View source for 4-way vs 8-way movement

Golden Krone Hotel was initially designed around 4-way movement, but optional 8-way movement was added later. Players often ask if these two ways of movement are balanced and the answer is ''kind of''. Each comes with its own pros and cons.

'''4-way'''

* You can only be "surrounded" by 4 monsters
* Easier to dodge directional spells
* Firestorm is more advantageous when cast on diagonals
* Likewise, revolver shots are perfectly safe from diagonals

'''8-way'''
* More directions available to aim spells and therefore a lot more danger from spell casters
* Easier to grab blood pools (same applies to enemy vampires)
* Easier to get past a small number of enemies
* Travel time is slightly reduced in open areas
* Sunlight can be dodged more often
