Remote Declaim

Post by hawah »

The ability to remove your personal claim from anywhere, in case you can't reach it for some reason.

Some of our villagers had their personal claims taken over by others, who used village claims to teleport past the walls. Now we can't reach our claims, even for the sake of removing them and moving on. The ability to conquer someone else's territory is an intended feature, and that's fine, but things as they are can ruin a character and his descendants if the invaders never remove the claim themselves.

I already intend to implement this. The current claims don't support the functionality, though, but I plan to fix it along with the upcoming village system updates.

I'm not really sure why we can't just have multiple claims: it'd be nice to be able to claim a home as well as a resource like a mine. You could just add an LP penalty needed for each subsequent claim; make it exponential so that after 2-3 it becomes too demanding to be worth it. Something like:

Code: Select all

cost of initial claim = current base cost * 5^n
where n is the number of claims already owned.
