1) Why the name Ruto? Any reason to pick a particular name?
You see, the names of your companions changes depending on what name you chose for your Hero. With the name I've chosen, the Prince will be named Glynn, and the Princess will be named Elani. I liked those names for both better than all of their other names (most of which absolutely suck).
2) Do you know what the encounter rates are for the various tiles?
No, to be honest, I just assumed that they were the same as Dragon Warrior I, where Deserts and Mountains were the highest, and Swamps and Forests were the second highest.
Also, I know that I could hack it, but then I'd just have to deal with it later anyways. I'd rather just figure it out now for the real thing. If, say, Ryan8bit could run some tests on different methods at the slots, then I could potentially put them off for now, but I haven't been able to get in contact with him.
