This was when I was attempting to keep the game playable on a 180K disk system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I no longer need to segregate monsters, and I can actually combine the data and graphics files and keep them in one place. This has the following advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> I can load any monster anywhere in the world<\/li><li>I don&#8217;t need to replicate graphics or statistics, which means constantly updating them as I make tweaks and changes to battle balance<\/li><li>I can consolidate creating monster content in one phase, rather than having to start over each time<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once I get the world map complete, I can return focus to finishing up the 2nd disk&#8217;s contents.
