Building Information and Description (Duplicate Thread Reje

Postby lost_b0y » Mon Feb 13, 2006 3:47 am

I know there was a suggestion about personal descriptions so you could see what you looked like and what not...

what about with buildings...I know some people would like there "stone building" to look different than everyone elses "stone building" especially if its a store or something. I'd also like to see the year it was built...that way you could really see which buildings are ancient. so you could go to the buildings description and at the bottem it would say "Built 1203-2" or whatever...comments critisims?

Edited for thread title. -rklenseth

It shouldn't give an exact date, but maybe something like "built ten years ago".

Building age is not currently recorded in the database, so this raises issues for exisiting buildings. We know that one building is older tahn another, but how much older we currently have no idea.

When building deterioration is implemented the level of deterioation will be visible. (New, Crumbling etc)

That doesn't mean that buildings will fall down will it? aww...

If you want to record the date, put it in the name

"Shop - 1415"

Once implemented unmaintained builidings will eventually collapse .

Also the location names for buildings will be forgotton eventually (probably sooner than building deterioration) so putting the date in the name will not be a universal way of preserving building age info.

:wink:

Of course that's not in accepted suggestions so I may be wrong :)

I like buildings the way they are.
Maybe we could decide a building size when starting the project, and resources would be calculated according to that, but I wouldn't personnaly consider that worth the trouble.
Still, I'd love to see the possibility to attach notes to buildings and building names amnesia like I mentioned in another thread.
