Losing Combat

[sbuller]

If a player loses combat, should they succeed in moving to the next location?

Pros of moving, even on a lost combat:

• easier to code
• less frustrating for the player Pros of not moving upon lost combat:
• we can create content that is accessible only to players who can beat certain monsters
• reinforces "You shouldn't be here yet" when hero is not strong enough to adventure there

There are probably more that I cannot think of. What about if a player 'travels' to the location he's already at?

I kinda like 'bouncing' the hero back if he loses combat. It kinda reinforces the "You shouldn't be here yet" idea. Otherwise, a hero may adventure deep into difficult territory, losing the whole way, and will need to lose a whole bunch of battles just to make it back.
