Clan Fortresses and Castles and Raiding

dammit why did u have to bring dawn up dawn i hate being reminded about how awsome that game might be when its not gonna be out for many many years

i really like the idea, i was expecting it to be another cruddy suggestion tbh.
it would be a good replacement for war a i think, better than the current war system at least
I also think it should allow for a teleport type system for people online in the defending clan (maybe like the arena so you dont actually go any where?)

Hunters Bane/CC: I really like this idea and the suggestions that others have made to improve it.

Smashednoob: I hate having to say this, but in the interest of honesty, I have to admit that I like what you said in your post. As for the part I quoted above, what would you do with the Archeorunology skill if you replace runes with building plans? I'm not sure that getting rid of runes is a good idea, but I like the addition of building plans. Too bad you have me on ignore, so you probably won't see this.

change the runology skill to a dif name, like Building Mastery, and have it so that after a certain lvl you are able to enter the new buildings.

this way it doesnt effect what lvl people can use, but its changed to suit the new system

Smash, the buildings your castle has will effect you only in the immediate area; say within 50 squares north, east, south and west. The idea is not to replace runes but it would be in-addition-to.

Unless I'm mistaken, that is a relatively large area -- 50 spaces in all 4 directions would be an area 101 spaces square = 10201 spaces minus any empty areas (like west of T2) and further reduced if within 50 spaces of one or two map edges. I think I saw that a high level player walked from the western edge to the eastern edge (possibly in Abandoned Docks) and found 160 spaces west to east. I'm not sure about the number of spaces north to south, but 50 spaces in all four directions would cover a large part of the map, especially if the castle/fortress is centrally-located.

[Hunters Bane]

Yeah 50 square may be a bit much but regardless the effects of the building start to wear off as you go further away from the castle and will not be felt all across the map.

yeah he was saying it in response to my suggestions in my first post :P

I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! give him a pat on the back.
I think the 'buld your own castle / fort' is the better option. As for having everyones forts on the map, i would think that would slow Nod down.

Maybe just seeing the fort(s) of your enemies? or having a list of the most prominent clans to choose from and see their forts?

The forts could be styled after Moss dungeon with multiple layers or walls (w/e) with each layer having a defense (tamed mobs, paid guards, mercenaries, clan memebers etc) and at the last level you to the deposit box from which you plunder according to how many:

_-------> your team made it down alive
_-------> clan members you killed
---------> and how much damage you caused (guards slain / wonded)

again, LOVE IT!

So, what effect does this have on a neutral - non clan players, just out and about hunting or doing quests for the Seer ?

Do they get attacked if they are too close, or can they go inside like a town and look around?

If it appears on a map - and a player goes there - what happens - if that player is in - or not in - a clan. (e.g. I group with my alternate characters and go out hunting, look and the map and see a new fort that has been built, so I dodge the npc's to go take a look.)

Not being in a clan so there isn't any rune power - can any player go visit these places?

Or would it not be like a town, and they are only a spot on the map that isn't permanent - since they can be destroyed and rebuilt some place else.

Last question, - can they be captured if the location is good?

Really nice idea - best to all,

Very good question!

I would like to know how Neutral players would be effected, if at all.

Could easly just...not have them involved at all i dont see why anyone other than a clan member should benefit from our/your castle. as well as i dont see why they should be taxed or attacked by our/your castle.

BUT The OPTION to attack the castle should still be there for them i dont see why it would hurt if a group of random people want to try and destroy a castle, go for it.

Also as a friendly OPTION you could donate to the castle/clan to recive a temp buff and/or effect. That would generate more rp and would give random people a chance to say "hey im donating to your clan and im interested in joining. " or you could say "we notice your donations mabey you would be interested in joining?" kind of break the ice for potential new recruits/players. Some may just use your castle for the buff but will still generate rp. hell i dont know.

I just felt like giving this idea another Thumbs Up and keep the train a rollin in the right direction. The general idea rocks regaurdless if my ideas get implemented or not im just here to offer feedback and bounce ideas around. :]

[thatperson]

clan events=clan required so if this is implemented you would have to be in a clan to participate

love the idea

it is an awsome idea

could also offer a ' vault' for the clan if u do this
