Makin a road

[bamump2k9]

no, it's not just gonna be those milestones scattered in random places- i'm gonna make a road at least 3 tiles wide that span (hopefully) as far as i can build. it'll be paved, but seems that i keep dieing. When i actually get down to making this road you'll probably be seeing a hearthling with a wagon full of boulders and a plow. This is just a note to ask all of you who still play to not try to kill me if you see me cus i won't have anything but rocks and such.

alright, its me again- since it was mentioned that folks don't like a road cutting through their villages or claims i am making a call out to whoever wants a road near them. Gimme your coordinates and i will see how close i can build. currently the road from Road Builders Mountain will be half a mini-map or so away from a village called New Horizons. The building plans call for the road to hit the lake that is just to the north of that. Then after it hits the lake it will go west towards the mountain at -41,51. If the village to the southwest of the second mountain hasn't expanded or any of the claims west of that haven't the road will continue west until it hits the lake at -62,53. The road will circle the lake until it reaches the northern most part of it and will continue northwards towards that mountain at -63, 42. If any users who follow this route have a village near there and do Not want a road near them state it here in this thread and put down the coordinates.

We are now right on top of Dis!

If anyone has a village that is in the direct path of road construction plans- inform the construction crew or me.

Oh they'll know you've got nothing but rocks. I'd suggest using an alt unless you're in the peaceful zone though. Unless you're hunger grinding your main there's absolutely no need to risk your character for a paving excersize.

I have question your motives here, what exactly do you hope to gain from doing this solo?

[Valten21]

Good luck - I will not kill you if I see you.

When I played I would always do stuff like this. Large scale region shaping projects.

3 tiles is a pretty tiny goal though. Go for 5+ if you want to make it look cool/impressive.

I wish you luck good sir, and remember that random alts can be used for plowing and then you can just let them starve and die so you don't have to have a constant source of food for all your work.

I did this in w4. It was fun and I met some people while doing it. Good luck and if I see you I'll donate a metal plow. Do you know what supergrid you're in?

nothing, i just want a road. heck, if jorb could make so i could build bridges across rivers that'd be nice aswell. Just think- there would now be a good reason to have ox-carts and caravans.

way too much road cus of the previous statement, there aren't that many folks using carts to go cross-crountry.

think about it, now we could trade cross country and maybe i'd see more metal then what i've seen so far- which is none.

Then I applaud your drive and courage to try to create something of permanence in this harsh and unforgiving world.

I agree carts and wagons are underused for long distance transport in favour of oath-teleporting alts, which supergrid are you working in our of interest?

i'm actually not sure where i am. or even how to find out, i'm guessing it invlolves cartography?

The cartography skill isnt that useful, you are better off trying to find yourself on the world map http://algeralith.info/HavenMap/ then posting the link if you want to reference a specific location.

Mountains and lakes make good landmarks, although it may take you some time to find yourself.
