Hey guys Whats up?,
I have decided to wright another suggestion for Boat usage.This idea was gonna originally be for my game but I think terra could make better use out of it.
My suggestion is to make it so players have to use boats to get from one island to another.and before anyone starts to say anything about the coding for it I already have the boat sprites and I could talk to tom about finishing the script.The script to fix the boats is very small and simple I did it in like 2 hours on my lingo based server and I barely know lingo.
This idea would bring more adventure and fun to the game and could also have the potential to start a new style of pvp.I have the movements for the Battleship too but I think that would be a later project.
This would also have the potential for players to purchase their own small island to put their houses and hang out spots and maybe in the future set up shops to sell stuff or just make it their own pvp area or private arena area.The possibilities are endless.
I think this would also be popular with new players it would bring much more fun and intensity to the game.We could get some spriters to make some sunken ship tiles and what not to go along with it.
I don't think that something like this would be impossible to look into at all after all war at sea was a big thing back in medieval times and that is what the game is based on correct?I dunno I just feel like that players would like this plan.

Thanks for reading and considering my suggestion =)...please reply with suggestion to make this better.

Bet you haven't made them

Bet you haven't made them fire cannonballs yet aye? Tongue They were basic scripts lol. You could steal the airships and modify it just the slightest to get the boats and battleships working. Might be better off doing the same kind of affect as air ships.

So what your saying is to do the same thing with boats that you do with airships correct?...that wouldn't change anything (if that is what your getting at) the purpose of this is to bring new methods of pvp and regardless of whether I got the cannon balls to work or not doesn't matter...it is just a suggestion on how we could improve the game and make it bigger...but yet again thank you for your suggestions <3

I didn't say exactly the same

I didn't say exactly the same But its unethical to have a battleship travel from say escher docks to antwerp docks. You could though have 10+ maps with exits to other docks otherwise it'd be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Lol thats pretty much what I was trying to get at all except make it more of an adventure not to long but not to short.Like I dunno going from noob island to main island could be like 10-15 maps away and it could be like 3 left 4 up and 3 left then you hit a warp but it ain't like a warp that your like all the sudden there it should be like a warp that takes you to another normal screen where there will be a dock or something.
I mean ya know ya have to like the idea about owning your own island right? lol I know that it wouldn't be bad at all to own my own island and make it whatever I want >.> would bring alot more interest to the game =D, well for me atleast.I dunno it would just have to be something that should get looked into agreed?

There's always been issues

There's always been issues with that concept. There isn't enough room for 50 islands etc. A better idea would be limit them to Guild Halls.

I don't think this idea would

I don't think this idea would work for terra anyway, as the world is separated into "quadrants", if you will. For example, Escher is based around x15500y15500 or thereabouts, while Reet is based around x8000y8000 if I remember correctly. So when you have regions placed so far apart, boats are not plausible. maybe if something sorta like the Airship system was done, then maybe, but not as it is now.

Did you bother to read the

Did you bother to read the topic at all? We did take this into consideration with the idea and that was why the docks would have warps to them, if you bothered to read it wasn't just because of the distance issue but to bring all the maps closer together which is were your downer comment comes into it. I say downer because all I've seen you do on your return is complain that nothing is up to your standard, you've put down everyone's work and ideas also and you think your the god thats going to bring this game to number 1.

No, I didn't read the whole topic. And I never said I think I'm gonna bring this game to number 1, nor do I care if it gets to number 1. I just state things as I see them, and the way I see things, this game isn't gonna get anywhere if the admins don't start looking at things differently.
