No guns...but we got limos?

Postby Lone Wolf » Thu Feb 26, 2004 11:03 pm

does anyone else think that its strange that we have the technology to build cars, sprts cars, vans, and limos, but we can't make a gun? You would have to have alot of iron, plus lead could be add to our resources. You would have to make your own bullets
Also why is it you don't have to make arrows for your bows. Hunting bows would just need wooden arrows. War Bows and cross bows would need wood and iron.
Or maybe I'm alone in this?

The game doens't need guns....doesn't need limo's or sports cars either right enough. But I say no to guns in the Cantr land!

Agreed. No guns, but I do beleive that if we are going to have cars remain in the game, they should be powered by different means, such as steam (water), coal, wood, gasoline (refined oil), et cetera.

If you are going to make steel production so realistic, its kind of odd to see cars going around powered by magic.

Maybe YOUR car is powered by magic, but my car has a hole in the floor panel and we use foot power just like Fred & Barney

I fail to see how a person running, pulling a heavy steel car, would be that much faster than a person running without the car. :lol:
Come to think of it, however, some cars weigh less than 5 kilograms. :lol:

but if we had guns, only those who have gathered a lot of resources would be able to have them..plus towns could use them for defence

No.

The existence of cars doesn't justify the existence of guns. Towns don't need guns for defense. If they have enough resources to make a gun, than they have enough resources to defend themselves from pretty much any threat without needing a gun.

No guns. Perhaps vehicle weapons (which I suggested a while back), like catapults. They would have disadvantages, like being very slow, which guns would not have. If guns are implemented, they wouldn't be used for defence. Lad would get guns and overrun the entire continent. No wait, they're doing that anyway. . .

maybe chariots/wagons/barrows need to be implemented seperatly...not used as replacements for cars....I mean, how cool would it be, to drive a wagon around saying, "bring out your dead"

Yes, rename cars. But what will we call them? What pre-industrial vehicle used lots of steel and glass? We don't need more vehicles. We don't have any domesticated animals, so wagons would be either bike carts or rickshaws, both of which we already have.

yes :twisted: gimme a gun :twisted: ...but.. with bullets and there should be some update in combat system... one person can't shoot whole city in one hour even if he/she have bullets... also arrows for bows and crossbows should be added... and gasoline... but :roll: there can be problem with current cars running without gas... :idea: maybe car should go to nearest city and then :arrow: suprise! 'out of fuel' message :twisted:

The guns that I speak of are not like M16's or pump shot guns, but like muzzel loaders. You have to add your own Powder, which you need to make, you'd need a lead ball, which you need to make. If you don't use enough powder, the gun wouldn't hurt, but if you use too much it could hurt the shooter or it could blow up taking 50% of the shooters strength and destroying the gun.
