Hunting Strategy

The Cape Clawed location needs a hunting strategy page. The challenge is that there is no one correct strategy for this location. It is similar to the Lagoon in that there are multiple different types of mice and no one combination of Trap / Base / Cheese will work best for all the mice in this location. There are three different paths that the hunter can go down - so this information on the points requirements on building the Tactical Trap (Thorned Venus Mouse Trap and Horrific Venus Mouse Trap), the Hydro Trap (Ancient Spear Gun), and the Physical trap (RhinoBot) is good information to highlight in this section.

The current writeup just "completed" by Indraprasetyo is a mess in terms of flow, grammar, and neutrality. It also doesn't fully explain all the choices available to players. Someone needs to do a REAL hunting strategy section for this article. Current version contains informal language, making the article look unpolished and unprofessional. Whomever takes it up can consider using further subsections to split up the strategy, or to point to writeups at the other locations. It would also be a good idea to move "Hunting tips by Larry" to the top of the section and start by explaining the things pointed out by Larry. Try to use language that does not push players towards a certain path. Give them the options, and let them choose. Ralphminer's version should be a good replacement in the meantime till a full strategy writeup is done up. -- Grexx 05:01, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Something I noticed about using the special cheese (Gumbo/Shell/Crunchy) in Cape Clawed (and which I'm not confident I can word well right now so not putting in directly into the article) is that they only attract the respective tribe mice + mice form previous locations (Pinchy, Shipwrecked, Chameleon, Sylvan). I.e. if you use Crunchy, you'll attract the Derr Tribe mice (plus the aforementioned four), but will not attract Nerg or Elub. -- Camomiletea 17:12, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
