Where can I build a city?
Quote:
| Quote
(Tasos): you can't build a city anywhere. There are
designated areas where you can build cities. There will be
neutral cities already built that are controlled by npcs,
and a clan can claim them. There might also be places you
can build from scratch, but that isn't decided yet. |
Entering a city I arrive at the keep, whats
that?
Quote:

(): Keeps are huge structures, and comes complete with
halls, chambers, a large dungeon underneath it, etc. |
What happens to my house when I am offline?

Can houses be lockpicked?
Quote:
| Quote
(Tasos): About lockpicking: Still undecided. We are
leaning towards no, but we may make it pickable, and have
(limited) secure non-pickable chests inside the houses
instead, to make things a little more interesting.....and IF
we make houses pickable, we will have a few secure chests in
the houses with limited space.....Most player houses won’t
be pickable, but it will be possible to use lockpicking on
some clan houses and doors in certain clan owned dungeons. |
What about my NPC's?
Quote:
| Quote
(Tasos): Thieves can‘t steal from NPC vendors. |
Will there be many npc villages?
Quote:
| Quote
(-----): Yes, there are quite a few NPC villages in the
world. Many of the more intelligent NPC species live in
complete villages with their own unique architecture and
sets of items and props.....villages won't evolve unless we
make changes to them.....While villages cannot be destroyed,
a few of them are built around clanstones or bindstones, and
can therefore be conquered by player clans. |
What is a Bindstone?
A bindstone is where you will respawn once you are dead
Quote:
| Quote
(-----): all bindstones are unclaimed and waiting for
player clans to seize control of them. Some of these
bindstones are guarded by monsters (often entire monster
communities) while others are very well hidden. |
Can I build me a Castle?
Quote:
| Quote
(Ricki): no, you won't be able to build a castle
anywhere. A city most probably be the only place a clan can
build or extend a clan-headquarters.....Only a clan will be
able to build city structures, and only in a city-area. |
Can you tell me something about Sieges?
You can besiege cities and take them over. There are warmachines
in the game.

| Quote
(Claus): Darkfall is not so much about "play to
crush" - "play to have fun" is my favorite
Darkfall mantra. We are aware of the problems and pains
involved with city siege and capture. We are testing out
several setups, trying to make it worthwhile for the
attacker, without hurting the defenders so much that they
can never get back up on their feet again after loosing a
city. We will not limit capture, but we may limit
destruction of structures to some degree. Meaning we may
allow the attacker to burn down a few structures if they so
desire, but not everything. Normally one or more clans that
own a city will be quite a few people. And game mechanics
will make the takeover of a city a non-trivial thing that
takes time. This makes it easier to alert the people that
belong to the city, so that they come to the defense. |
What if I am not online when someone
besieges my city?
Quote:
| Quote
(Ricki): Interesting idea, however we think it’ll be
better to just use NPC hireling guards to protect your town.
You also have the option of choosing a rude awakening
available to you since we’re planning several ways through
which you can be notified when your city is under
attack.....A city will also have some kind of defense, i.e.
a city wall /castle, so you can defend it against attackers |
Will there be Underground cities - Dwarf -
Alfar?
Quote:
| Quote
(BT Oren): Dwarves and Alfar will be able to build towns
both in subterranean lands *and* on the surface. Their
houses are hybrid designs, suitable for both surface and
underground locales. |
Can I dig out my own underground complex?
Quote:
| Quote
(BT Oren): Players will not be able to create their own
cavern-systems. |
And to summarize this one up
| A
player cannot own a city, a clan can. And if your clan is
only one person for some reason, then you are in trouble |
