 Key components to the first version 
-- Interacting with a transformable world 
-- AL that can be used to add life to the world

+- Interacting with a transformable world. 
+- AI that can be used to add life to the world, but not take away from the players. 
+- Realm Weaver shapes the world experience for the players.
+- Game feel/tone/theme would be gritty.

 '''Terrain'''
+
 The world is the staging ground and the key starting foundation. This might need to be simplified for V1  
-- Plate shaped world Size to be determined. 
+- Plate shaped world. Size to be determined. This should be big enough to support 100-300 players per server. 
 - Game must have between 5 and 10 Continents including an Ice Continent at the edge of the plate that is separated by large amounts of water. 
 - Procedural generated terrain that is player editable. Voxel generated.
 - Mountains, Hills, Valleys, Rivers and Caves. 
-- Realistic water interacting with the world. 
-- Bioms that make scene. Such that closer to the center or far edge the realm gets colder. Rain forests are more likely to occur near oceans. 
+- Realistic water interacting with the world. So waves on the oceans and rivers that have water flow. Corners might need to be cut for version 1.0 if out of the box solutions are not available. 
+- Bioms that make scene. Such that closer to the center or far edge of the realm the colder it gets. Rain forests are more likely to occur near oceans. 
 
 
 ''' AI ''' 
-AI bring is to life
-- All NPCs would have open ended attributes that can be applied. Here is some example ones that could be used: Age, Wisdom, Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Charisma, Happiness, Fortitude, and Profession. These would be used for determining how the AI will react in different situations along with how capable they are to complete tasks.   
-- Over world calculations VS Local. A separate overlay basic map would be used to determine migration patterns for mobs along with current populations of them for the world.

 ''' Buildings and Crafting '''
+
 - Two main types of materials to begin with. Blocks and mesh. 
-- Blocks: Can be placed like in Mine Craft and light up to a world grid. We will need to decide if this is a fixed grid for the world. Or something else like one the Realm Weaver chooses for each town. 
-- Mesh: When placed add to the world mesh. Items like dirt and gravel will do this.
-- Starting Town sizes would be determined by Realm Weaver
-- Templates: Players can sit at design desks and make buildings in a mini creative world. They can then take the design and place it in their town for the villagers or themselves to build. There will generic be templates available for beginners. While in the design mode they can see the village and overlay a template on top of it to match the existing terrain or to change a current structure.

 ''' Temporal '''
+
 The world will have chronological generation as well as physical. This will effect the mobs, villages and terrain. 
 - Items like wood blocks will have a higher chances of going away over time then stone. Biom climate would effect this as well.

 ''' Mob Types '''
-- Non-Human NPCs for the towns. 
-- Wild animals that fill the world. 
+
+- Non-Human NPCs races for the towns. They will be human like such as Dworfs or Elfs, but can be something else as well. The NPCs will age, have children and migrate from and to other villages around them. 
+- Wild animals that fill the world. This will mostly be familiar animals like Trash Pandas, but maybe some other ones like say a Jackalope.
 
 
 ''' Player Types '''
-- Realm Weaver: They determine how the world looks, the amount of Mobs, sizes of towns, where the adventure starts, world timeline and quests for the adventure and themselves. They also become the Mayor of the first town of the world. They can force the world 
-- Mayor: All Realm Weavers get this as well. This is a ruler of a town. They control all the NPCs; however, they can assign some to adventures they find worthy of leading them.  
-- Adventure: They get to interact with the world as an independent subject. They can do quests assigned to them by a Mayor or independently find their own task to accomplish. If they get board with this roll, they can go start their own town and become a Mayor as well.
