Copy and Paste Old Cities into Valhalla

[GamingRAM]

As both a way to preserve old and cool structures while giving them use, my idea is to bring old cities into Valhalla.

Wulfkin's Retreat (W9), Aurora, Community Fair could become preserved battle sites within Valhalla.

Sounds like a pretty expensive technology in development time, but I like the idea.

Agreed; not sure it's worth it (it's more complicated than you might think, since many objects in these locations save information specifically tied to the game world which would break them when "moved" into Valhalla, and there are a ton of other issues as well like breakability and what not), but I do like the thought of it. Particularly Wulfkin's Retreat should still be lying around in the last backup of world 9, though the last backup of Aurora prior to being raided is long since overwritten.

I think the concept has unforeseen benefits too. People are (understandably) worried about <edit>losing their constructions to various reasons </edit>, and the idea that what they make could be elected for preservation would be good incentive to keep playing and building fancy structures and villages.

Edited to avoid mentioning something that gets us banned.

that is what screenshot and videos are for to preserve old shit. id rather see game mechanics being fixed and worked on than nice but unnecessary stuff like this.

I think this is a grand idea, and a way to honor these great works.

They would also serve as magnificent training opportunities.

Just give someone trusted and with time ability to build in valhalla or something similar then move it over or something.

[loftar]

Just

Adding permissions systems and "building tools" and whatnot would most likely be more work than just implementing this suggestion as is.

How difficult would it be to add a portal in valhalla which would lead to saves map tiles from world's past?

[Enjoyment]

Though I do like the idea, I think it's almost impossible to rebuild any structure at wallhalla even with god powers. You should have an abilty to log into some third backup world with particular structure to ''film'' every tile of it.and making exact elevation in vallhalla could take a lot of time. So maybe not exact copies but some locations ''based on'' structures from old/current world? It would still require a trusted man with god powers if we don't want to steal all the devs time. And separating rhose powers from current play world could be a hard issue. But idea is cool.
