Walls, guns, and other idea's

Postby Nalaris » Wed Dec 07, 2005 5:20 pm

While warfare constitutes only a small part of Cantr, I'd still like to see it a bit more...interesting (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!). :twisted:

Walls would be like buildings, so let's say you walk into Sjoftich, and Sjoftich has a city inside a wall, with two cottages outside. You would see:

Joe's house (cottage)
SlaveCo. storage unit (cottage)
Sjoftich City (walled town)

If you enter Sjoftich city, there would (probably) be buildings inside. It would be like building a building within a building, except it's a wall with buildings inside. Hope that made sense.

Now, if these walls were locked (lock the wall? Go figure.), the only way to get in would be to pick the lock or destroy the wall. You'd destroy the wall using a siege engine. It would be a vehicle, but instead of just driving it around like a car, you can also start a project to destroy a building with it. If you destroy the wall, all the buildings within the wall are now in Sjoftich and the inhabatants can be slaughtered at the will of the invaders :twisted:

Guns would just give the game a bit more sense. We've already got power tools, cars and bulldozers, why not AK-47's?

Trains are another idea I'd like to see in game. You would build a train station in two different locations, and anyone could travel between them at will. With locks and guards, it could become a business. Such and such's train company (founded in <insert-year-here>).

And you should be able to build big temple's for kicks. And giggles. And fanatical religions that you use walls, guns, trains and siege engines to take over the world with. Than Cantr gets an official religion. Enforced by M-16's. Isn't that nice?

Since you're new, you probably overlooked the intro suggestions thread. Please search for a topic in the top center of this forum to look for previously suggested ideas. Walls, guns, and siege ideas have been offered numerous times each.

And I don't see a bulldozer IG.
Guns don't really hold a role in cantr at the moment, and we won't see walls until free roam I believe. And RD talked a battering ram over some, but we just don't see it happening at the moment.

You're going to hear this alot too: Staff is busy. And its true. This is a free game and all programming and planning is done by volunteers, so we try to focus on the more important things, such as the fixing of repair rates and new food improvements.

The only idea I like from this is trains...but not in the insta-travel way i think it's assumed...I'd like it to be a very fast (and expensive to make) method of travel and special carriages for transporting materials or people (not both)...then when horse riding is implemented we almost have a wild west age! (minus the guns, which im not that eager to see)

No, not in an instant way. Trains would be bad if they were instant travel, and I would find IC reasons to sabotage them all (maybe make a character who's religion dictates that trains are demons) so that it wouldn't be done... :twisted:

While I'm ranting, the twisted smiley is really cool.

And thanks, Tattered Shoe Lace.
