Strategus Fief Owners - Building feedback

[Tomas]

As some may have seen:

http://bugtracker.c-rpg.net/view.php?id=296
Now the question is:
how would you abuse it?

How do you define "near" as in can't build near map edge?

Is it something along the lines of "you must be closer to one of your own spawn points than you are to either the map edge or an enemy spawn point in order to build?

[Havoco]

Couldn't u just make a massive wall maze?

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

Do you use construction materials to build it?

[Garem]

Instead of using gates, I'd just make extremely narrow passages. Force the enemy to file in a narrow pass.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out, as this very post reflects the reality that this may be very easily abused.

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

I'm excited to test it out. If it requires labour to compelte it will definiatly result in Fisdnars visiting fee going back down to 2 gold.

[arowaine]

To be honest the best way would be a pre determinated structure like no costumize for example 2 different way to build it with gates/walls/towers determinated by devs(who code it) fief owner pick up 1kind cost (xxxxxx) and start build up wall or tower or gate first depend their priority...but basicly devs should make preset of build structure so player cant abuse it and dev can now give a advantage to defender and make sure its still possible to attack it without getting spawn rapping

[chadz]

where's the fun in that.

People want to build.

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

I wants builds!

Can we please build brothels? The whores are rampant up in Fisdnar, it would be great if we could contain them in one spot. The stuff that gets in the milled bread is not fit to be talked about.

[chadz]

oh right - it only works if your strat hero is in the fief. When you start the gamemode, it will do nothing if you are outside a fief, and it will show the current fief you are stationed in.

Only owners can build stuff though, although they can invite other people on their server to help them build - in theory. Try it out :3

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

Wow Will do, now I just have to get back to Fisdnar!

[BerG]

I think good decision is to make construction cost depends exponentially on the distance to defenders spawn.

After press F3 I got error message

(click to show/hide)

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

or I doing something wrong, because I never play Stronghold

and I can't spawn on this map so I do not know if this is how it should be or not...

[chadz]

did it switch you to a different map when you hosted a server?
if not, then this is probably the problem.
if it did switch map, then it's my problem

[Kalp]

after I hosted a server there was a ruin map, but after few seconds map changed to Gisim [I believe it was Gisim  ]

And I tried to use command buttons on this map and at this point I got error message

[chadz]

ah yes - you were probably in spectator. try joining a team via ESC first (no matter which team).

I'll fix that error message bug for the next release.
