-+ - how about giving all mobs races, having a 2d array that contains the
-+ relations of one race to the other. on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being
-+ friendly, 10 being aggro, the rest you decide. (make it 1 and 0 and
-+ you can just use bits, 1 vector for each race, but then you can only
-+ have 32 races.)

was the little bit of code sarcasm? if it wasn't, what do you have in mind,
sound interesting....

correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this a 2d array? if it isn't, what
is?

YAHOO! can you think of what other racial affects there might be? so we can
have more values then true/false.
