Title: Signposts (Message on c-rpg.net upon entering a fief on Strategus)
Post by: Sandersson Jankins on November 28, 2012, 01:57:22 am

Howdy folks. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate section for strategus suggestions; if it's blatantly misplaced, move this shit, yo!

Anyway, I figure it would be a neat (and not difficult to code/implement/maintain) feature if fief owners could create a small message for people upon entering their fief. This would streamline trade disputes, as a person cannot plausibly deny (with too much effectiveness) that they have not seen, nor have ever seen messages on their c-rpg.net page. It would be nice for advertisement for weapons, for example, a fief owner could create a message as follows: "Welcome to clusterfuckistan! For sale are +3 fighting axes and +2 white surcoat over mail. A maximum of 500 trade goods per person are available to sell or purchase. I'm also incredibly gay. Have a nice day!"

I figure it would be handy to be able to disable these messages after you have entered a new fief for the first time, so you don't get your shit spammed. Of course, a fief owner could refrain from using the system as well.


Any thoughts from anyone? I cannot imagine that this would be difficult to code, although I am mostly ignorant on that matter. Perhaps this could be a real neato feature for strategus round 5.

"...I'm also incredibly gay. Have a nice day!"

I beg to differ Tanken.

But yes, this would be a great thing to add. Just put it to the right of all transfer text, something needs to take up that space.

I do have an addendum! It'd probably be better to simply have some text appear on the strategus page, probably on the Info tab.

Would I also be able to add the incredibly gay part or is that trademarked?



Good idea, would be cool if they could add this for players too.

I still want to rename fiefs because Nova _____ isn't cutting it.  Plus, everyone wants to say they've been to MURDERTOWN once in their lives.

I've been there in my wildest dreams.

Man, that's a good thought. I'd really, really dig the ability to rename fiefs. Maybe for a fee in strat gold, or production points or something. That'd be dope.
