Zepplin Improvement

[adam]

Tyhm seems to like Dragons...

GREAT ME TOO

[Juron Pilo]

dragons are just one form of a 100 mythical beasts.. centering a plot around one form always seems to fail when it comes back to teing it in with the players too.....
BACK ON TASK PLEASE
gah I swear I've spawned what whould be 5 other topics from this one thread... grah...

very cool

I think the tiny Zeppelins are cool but if there are to be armed Zeppelins they need to be really expensive. The whole part about a kingdom's army is who is better equipped and more advanced and better fighters, now if any shmo off the street can build a zeppelin then everyone will have them.
And im not talking hard to craft like g2k1 mining,
im talking like it needs to take up so much resources that everyoen in hte kingdom is going to need to work together for awhile to get all the resources, and then it will take a while to craft... that way sure if everyone (like 10 people) work constantly for two hours they might have the resources, and get it crafted, but unless everyone in the kingdom likes spending all their times making giant zeppelings, they will be in not so gigantic supply and will be strategic and an advantage.

I dunno about overdoing the cost factor... your forgeting that everything is descructable.... so about a medium price would be more reasonable... say about 5 gold or 2 diamonds and 3 gold?

Higher the price more chance you want to keep it alive

Also you should beable to salvage almost everything. Getting between 40-75% of the material back

Boat Wrecks
Zepplin Wrecks
Destroyed Catapults
Etc

[Juron Pilo]

I'm saying don't make them so impossible to build and maintain that nobody bothers to use them ok? the wrecks idea is cool... no need for ownership of them though=D who says the enemy can't salvage the material=D

Im talking about a mega huge war airship,
duh everything is destructable but this would be a ***** to make,
but once youve made it its a ***** to destroy,
but of course the enemy should be able to get wrecks,
its called spoils of war,
when i meant really costly i meant like 300 wood and 100 gold and 100 iron, but this would be like almost the length of the screen and would be armored (the ****pit, and the baloon would be really tough leather or whatever) and it would have bombs and stuff.

.....err Lets just have small Zepplins with a coconut bomb launcher

[Juron Pilo]

airships I imagine would require more than one person to operate... so keep the zepplins as personal flight crafts or for small bombing/spying squads.... and thus a little cheaper to make as people might want to have small groups of them attack eh?
how about we negotiate to around 90 total resources for one.... and that seems a bit steep to me

[jeff335]

Agreed it must be a plan from the Classic times. I once came up with a decay plan from classic to newmain...obviously, you get to 2k2 from newmain with some seismic trouble. I say it's all the same world. Same continent even. I even managed to justify why the population centers changed et cetera. But anyway, I find the Ancients to be a better way of introducing anachronisms than the Zalactics.

The tiny zeppelins of course wouldnt be so hard to build,
but likewise they would be personal flight craft,
and they would have to have some downsides,
because if they dont no one would use any other transportation,
they should still be expensive though,
so only hard working players could get them,
cus you know not every average guy owns a personal propeller aircraft or light aircraft etc...
what I was talking about that really takes a shitload of resources are like giant zeppelins that take a crew of several people to operate, someone to control it (steer, and altitude),
then a bombardier, and other people to do other stuff,
maybe using the existing zeppelin style i will make a graphic of what im talking about just to give an idea of what i mean.

[haunter]

I think gigantic airships would be great (to bad its too early for an albatros or something) It would spark co-operation in players when they try to fly it/ shoot it down.

[feivel]

That would be funny if someone made a Graal WWI server.
HEHE with zeppelins, and biplanes, and doughboys (not the one in the cookie commercials) and I can just see my flying a Fokker heheheheh.
