EDIT Version 1.2:
Government Action: Deconstruction Orders
Who can use: Lawspeaker and Chieftan Only
Cost: 50,000 Authority (This is cheap when you are in a active and big village, i would even say makes it 100k so you must be an older village with banners expanded already)
Ability: Target "Building" or "Wall" or even "Object" within the said village claim will glow/fade with yellow color for the next 1 minute. All Soak reduced to zero. Cannot work on objects that are over a personal claim even if it is within village claim. Said p.claim must be revoked first. CANNOT BE USED ON PERSONS! Object cannot be repaired during effect.
Effect: Single Target, no AoE effect
I can't forsee any abuse of this method... other than if your LS or Chieftian wishes to grief their own village?
------------------- ORIGIONAL SUGGESTION------------------
Item Name: Movable Scaffolding
Cost: 2 glue, 5 rope, 20 wooden blocks, 10 wooden planks, 2 hard metal ingot, 10 dreams
Repairs: Glue
Speed: 2 on pave, 1 on rest
Restrictions: Can only be built by chief/LS who belong to an active village on active village claim (cannot be build on p.claims on village claim, or moved out of v.claims or moved into a p.claim). Takes 24 hours to set in glue, repairs take 8 hours before usable. Scaffolding Ability will only be activated when chieftan or lawspeaker has "mounted" the scaffolding at top to give orders, anyone else who mounts it will be able to move it but the scaffolding will not activate its ability. For each minute in use, scaffolding takes damage and reduces authority by 5000. Moving scaffolding on wheels will also take damage and cannot move outside of village claim area.
Ability: Any construction within radius equal to that of a beehive gains a 2x build boost. But main purpose of scaffolding is to reduce building absorb within range to zero to allow for villages to build and rebuild walls when expanding.
Purpose: Allows villages to build and expand outwards while removing older walls, this also helps villagers free themselves from wall griefing and etc. Main purpose is to allow villages to go and change their design instead of abaddoning and rebuilding from scratch at a new location time over time.
Problems:
- Abuse of people who v.claim over p.claim to try and break in. Solution to this would to make the scaffolding effect be null on any buildings not on v.claims or in p.claims. As p.claims > v.claims in order of importance.
- Insiders screwing over the village. Cannot be possiable unless your chief/LS is trying to screw the village over... not to mention the 24 hour period.
- Too complex! Solution to this is a much more basic version. Scaffolding only buildable in village claim areas. Will be an "government" option and deploying the "scaffolding" will use up 10,000 authority right away. Must be built right next to object as the AoE is 5x5 tiles.
