World Road System

[Zor95]

But gravel is ugly. And you people seem to think that when I say hardened clay I mean any color. Most look really bad.

And yeah, it ought to be enterable from the roadside. How does this look:

Horses can jump fences/walls easily so fence gates can be used much more sparingly for those walking.

We build castles, wield swords and bows, ride on horseback, have rudimentary irrigation, a fully developed system of phonetic writing, and a means of copying what we write that amounts to a printing press. We are at the very *least* a medieval world, and in medieval times they had roads. In the bronze age they had roads, centuries before medieval times. In Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the road that wraps around the Imperial City is called the Red Ring Road. In GoT, the road connecting Winterfell and King's Landing is called the King's Road. Neither of those had arches or stone walls along the sides, or were even lit.

It's a road.

 

[Cryptite]

If it's a road, then it oughta be cobble or something; I'm not aware of many clay roads, plus it looks so awful.

I'm actually not opposed to just making it cobble. It'd make building it much easier.

How does Zor feel about this:

 

[Deathstrider]

TBH, The original road building material for roads connecting places to places would have been cobbles, just take a look at any pre-tarmac area in the world with roads, chances are it's cobble

 

[Opyc]

All original roads are gravel or stone like product. Nothing is made of clay.

 

[JocelynReed]

I really like the clay look, however If the server votes against it then I would ask that the world trail not be made of cobble or gravel.


please reconsider smooth stone or wood.


Also please space out the gates a lot more and when you do place them make sure that it is two gates side by side. Horses are unable to pass through one gate alone due to their body size.

 

[Opyc]

I think the world trail should be 5 wide with gravel because its a easy to obtain in mass quantities and when done right it looks good. Also the bridges should be made out of wood because its easy to obtain as well.

This thread is not forgotten, just on hold for now, to be revived when we have more active towns and people interested.

 

[mopb3]

I still think this'd be brilliant too.

 

[0Fluffy0]

Is this project still active?

[Ronshaud]

Im intrested in this idea, just like the world rail. If this becomes a thing in loka, i would be more than glad to help

[MasterAegon]

The world rail has taken precedence and has large portions already done.

 

[Cryptite]

That said, this can always be a player-run thing. Nothing changes that; just takes the willing. I do think the future will hold more opportunities for this, though.

 

[Artagan]

It was always intended to be player run and exist alongside the world rail.

 

[MasterAegon]

Well you're welcome to head up the project, ofc

 

[Zor95]

Just sayin'...

We're getting an official road block in 1.9. However many months away that is.

 

[MasterAegon]

I'm still undecided on how I feel about those =/
