Bridges

[JustasJ]

We could introduce several types of bridges and stairs. People that do not like stairs would like easily destroyable stairs or stairs that can be lifted in order for not to being used by people coming from another direction. Plus we should be able of building stone or wooden bridges/stairs. The issue of boats croosing bridges is quite simple - boats couldn't pass through stone bridges but could pass through lifted wooden bridges since the boatsmen could lift those anyway.

blocking waterways with bridges would be destructive to other players. Travel is often slow and difficult a boat on a river is a faster (realistically I might add) for of travel. If everyone who lives near a river build a bridge, something I would do to get across my river. Then so many peoples mode of travel will be blocked. I don't think a lot of people would like this. So until boats can pass under bridges I would like to wait. I want bridges though. I really do.

Just a thought, but couldn't bridges be handled as a form of built shallow water?

YES THEY CAN!

i think bridges, plus the moats mentioned in the Irragation topic, would be awesome, especailly drawbridges which would make defense a hell of a lot easier. As for the stairs, no thanks, but honestly, the cliffs are like, 10 feet? you could climb, or even jump with a little or no damage, fairly easily. I say just add a Climbing skill, and maybe a grappling hook item for sneaky black ops missions into enemy territory

the cliffs are an abstraction, they could be 10 feet or 100 feet or 1000 feet

when i find the natural ramp the leads up the cliff, it takes me two steps to climb it. those are some small ass cliffs. and why do you comment on the cliff size, but not the whole climb the wall with a grappling hook thing??? PS the grappling hook coulb be a one time use thing. it will stay on the wall for awhile, eventually decay, and it can leave a special trespass scent (like hearth fires leave theft scents) this means Rangers could hunt infiltrators,

cliffs are abstracted in the same way walls are

I am all for bridjes and the grapple hook thing but how about being able to ..erode the clif incase you need you home clifside(castle on hill kinda) or at least a ladder... but of course boats should be able to go under bridges unless you wanted to be a greedy person and build like a toll bring eather for land or sea travel, like they give you somthing to pass... of course water toll bridge would eqquire mechanics or somthing... so the brindge could rise or fall...course i guess they could just go around...so...yea there are kinks in the system... i still support the motion

[Oskatat]

a wooden bridge from one side to another side of a river, and later on stone

you'd have to have a claim on both sides of the bridge though

mechanics and other skills would let you build different kind of bridges

on this, how about a water gate? where boats cant pass
