Watch Towers and seeing in the distance

Postby Ahoyhoy » Sat Oct 01, 2005 6:57 pm

I know this idea has been suggested before, like people suggesting binoculars to look far away.

But I think a watch tower would be good because pirates have too much of an advantage in dealing with people right now due to their visits always being a surprise.

If watch towers are made and someone goes up into the watch tower and chooses to do an option called "look" which perhaps you can do once a day. You should be able to see if there's any cars or people coming down a path and how far they are and if any boats are docking and how far in the docking process they are.

Sounds like it would take a lot of coding. The effect would be either negligible or drastic, depending on how it is implemented - I don't think either would be good.

I think it would be good Sho and yeah it will require a bunch of coding I bet, but I mean when someone is sailing they can see dockable places so already the concept of seeing into the distance is somewhat in cantr.

The main reason why I think it's good is because it's so hard to deal with pirates right now. There needs to be some sort of defense against them.

yes there dose but if people know exacly when a pirate arrives everybody would run (exept peopel looking to kill the pirate so there would be no reson to attack the place compleatly removing the point of pirateing thus removeing the pirates

It has been suggested before, and discussed, however it has never had it's own thread. This way it makes it easier to move it, apart from whatever thread the other discussions are in.
