Encumbrance icon is kinda outdated and could be updated to be more useful.
While it may still serve some purposes for odd reasons I can't fathom, there may be no practical application for current stage of drakkar as game.
It would be better used by reflecting age state than encumbrance.
Keep it nice and simple so players would actually look at it.
Default/weightless = Extremely young, young, middle age
Single weight = Old
Double weight = Very Old
Triple weight = Ancient

Re: Age icon
I 2nd the motion. It would be nice to know your age at a glance.
However, there were two recent cases where I wondered why I stopped being able to move multiple hexes at a time. I was carrying a corpse (for one case) and carrying an encumbering item (for the other case) (sorry I don't recall the item that causes that right now). Maybe there are other cases that I haven't seen that also cause encumbrance.
If it is possible, how about a temporary icon that appears when your age changes? This would be just as useful to me as your replacement of the weights icon. And it would not add to the clutter of icons for long. Having it last for 20 seconds, and blink for the final 5 seconds, should be enough to get anyone's attention; even in a zoo'd condition.
Thoughts?
