I decided to submit for the contest insted of Legend of Archwell, a game called Rancher. It's a game in which I put my own ranch as it would have looked in medieval days. Tell me whether this sounds better than what I planned to do or if you think it will totally suck.

I don't exactly understand what you mean. What would you do on the ranch?

Ah, but a ranch is diferent. A ranch raises livestock, and a farm grows crops. Since I don't want to do a hereford (cow) sequence, pigs will replace cows. There will be different acts to accomplish in the DMOD. You have too fix fences (baraed wire gives touch damage), sell pigs at the market (the bigger the pig, the more money you get), buy farm tools (3 types of grain, a sythe, plyers...), new types of spells ( one makes grass grow), and your goal is to make 4,000 gold.

Good luck *SNIGGER* ! That will be a bit hard methinks, at least to make it very fun...

And a farm does not exclusively grow crops, it also has animals. I know this, as I live in one big field, and I'm surrounded by farmers.

But your d-mod would be very cool if it was done right, but I seriously doubt you could make it good before sept 13th...

Ahh good...than we will have completely different DMODS. Mine will be about the epic quest of a farmer who's farm is under attack by a bonca.
