A bit. What has happen to Oakheart and Abbey 2.0?

What has happen to Oakheart and Abbey 2.0?

Oakheart has become something of a new player housing area. Abbey 2.0 has been replaced with 3.0 as I was impressed with Jacobian's leadership and the growth of Oakheart whereas the Abbey had remained stagnant under my leadership. I've also decided to leave the area soonish for my own reasons.

Bump. We're still recruiting. (Not accepting fake alt accounts from AD.)

I would suggest you guys to address and secure your abbey as the Sevillian market:
- Constructions that cannot be moved (kilns, ovens, smelters) should have both trespassing and theft permission. But no vandal, so your industry won't suffer from the betrayal.
- Movable stuff like cauldrons, anvils and looms should have only the trespassing permit. People will still be able to use them, but won't be able to move them away.
- Do not give theft, vandal, trespassing permissions to anyone new in the village. They should be able to work within their plots (make sure their claim does not cover their gates), or designed areas (have a separate plot for farming, since it requires vandalism). That way the enemy won't be able to build a minehole to get inside of your village.

Hey there, Jacobian! I think I'd like to bop about and try my newbie hand in your little setup! As soon as I figure out whether or not I can get the name Anno back, or if I have to make Anno II, I'll toss a message your way. Probably here, because I don't know how to whisper in-game.
