Wurmz i am in complete agreement. It's an issue that the game does neat
stuff like bridge collapsing and cave in rocks blocking tunnels and yet they
mostly happen off screen!
From a code POV I'm up for coding just about anything but if we come up with
a cool feature that would take too long to code, we can always do a temp
solution now and do the real solution in a later milestone.
