New Ecology Idea

My dad and I were talking about CoC, and we had an idea for the game. In the world today, there is increased emphasis on protecting our environment. In light of that, would you please give some thought to the idea of "transplanting" trees, bushes, etc. instead of removing them (you would still be able to remove them). This would have no defensive impact, but it would be cool to make small forests in your village instead of trees, bushes, etc. getting in your way. Any advice on making this idea better would be appreciated.:)

I doubt most people will use it, but I guess the people who like having gardens will appreciate it.

But no, I don't like the idea. No point. Sorry.

Maybe if it had some sort of defensive value, like a big gloomy forest would scare away archers from a certain point, otherwise its kinda pointless

Oh my goodness, laughed a lot at that one. Not that I don't care about global warming, of course.

Forests don't really do much to help Global Warming, since the methane produced by rotting foliage offsets the carbon dioxide removal. The oceans are the real net gain. Given, one good forest fire produces more greenhouse gases and pollution than the entire US does over dozens of years. If you're really serious about this, support logging companies cutting firebreaks every ten or twenty miles and clearing out brush.

Back to the original subject - yes, it would be cool to be able to move trees. There would have to be a cost, though, otherwise new players will just shift everything to the edge rather than bothering to clear it.
