I know this idea is highly unlikely to be even considered, but here's my pipe-dream:
A skill called "Arson", which gives you the ability to set ablaze your enemies crops, buildings, villages; in short: add fire to the game (besides a camp fire, that is). Will require a "Potions and Herbs" recipe to make "Accelerant". Then you spread the accelerant, start a normal fire on one of the accelerant tiles, and watch as it spreads and destroys!
Ah, like I said, I'm just dreamin'...

Re: ARSON
could give a use to torches...also if it is just an addon to vandalism/speeds up destroying things i'd like it tbh.
but yeah, probs not likely to happen

Re: ARSON
Torches have a use. We just have the client as it exists, though, and it's easy to circumvent the need for them. (I can't think of a way to redesign the system that wouldn't tax the server more, though.)ninja_yodeler wrote:could give a use to torches...also if it is just an addon to vandalism/speeds up destroying things i'd like it tbh.
Got to agree I like the idea, though I'm not sure about game balance.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

Re: ARSON
I had suggested a while ago that lighting buildings on fire be the only way to destroy them (we were having trouble with super strength characters bulldozing towns). It's too bad the idea was never used, I think it would have been a good solution, and added to the atmosphere of the game.
The idea was that instead of outright destroying a structure, it would burn for several hours before being destroyed. While on fire, it would be impossible to use the structure, but the fire could be put out with some effort, thereby saving the structure.
