Village message of the day

Postby zebratul » Fri Aug 12, 2016 7:39 am

Good day, people.
I was frequently annoyed by the fact that it's hard to leave a public message to your villagers. There are no tools for that ingame expect for carving a rock and placing it at everybody's door, which is very tedious.

That's why, after a quick search, i've decided to create this thread with a simple quality of life addition — message of the day for the village chat.
I'm sure everybody's familiar with the concept, so i wont have to describe it.
Just have another option for the lawspeaker in the village tab, which allows you to setup ~150 character message that will automatically appear in your village chat once set or when a citizen logs in.
It may cost some influence, if you feel like it.

Thank you for your time.

Yeah. Even for my 2-4 people villages it was a really lacking feature.
And it's so easy to do

Placing parchments is eaiser than carving rocks though.
Let people have wicker baskets as a mailbox in front of their house and use otherwise useless lowq hide if you really need that form of communication.
It's actually quite fun doing so and a lot less tedious.

You could also push some infoboard ideas that have been suggested a thousand times.

While i agree that it's better then carving rocks, i think that parchments fail to force a person into reading a note upon login. The main point is to deliver urgent and important news or rules to people.
Meanwhile MotD is guaranteed to be delivered when people log in.

Make it hearth magic available to the leader of the village.
Otherwise good idea.

I think a mailbox system is a great idea

Seems as easy for adding and very useful.
