Feature Request: Set Scenario only Shows Monsters in Starting Section #170

Open Jeremiah1 opened 1 year ago

Jeremiah1 commented 1 year ago

When I set a scenario, I would like the app to only show the monsters in the starting section and auto-add their standees. Do not add the monsters in unrevealed sections. This way, scenarios don't tip off what the group will be facing in the other sections. Once a section is revealed during game play, the user can click the appropriate section button to add the monsters.

Not relevant in Frosthaven at least, as dull monster load out is revealed during scenario setup.

I think they would like the monster types to be a surprise, not according to RAW (except for Forgotten Circles) but as a houserule variation. I've seen this be asked for in other places.

Implementation wise, there's a few considerations:

  1. sections or monster auto population are options, so this feature would need to not break when those are off.
  2. some monsters spawn others, and those need to be considered as well.
  3. overall this whole feature could be done in just data files ( add monsters in sections instead of at start ), but all 400+ scenarios would need to be examined and changed for this, sections added for gloomhaven and jaws as well to deal with no standee option etc.
