creating a fog of war around a village

its just more of an idea to have a place you can hide a home from people just skimming along looking to steal by looking at there mini map.

Yeah, I understand. I totally get your idea. I just don't think it's a very good one.

What you can and can't do in real life isn't really the issue though, is it? Anyway, I don't see why you couldn't make a homestead kind of hidden from raiders to some extent.

If we are talking about a limited area affect radius, somewhat expensive, and only works on minimap, I like the idea.

people will find a way to search entire landscapes for villages instead of just watching there mini maps?

And you want to stop them from doing so?

Any defence you can employ, raiders can too.

Would you like to make it even harder to find them as well? :s

you find raiders using scents not by finding a random village. this shouldn't be able to help raiders at all.

What you're proposing is that it be hidden from the minimap and from sight, correct? The entire village? If so you wouldn't randomly 'run into it', meaning it would what, magically appear if you have scents of a villager? Still abusable.

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting what you mean, or you're not being clear enough.
If it's just the minimap it doesn't provide much protection as most people use an extended client they can probably go ahead and zoom over those 50 tiles (half a minimap) very easily.

definetly minimap thats for sure. and maybe depending on your distance form a city and perception skill myabe adding it there as well. but the main thing being on the mini map.
