Realm structures that add special UI functionality

Postby Dakkan » Thu Aug 30, 2018 3:34 am

Some new realm structures that add very optional, non-essential, functions.

Pillar of Authority: Allows those with permission to view a detailed graph of realm authority and a list of specific exp events. Realms that are less transparent to citizens may not want/care about this at all.

Census Stones: Allows citizens to view roster of other citizens, and send kin invites? Also maybe unlocks more detailed citizen perms? Maybe setup so that citizens must visit the stone first to be available. Meant for more social realms as well.

Bloody Outcropping: Displays citizen's kills, KO's, crimes(?). Realm's war record. For a more aggressive realm's boasting.

Basically realm level flavor objects. minor auth drain of course. Make 'em look cool.

Other ideas/types?

Edit:

Austere Slab: Memorial list of dead citizens. Name, Born on Day, Died on Day, Cause of death(?).

Edit 03May2022---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since Realms are still a bit rough and not going exactly how envisioned, I thought revisiting some new realm features that aren't necessary for tryhard grinding or pvp would be good.

Grand Bonfire/Eternal Flame: Just a fancy bonfire-esque structure who's flame intensity is based on the amount of people/territory the realm covers. Maybe it functions as a bonfire too, those are still useless right?

Realm Tier Decorations(Need to be oathed to the realm minimum, maybe have construction perms as well? Realm perms are already a mess but making these structures too easy for anyone to build would somewhat invalidate them I feel):
-Magnificent Fountain
-Opulent Column (decorative)
-Wrought Iron Fence
-Large Stone Planter Box
-Metal Lamp Post
-Ornate Grave/Mausoleum
-Literally anything lol, just do it

Laborer's Monument: List of the top folk with certain statistics like "Tiles Mined", "Dirt Dug", "Trees Cut", "Butterflies Sodomized" and such. Would require these things actually be kept track of though.
Hunter's Monument: Same as above but with animal kills.
Also something with quests maybe, but that information could be dangerous if you can see someone's "Quests" counter tick up in real time. Maybe update the count at irregular intervals like the realm drain is performed.


Council of Oaks: List of Thingwalls in the realm? Probably too sensitive of information now that I think about it. I'm sure there's stuff we could use Thingwall names for though. Austere Slab's "Final resting site"? Or maybe "Died in _________"? Maybe it only works if you were killed/buried inside the realm, otherwise just says "Foreign lands".

Grand Road: Metal road signpost and markers, even further distance between markers, roads are kill nevermind please don't ree at me forum Grangers.

Surveyor's Stone: Increases realm member's max survey area slightly. Calm down, it's just a lil'.

I dunno this stuff seems really easy to spitball ideas for. If the models are reasonably cool then larpers will certainly want access to them.

Definitely think these are a good idea. :)
jorb: I don't want *your* money. You are rude and boring. Go away.
Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

Could be fun. While at it: More reasons to be actually added to the realm (instead of simply be claimed over and forgotten) would be nice.

I thought of that, but (and I need someone who does credo suiciding to verify) do people doing this even bother to get a kingdom oath?

I mainly posted that for the comedy and maybe to gently poke at the fact that it still has yet to be fixed. I like your ideas.
