Jump start to DF economy.

thinktank001

DF has been out for almost a year now, and is still stagnant on the crafter / economy side of things.  I think the biggest problem it faces is that people do not feel safe enough to trade outside their respective clans/alliances.     I've been thinking of a possible solution that would fit in nicely with what is currently implemented.

- Elimination of hamlets.  Are they anything more than a poor man's keep?   Is there anyone happy with their current implementation?

- Elimination of current NPC cities ( except starter ones ), and adding the idea of housing to keeps.   Possibly just adding another wall ( where appropriate ) outside the current design of keeps.

- Adding a limited number of local player run Auction Houses to keeps ( maybe 10 ) that provide a 100% security for items ( if it is not sieged ).

-  Adding the ability to create roads between Auction Houses ( 30% movement speed boost ), and offering those keeps with fortified defenses;  Higher outer wall, more durable entrances.

- Adding or modifying current siege equipment;  huge moveable ladders and catapults to breach walls,  large battering rams, etc.

- Adding the ability to create caravans, transport warhulks, and adding cargo ( sealed chests ) to boats.

They provide good resources and places to PvP.

Disagree with the NPC cities.

No, would negate player vendors.

Building roads sounds interesting.

Yes.
- Adding the ability to create caravans, transport warhulks, and adding cargo ( sealed chests ) to boats.
Yes.

Sorry, that was just my opinion of his proposal. Wasn't saying it's fact or anything.

You're annoyed by my avatar because when you're AFK mining in DFO his eyes are burning into your back ready to pounce and loot your ore, MUAH HAH HAH!

Yes to these... No to anything else in OP.

Instead...move any non-weapon-crafting station to villages, Clan that "owns" village is in charge to protect trades in village and protect crafters in village. - Player need to register trades and crafting sessions in Village, loss to the Clan (in form of gold ?) if such registered trades goes fail.

Introduce materials needed for crafting that can only be produced and transported from capital to village in question with mechanisms to prevent teleporting (possesion of such item in bag forbidds teleport) or need to be transported by special barrows. 

Registered trade routes and required protecting Clan escorts and loss to Clan-Bank in case it goes well...

Role of Clan cities ? enables Clan the ability to "own" Villages, enables ability to build to be able to register such trade routes and be able to act as "defender" and "attacker"...  "attackers" need to "register" attack too or they unable to take  control over barrow and special mat... 

Put good reward for the respective efforts of attackers or defenders...

 

Result..clan missions...local markets.. PvP..
