New Brodgar - War of Newb Defense

Eh, when/if Jorbtar implements a siege system that removes the impenetrable nature of walls, all the major factions will come alive.

The problem is finding a proper balance is ridiculously hard to do.

I agree 100%.
But I think we all kinda realize this isn't the proper balance, and we should fiddle with it until we find it.

I read something that Banok wrote earlier, about a siege system where rams can be placed and go "vulnerable" a few hours before they finish drying, but can only be placed at a time specified by the defending faction. I think he had the right idea.

Calm down there Darkfall

A declaration of war would be an interesting
mechanic, you both pick a time and if you
can't agree one is picked for you at random.

In that time there's some form of guarenteed
vulnerability to both sides by the opposing
faction for X amount of time or until X happens.
(peace treaty signed or Object X destroyed X
amount of people killed etc)

The problem currently is : Place ram, ram gets
destroyed. Place ram, wall ram, wall has no
soak, wall gets destroyed. Place ram in a place
that can't be reached, ram gets camped by 30+
people on either offense or defensive side


However that'd also be Ridiculous because we'd
all be killing eachother constantly

He wants people to continue paying subs and if we get a Salem siege system I'll be letting mine expire

I just want to ask one question to Ainran members (and no, I'm not a member of brodgar, nor a member of R'lyeh, nor a member of any faction/big village).
How much do you vallue your words? Because I remember of an event on the first day of this war (when Ainran killed various members of brodgar), where my claim was surrounded by several players of ainran, and when I did what I was asked for, the last member to leave said something like that this kind of cooperation could bring me some peace.
Just now, while I was building a palisade, someone who I'm pretty much sure is from ainran, fully armored, wielding a sword, just ran towards me on an atempt to aggro and kill!
Am I supposed to assume that this person from ainran doesn't honor its words? As far as I remember, I did absolutelly NOTHING against ANYONE from either sides, but still I'm targeted on the middle of this war, when it was virtually guaranteed I would be left aside?

[bmjclark]

As far as i know, that wasn't us that ran you while you were building your palisade.

There is no guarantees in war mate. Innocents die all the time.
