Re: Minecraft - An Elithian server?

by **Aegonian** Thu Dec 02, 2010 8:23 pm

Gathering resources is done in the farms and mines, waging war is done by plundering other villages and killing all those inside (Not destroying buildings, for rebuilding them would take too much time.)
I have tried to find a program that allows me to shape the map as I wish, but I couldn't find any. Now, the map was randomly generated, and the location has been moved from Hyrolia to Elithia, because our texture pack changes the sun into three suns, and the moon into a double moon.

And @ Thunderpants: I think you're a Hy'ui now, because you don't have any elven ears. You can still change your skin (and thereby your race) whenever you want, so you're not bound to being of one race.

Hybrid anyone?

That would explain why I live in isolation...

That's possible too, of course.

That means, if there is a war going on, you still are not allowed to destroy buildings in enemy villages.
You should check out this site.

by **thunderpants** Thu Dec 02, 2010 8:47 pm

What about special Siege structures?

So you could make special buildings to buffer the enemy and the enemy can try and destroy...

But of course you can trap the buildings, (Hidden lava springs, Sand/Gravel drops, TNT pit falls...)

by **Ryiin Taemera** Thu Dec 02, 2010 8:54 pm

Good idea, but how can these buildings get recognized?

by **thunderpants** Thu Dec 02, 2010 9:00 pm

Made of planks as opposed to logs or cobblestone?

Also is the server currently up? I cant Connect!

Oh and a solution to why the Game has a different map than Elithia...

It's a different time period...

You should be able to connect now, you got the port at the end?

It says

Failed to connect to the server

Connection timed out: connect

Lemme restart Minecraft!

Nope still failing....

Nice idea to include those siege structures, but we'll have to decide how exactly they are to be built and destroyed before we actually include them. Using planks probably doesn't work, for there will also be villages made of planks, instead of trunks.

And altough it is true that the Minecraft server of Elithia is probably in another time period or even another dimension (The events of the Original Rolplay probably won't affect the MCRP), but don't forget that Elithia is HUGE, and that our map probably won't ever be so large that it wouldn't fit in with the current landscape anymore.

by **thunderpants** Thu Dec 02, 2010 9:17 pm

Okay great,

Why do we not have the siege structures permanently placed but destroyable?

Also who will be the King? I mean we need someone to run to the place and prompt the storyline... and maybe give out Quests...

by **Ryiin Taemera** Thu Dec 02, 2010 9:21 pm

Made the server work again, thanks for reporting failed to connect!

by **thunderpants** Thu Dec 02, 2010 9:25 pm

Thanks, I've manged to connect!

by **Aegonian** Thu Dec 02, 2010 10:19 pm

Hmm... I think we should first have everyone play for some time, before we choose a king. Oh, and maybe we could use that council I spoke of as the King's advisers or so!

I think that once all villages have been built, we should think of a current storyline together, before actually starting the roleplay and activating PvP. Hopefully the game will be in Beta once we start the roleplay.

Oh, and parts of Gerynia have been rebuild already. My house, that of Ryiin, the general store and the smithery have been finished and look quite much like they did before, thankfully. Tomorrow we'll finish the forest and watchtower, and possibly even start constructing the second village.

I will all tell you the sad story of me and piggy in survival mode, a tale of friendship, loss, and depression.

I started survival mode in a big rock circle thing. i built a observatory from the trees i found.
I noticed an entrance, so i decided to go there.
I was greeted by squeletons and a pig.
I ran back and quickly built a wall. I soon killed the squeleton and then i killed the pig for the healing power of the meat.
Skiping ahead, I saw a cute piggy bouncing around im my command center.
I killed it, and saw anouther, and was about to kill it, when i realized, what am i doing?
I let the pig live, and we became friends.
Skipping more ahead, i remember this squeleton attack,
Which seriously injured me, i was at half a heart.
I had to make a heart breaking( no pun intended) decison:kill piggy, or go out and look for resourses.
I picked the latter, and soon i found a bunch of trees, i climbed one, and jumped to a lower one.
BAD idea. i die, I am heart broken since piggy is going to starve to death, and the last thing i saw:SCORE:260.

Thanks for listening.

Actually, must there be a king? I don't have the game yet, so I don't know how things work too well.

Well it wouldn't be needed for the game, but it would be needed for the roleplay to work well...

Although a council would work to, we just need a Higher ranking and lower ranking so that the lowers can do quests for the highers whilst the highers can look after the lowers...

Perhaps a mayor of each town? Then a council of mayors?

by **Aegonian** Fri Dec 03, 2010 12:52 pm

Mayors would work fine as well, or maybe there should just be some sort of 'guild', which gives out the quests and provides the rewards. There would be a guild in every village, but all guilds will be owned and run by one group of people. The owners of the guilds live in their own guild, and will sometimes meet in some special place, to discuss new quests, the relationship between villages and other such things. It could also be possible for villagers to set up a quest for others, but then they'd have to provide the rewards themselves.

Guild of madness anyone?

Or maybe Ranged Combat... However I would need a mod to supply me with string as it's impossible to get without enemies on...

Dangit! Stop talking about this game!! You make me feel like I must get it!! Sad

Either stop reading about this awesome bargain deal of a game with extra Awesomesauce and Tacos or get it then!

We prefer the later rather than the former!

by **_IncoherentRain_** Fri Dec 03, 2010 5:26 pm

Okay... I'll stop reading it then...

by **Veoline** Fri Dec 03, 2010 5:55 pm

Actually, what are quests for? Are they used to gather ressources?

I had the idea since normal users won't have access to some items as they are really rare or only get-able via killing baddies, which we have as off...

So quests would be things like bring me, 64 bits of leather, and in return you get 32 spider strings... They would be set by the mods who have the ability to create items from scratch!

No just get the game!

by **Veoline** Fri Dec 03, 2010 10:14 pm

Oh, okay, thanks for the reply. That would be interesting, for sure.
