- Code: Select all
CONCEPT:
Villages in H&H generally always work on a model of distinguishing members from non-members, with members given access to most if not all of the at times considerable resources. Such villages are usually picky with who they let in, and revolve around select groups, often coming from affiliations outside the game, like DF, SA, etc.
Problems with the standard model: The above is perhaps the most natural way for most people to play. Either this, or being alone. However, the greater the number of members, the greater the village is open to problems pertaining from not knowing everybody (theft, discord over consumption of shared goods, griefing, etc.) As a result, these types of villages generally don't exceed more than a handful of individuals. This can make it a bit less exciting if you are hoping to find others on to work with/trade with/talk to. The result, I think, is a lot of these villages can run out of steam and become ghost towns.
- Now, the Brodgar (and New Brodgar) model:
The idea is not for a 'newbie helper city'. Rather, it is a city based on having no 'inner' 'outer' distinction. No locked and closed outer surrounding wall. Anybody may walk in or out or join (including newbies). This is not a problem as with the standard model, because _shared goods are kept at a strict minimum_. We are talking about a few areas for low Q seed storage, goodies for newbies to take as they please, etc. Nothing vital to anybody at all. This lowers the paranoia considerably, and allows (theoretically) for a much, much larger population, which hopefully makes it more interesting for everybody. Instead of shared resources, each player is allotted a similarly sized plot of land, large enough for a dwelling, and an industry or cottage farm/garden. It is up to the player to have a wall and gate built on their own land, up to them to put a claim on it, up to them to decide who is their friend and who has a key, etc. etc.
So, effectively, we have lots and lots of people living together, each with enough space to keep themselves productive with crafting/farming things, but without so much of the paranoia of not knowing who is around who might steal your shit. The biggest benefit in my opinion is that a city of dozens and dozens of people is possible, even more, leading to a much greater chance that you can simply walk to the central square and start shooting the breeze/selling shit/having some Greek polis style politicing/discussions. A simple democracy could be established with some basic rules, and elections for leaders on the forums every few months. One plot of land = one vote. Take a poll by screenshotting a map together of established plots, and having people identify where they live, to qualify to vote. Easy.
- What we learned from the last Brodgar:
Originally it was pushed for high density living in the middle, surrounded by farms. This created a bit too much of a jumbled ghetto in the end, with hard to access points. theTrav got it right in pushing for enough land each for everybody to have something to play with. We also built a wall in Brodgar, which constrained growth badly. We also built next to a river in Brodgar, with the same results.
What we can do different in New Brodgar?
Long, _wide_ open ended boulevards. No city limit walls or gates (they would never be open/shut anyway). Location in a big area with lots of room to expand, not next to a river. Not necessarily by amazing Q resources (this is debatable, but people can trade for that shit imo). Standardized plot of land equivalent to say, 10 to 16 wooden huts. Grid layout that does not vary, but expands whenever needed with no problems. _basic_ community stuff (like crappy kilns/ovens, crappy seeds) in the plots immediately surrounding the central square. Have the central square have a well near the middle.
The following will be a basic Map, that will be used to build Brodgar, the Hearth Secret will be posted here for the public to join in the construction...
To Further explain what is to be done, the Main Road exiting the Main plaza North, South, East and West are 11 tiles wide and as long as they can possibly reach before being stopped by nature. Along the roads, are the plots for each player, these plots measure to be 20x20 allowing the player to take whatever path they wish in the game. Between each Plot is 5 tiles that will allow for the Claim System Rules and then another plot will be added after that. Continuing until the number of Plots reach 3. This will begin the formation of Blocks which are 3x3 Player Plots, the Middle Plot can be used by a player and claimed or decided among the residents around it if it will be a farm or park or shared space. Around each Block will be another set of 11 wide roads that will meet at the Apex without forming a Plaza. This will allow for max travel while keeping all Plots neat and tidy...
PLOTS ARE TO BE GIVEN TO PLAYERS BY NANOTHNIR OR YOLAN, DO NOT TAKE A PLOT WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION...
To the East of the Main Plaza, is that of the Dock. Here boats, fish and other things that have been gathered by River Trade/Work will be located, when finished this will be the best place to leave the boat, and there will always be a boat to use...
To the North there is plans for a large Scale Farm, this in contrast to the fact that North of Brodgar is a Meadow, prime location for Animal Spawns, allows for something useful and efficient to be built. This is still undecided but seems the best method of use...
Either to the West or the South will be the Barracks and Metal Working Zone depending on which direction we find a Mine in, We think to the West due to there being some Mud Flats over there, but due to no one having the skill to find a mine, we will have to wait...
Depending on where the Barrack/Metal Working Zone is, the Marketplace will be located in the remaining Direction. The Market place will be a large Square which will allow for anybody to set up a Vending Stand due to the fact the Village Aura will not be within it except to allow for Road Signs to be built. There will be ONE Road Sign for each Village that wishes to connect to Brodgar. We hope to be a Trading Hub that will be used by everyone. And to be the location for the Worlds End Party...
The map below will be expanded and updated in time to show the plan for The Main Plaza, a City Block, the Farmland, The Dock, The Barracks and the Market Place as we get them worked out. Please keep up to date with all the news...
