[Townships] Colonies

[toadsworth29]

The idea is a kind of township called a colony. It must be tied to a town (or kingdom), whose mayor is its highest authority.

• Township info:
  • 37m radius (75 diameter) ring.
  • Costs 3k-c to make.
  • 150c upkeep.
  • 5 citizens (who cannot be listed as those of the parent town)
• It must be at least 300m away from the nearest town (including the parent town), 50m from the nearest sister colony, and 100m from any other colony (can be grandfathered into proximity of a town).
• Towns are granted 1 colony, cities 2 colonies, and capitals 3 colonies.
• Colonies have the following chain of command:
  • (If applicable) King
  • (If applicable) Kingdom SIC
  • Parent Mayor
  • Parent SIC(s)
  • Colony Governor (appointed by Mayor)
  • Colony SIC (appointed by Mayor/Governor)
  
  EDIT:
• Colonies are not like other townships in that they can be bought and sold by the parent town's mayor (or King).
• Colonies can only be forced off their land if a Town+ ring goes DIRECTLY through it.
  • Colonies can end up very close to other towns, giving the parent town strategic advantages.
  • Kingdom pylons must go around a colony.
  • It can be within 100r of a town ring that was created AFTER the colony.

Colonies already exist. They are normal townships but they can be a part of a kingdom. While not being counted as the first three towns that have to be close to each other. A good example is Tar Valon and KoE last map.

 

[toadsworth29]

I mean as an official way to connect a town and a small settlement.
EDIT: Sometimes even your closest friends can't be trusted (i.e. with leadership), as Shiro-Praxans learned the hard way.

i like this idea and support it.

 

[MoeJunur]

Sounds like a great idea, will be looking for an original 1.8 town to start with

 

[toadsworth29]

Yeah... it'll help us expand to the new map area.

 

[Tyronus]

thank you toad for fixing my idea.

 

[toadsworth29]

Added a few ideas.

 

[Tyronus]

and this might seem stupid but we could also have tps from each one so we can get around to the towns faster-colonies.

 

[toadsworth29]

Nah... there used to be Herogates to every town; but the idea was nerfed.

 

[Tyronus]

no only between towns and there colonys.

 

[toadsworth29]

No, I'm describing a similar idea, that was nerfed; yours probably wouldn't be implemented.

 

[Tyronus]

i know

 

[Sleaker]

this sounds like something that should be a Kingdom feature, not a Town feature.

 

[toadsworth29]

Either way, it would be a really cool addition to the game.

So your basically saying bring back hamlets? There were so many when they existed. I completely disagree with this, then everyone on the map could be a mayor...

 

[toadsworth29]

What are hamlets?
Not EVERYONE can be a mayor, as Colonies cost 3k-c to create and must be tied to a parent town.

 

[OrangeAngel]

It was an olden day HC thing... Trust me any old member who read this would most likely say No...

Bumpity bumpy bump bump.
