ARSON

[dagrimreefah]

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'...

Newbs would perish even more. :s

[ninja_yodeler]

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

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.)

Got to agree I like the idea, though I'm not sure about game balance.

I like the idea, but it's already really easy to destroy stuff. I don't know if we need to add being able to torch whole villages in a few minutes.

Yay, soon mass alts in linen clothes running on enemy walls with torches!

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.

What would happen if you logged in inside a burning building :S

Drain SHP quickly, so if you can't put it out, you have to hurry and grab valuables, rest outside, repeat. Not sure of a way to balance putting the fire out.

I can just imagine someone dying trying to get their pearl necklace out
