading a novel. With a long text but doesn't really help with your gameplay. All i do is clicking and clicking.. whats the point?

THE GAME.if you're really into gaming you should know that each of every game you played does have a strong storyline and makes you really want to play till the end. But for me this game doesn't. Killing people with no motives.

BATTLE.when fighting in large plains i don't know where is my enemy.or where should i go.i could move around the plains all around and suddenly the enemy is actually is behind me. When battling at night, its more difficult. I really need a map for this one.

THE KINGDOM.its a large kingdom with many towns and villages, but what should i do? im asking myself until i stop playing this game. What i know is that the towns and villages are meant to be destroyed or take over. nothing else.

QUEST. the quest are repetitive, for examples.. you came to Lord gaga in kingdom of A and he gives u a quest to kill MR.X... it would be the same quest as Lord didi in Kingdom of B. Why would i do the same thing... all over again! its boring. It also didn't give much clue where could you complete you quests.

LORDS.each mission you have to find the Lords in each kingdom.but, these lords just cant sit in one place. You have to roam all around the kingdom to find them. if you lucky, they will just pop up in front of you. If not you have to read all the notes which where it will leads you.

There are much more things i could say on the "cons" but this are the main things for sure. So basicly what im trying to say here is, im not criticizing the quality of the game but what im trying to say is to improve the basics of the game, how i could make the game much more easier for the user to interact and play the game. This is what i do for my project!
