'seige' Wartown

[Mecharic]

So, here is my idea: See that yellow circle with 'Proposed Siege Battleground Area' (ignore the misspelled siege plz)? Well, I propose a town be built there, with a stone wall, 4 gates (on on each side), a central keep, and some roads leading to it from a short distance outward.

Outside the wall on the side labled 'Imperial Outpost' would be either a camp near the walls (with some catapults, seige ladders, and siege towers) that has a larger tent with a portal for Imperial Soldiers to arrive at the town through; or a tower with a low wall (an actual outpost, long termish). Inside the Town Keep would be the portal for the Alliance forces to arrive and resupply each other.

The town itself would be the battleground. The gate towards the Imperial Side would be broken down, with a seige tower against the wall as well (allowing for Imperial access to the town), and the goal would be to capture the town square (which would have a flagpole for the capture) and both sides would be able to battle it out in the town.

This would add to the Role Play of this war, as well as allow for someone to record the battle and use it in a trailer. It would probably be unclaimed (which allows for easier recording and battle), so it *could* be griefed (I propose both sides agree not to and agree to wage mutual war on anyone who does ). If griefing gets too bad, I'll ask Ulu to convert it into a warzone after repairs are completed (but that would take out some depth, like the ability to break into houses or through walls).

Now, here is the catch: I do not have the resources to build this town myself. I could make the roads and possibly the wall myself, but not the town due to lack of wood, wool/clay, and other such house-building materials. So the basis of this thread is to ask for resources for the construction of this town, as well as volunteers (not needed, I have little else to do on the server but build this town lol).

If you have resources that you want to donate, state the amount of resources you have and of what type. I will then PM you the portal to the town cite (there was an old house there that I have commandeered for the project (bandit)) and you can go there and put it in a chest outside the house (lock the chest with my name on it plz).

Here are some pictures of the town location and the operational base:

This is a great idea! I like it!

 

[Mecharic]

So I have zero people willing to help with this project?

 

[Imboring56]

I have double chests of stone I can sell/donate to you.

 

[Kestenator]

I would like to help, but cannot for a few days or a week.

 

[Madmanking2]

lol right on my old house in the wilderness

 

[Mecharic]

Yea, that house is the base of operations, and contains the portal to the location Its going to be up against the wall when I'm done.[DOUBLEPOST=1360765228][/DOUBLEPOST]This is my progress so far. I have partially completed the keep, finished the basic wall structure (I will add a few towers and catapult towers and some cannon towers). I am mostly complete the main roads, I just need to add the last gate and the road to it, plus a few smaller side-roads. Then build the actual town, which I probably won't be able to do myself. I will ask OctoberGwen to do this as she makes amazing houses I am also going to hire a redstone worker to add various traps to the town and walls.

It would be nice if people from other factions would offer to help. Also be nice if Imperial would agree that this is a truce zone so everyone can work safely together (then Imperial could actually have an input into the design and such). I would like to make it clear that this townis not to be griefed. I will make it my job to ban anyone who griefs this town. Oh, on a happier note, I have decided that the town will be called 'Wartown' (so original right?) unless I come up with a better name later



The two key locations have been decided.

The Keep is the location of the Coalition and Alliance portals. If you can capture it (Put your flag on it and keep it there for a full 5 minutes, record it), you (as the Imperial Forces) claim victory over the Coalition and Alliance forces.

The Camp is the location of Imperial (and allies of Imperial) portals. To capture that base you must destroy all the tents and the catapults. You must record your victory and cannot destroy the portal tent (I do not want to set up new portals every match lol). If the Camp is destroyed completely, the Coalition an Alliance forces claim victory.

So since the coalition has completely failed at so far even attempting to attack the Imperial Empire, we should stage one ? Ide love to see a rolelay event like this, but I fail to see how it would relate to what is actually going on. Mecharic hides in his impenatrable castle, 9thlegion stuggles to keep their head above water on our daily raid, Auxillian has done absolutely nothing so this RP event isnt warrented. Destroying a tent ?

]The main purpose for this is fun, a side purpose to get a video of an actual battle in a town scenery. Besides this, 9thlegion seems to disagree that they are 'barely staying above the water', and I thought they were part of the Coalition? Anyway, if you win here, in an area neither side owns while it is being recorded, no one can say 'You just 1v10ed us' or 'we didn't lose, we drove you back'. Therefor it is a decisive victory, as it proves who is actually stronger.

Sounds like a fun event but we are not fighting this war for a blue ribbon. I personally don't care if they say we lose. At this point I'm used to the constant justification of a loss from our enemies. Our goal is to remove unworthy people from high power position not to get bragging rights. We move toward higher purpose.

But bragging rights would be a nice addition right?

 

[MonMarty]

Worst citadel ever.

 

[Grixer]

Now I'm just butthurt

a) It's not finished b) it's a keep, not a citadel (tbh, I probably shouldn't have made it so big, but I got carried away lol), c) what is your idea of a good keep (one that can be easily repaired and reset)?

Now I'm just butthurt

Eh? What did I do to offend the mighty Grixer? I didn't mean anything negatative

I like the idea, we actually were talking about having a war zone close to the Valryia base with Ulumulu before, but never really acted on it. We might be able to donate some supplies.

a) It's not finished b) it's a keep, not a citadel (tbh, I probably shouldn't have made it so big, but I got carried away lol), c) what is your idea of a good keep (one that can be easily repaired and reset)?

How astute of you.

I was thinking of something along these lines about a week ago. I never did get around to post my suggestion, but it was to use the resources we already had at our disposal. Since the server already had warzones I was thinking why not have some battles take place in them. The warzones are already built and you are able to build/destroy in some of them. Not only this, but it would put an end to the "We won no We won" arguments because there would be a clear winner. The winner of this battle or battles would then go on to win the war and collect the spoils in silver or what have you. I think if they added a large warzone with a similar theme to what Mecharic has already posted that it would be a good event with lots of fun and rp. This way all of the factions on both sides could come together and fight. This could be just one time mega huge epic battle or it could be a ongoing fight where you could just join in when you came online. I know this is slightly different then what was posted originally, but what does everyone think of this?

 

[Mecharic]

Well, I'll still be workin on it. I only hope that when I finish there are still people willing to fight
