Game Development: A Touch of Vengeance

Haha, thats pretty great for villages and nabs that can't afford vandal alts (or anyone who doesn't have one premade).

An easy guide to ruining a nab's day:
1) Drop claim
2) Build a ram surrounded by layers and layers of fences(more fences = more vandal scents = higher spookiness level, ideally you want to max this)
3) ?????
4) Spookify your target.

Thought of the same thing, tbh

i know it's been mentioned at least once or twice already, but i'd like to just touch on the thought that the nidbane should only be able to be attacked (or seen!) by the character that it's going after. otherwise it becomes a trivial matter for a village or a hardcore hermit to set up a combat alt/crime alt system for dealing with them.

You get around this just like the freakin' villages get around it. Plan ahead and use only what you need to. Don't commit your big combat hunter to breaking it. Bring your high strength, low skill miner, break the ram, and then use your hunter to pick off the nidbanes.

As much as I like the concepts behind this update, it really does need playtesting to get the kinks in design worked out, which is why this is an ALPHA level game. This IS the test server. Get over it. your life here is nothing but an experiment for your overlords.

...an experiment some people are paying $10-15 monthly for, heh.
But fair enough, it is an alpha game.

Hope I didn't sound too harsh with that. Updates like these always leave me feeling a little... perturbed, I think is a good word.

Yeah, the fact that many are paying a sub on it does give a sense of more finality. I, at least, try to look at it more as continued positive support for good updates. I can always choose to stop paying if I don't like direction things are going. (Discloser: I haven't been paying a sub for various reasons, but the reasons do not include dissatisfaction with the direction of development.)

There is pre-emptive defensive solution to this. It's extending your claim more than 25 tiles outside your walls so that the ram breaks at your claim, giving you 8 hour window to destroy it while glue dries from repairing it.

Dafels mentioned having animals give useful curios, and I remember thinking that a few times while playing.
