The idea would be that visitors are more important. Only big cities with many visitors are capable of maintaining walls etc. Instead of kicking them out, people invite them in.

We Free Peasants of Fisdnar do not understand this "kicking them out" concept. Here in Fisdnar, we allow all walk of life. 4g per hour 3g Northern Perches to craft. Come one, come all, to Fisdnar to craft your dreams come true!

I was just made aware of this and i will betatest the shit out of this on monday when i get home both in the castle and the fief.

chadz big kudos to you this time, this is the kind of stuff that strat needs. The ability to do stuff with your fiefs/castles/cities. =D

Next up buildingimprovements to boost income etc?

I can't get it so that other people can see the server I host.

I've done all the port forwarding stuff and my hosted server is visible on Native and in the non-launcher cRPG but it is not shown when i use the launcher.

I presume it is being filtered and if this is the case then it makes building together a little awkward :D

Looks like if this "more people in town more you can build" thing happens, Fisdnar would be a great northern fortress in no time at all.

I would make a wall. a very very high wall. It will have a few small platforms standing out so with 5-6 siege ladders from platform to platform you can precisely reach the top.

I would buy 5 great mauls, and be invincible.

i am sure it would not be that exploitable system, anyhow i am wondering as well if that is wotrking now and if not when it could actualy be working?
people are like potatoes, they come in different shapes and sizes and they all are beautifull
masturbating while looking in a mirror isnt wrong unless its the rear view mirror and you are driving a school buss.

it doesnt matter if you are happiest person or an unfortunate weeper, a powerfull beast or a terrifying creature. we are all equal, in the eyes of the reaper.

...
how would you abuse it?
Building structures in a way
- to get secret exit points, glitching through them without the enemy getting back inside the same way.
- that laddering wouldn't work
- that several walls behind the first will make catapults useless
- build structures into each other that you can use leavers only from one site which is good protected
- build structures in a way that flags would be unreachable
...

to prevent abuse, the following rules will be established:
can't build close to scene boundaries,
can't build close to enemy spawn,
all defenders spawn points have to be reachable without aid (ladders etc) (when gates are open). to successfully save, you will spawn as a single attacker and have to visit all spawn points.
Tested this on strat 3. Worked fine.

Kinn has a nice point. Exit doors/ holes that are low enough to jump down, but too high to jump up (with a gate behind it so you can close when they ladder it). High gatehouse only reachable from defenders side.

The first thought that came to mind about abusing it is pretty much what kinngrim said. Even if you have to visit all the flags as attacker to save it, you could make it ridiculously hard for an attacker to reach your flags (really long and narrow route) while you could let your defenders just hop down from some minor platform. Sure, ladders would be a counter for that though.

Also it's not really abusing the game mechanics necessarily per se, but unless a hammer of punishment is waved around like with custom banners most fortifications will be ugly as fuck. When you are fortifying an existing village I'm pretty sure that it'll often be a great idea to just wall of spaces between some buildings and use the existing buildings as walls. That said I bet people would just make giant penises too. Not really a problem, but just pointing it out.

Anyway, this is great. If it works well it'd be awesome if all the towns and castles would be redone so that towns have no walls and castles have just a minor somewhat defensible castle keep and no real walls at all. Players building the walls from scratch for those would be hilariously awesome.

What about having static building foundations? Like a foundation of a wall around the village, foundations for towers in the corners of the walls, and a gate.  then you can pay X and that foundation turns into whatever it's supposed to be.  this would allow building up of villages without any chance of exploitation.
