Game Development: Castles in the Sand

[overtyped]

Now with this, should we be looking for different forms of seige engines coming to the game soon?

It's certainly something we want to work with, yes.

I can add that it becomes a lot easier to think about that matter when it is decoupled entirely from the question of peaceful interactions.

What happens if the claim doesnt cover the whole village, if you step off the claim inside the wall, can you commit crimes again?

its not a positive change this is v dumb jorb y wud u do this!!!!!!11

Again, nothing has changed if you were raiding "legit". You're basically complaining that a bunch of cheesy 'sploits are no more.

If you dig through enemy mine, and go up to the surface to find a brick wall / palisade with open gates, does that count as entering the village as a visitor instead of a raider?

Stone tower building requirements.

We can't design away stupidity entirely. If you let people in you should, indeed, make sure that your layout has integrity.

stealing keys is very legit and towns with plots are nearly impossible to raid now

TBH, a change this huge should be a restart, not that I would like that.

...? Yes? If you pass through a claimed gate then you, sir, are a visitor.

[loftar]

Does that mean stealing a master key is no longer a ticket to plunder?

Yes, but that being said, you should perhaps hold off on giving master keys to strangers in case we change this mechanic. ^^

[Drevar]

If a master key is stolen, and you stand outside the gate, not on the claim, can you change the lock?

edit..Also is the mechanic directional? Like if you pass through a reversed gate (normally exiting) does this still function?
