The thing is, No one is playing this way, The server is too small to support large factions and as such everyone is just building bunkers. As much as I would love to be able to build and defend an actual city we do not have the population to support more than 1, At a stretch 2 cities.

If we were a bigger server then it would be great, But we are small and as such we have to think small.

I said towns not cities. And there are 4 factions, including my own, which have claimed more than half of their max land. Just because you think the only viable way to play is to make an obsidian bunker base, doesn't mean its automatically true. MnC/AWE/DT are not the only factions in the game you know.

We'll see about that!

Never played on a dedicated faction server, I know a few of the guys tried to introduce something similar on their own pre update but never really took off. Look forward to getting in, just gotta wait for that illusive whiteLising.

The difference between the three you listed and every other faction on the server is we have seen combat and we know how best to protect ourselves. Look at Gardai's town, There are no defences, Houses are made from wood and single creeper can get into any house. Sure you may be building a pretty town but this is factions, You build defences first.

The fact a faction has claimed so many chunks not only risks their land even more, But will stretch any defence they have. Lets say a 10 player faction owns 100 chunks and only has 5 players online at any time, You hear the enemy is attacking. Great, Now you just need to search a 1600x1600 area which has all your pretty houses stretched all over it for a single experienced enemy who is burning, looting and running. You don't stand a chance.

I admit that saying cities was a bit of a stretch but my point still stands, There is not enough players for there to be both a variety of factions and have practical large creations. To compensate for the lack of players we need small factions to provide a larger pool of potential enemies/allies and small factions can not build and defend large creations.

I think we've moved away from the arguement that the larger factions should be capped at 5 for power reasons. The reason why I'm still advocating a 5 man faction is the fact that the more factions there are, the more fun there will be. Mainly because there will be a lot more raiding and defending.

This has nothing to do with how to change the server but I had an idea for a server event but one that happens on the faction map with prizes etc.

Even though the olympics are over, I was thinking of an event where several different activities are chosen, such as spleef etc.
Each faction can choose one player to enter in an event (the same player can enter several if mutually agreed by the faction)
To make it more interesting, but I'm not sure how well this bit would work, each faction can opt. to build the "venue/arena" for each activity.
For example, MnC build the spleef and AWE build boat course (I dunno yet what else we could do :P).
The winning faction is the one with the most points and they win some prizes.

Let me know your thoughts. If we ever did do this, it would probably be best to wait for more factions and the 5 player limit as atm its a bit of a mess imo.

I am not so sure asking factions to build event structures would be wise...

cnc would most likely line the entire arena with tnt, Blow it once everyone is inside then kill himself while setting the loot on fire.:pac:

Xenon560

Haha I can imagine.

Obviously there would be rules against that kind of stuff

I would like to inform Creeps that half their base appears to be missing....

I wouldn't be too complacent. If it happened once, it could happen again.

nimrod86

So what's after happening to creeps base this time? Just logged on and Buttany was dancing around some cobble on the surface :eek: I made haste and logged out as he turned to attack me. Seems like he is camping our spawn.

Were the doors left open again or something?

Whats the story so, wasnt on yesterday at all so I'm assuming it all went to hell then? Would it be foolish of me to ask how you attacked and claimed the land?

Apparently, as with the Dream Team base before it there was a "chunk error" that allowed them to do so.

Its so strange how these miracles keep appearing to aid your alliance buttany. Would seem to out of the Ordinary to me...

If you log on, We will allow you to leave with everything you currently have however your faction is now now dead. You will be required to leave your faction and never look back. By doing so you will gain a 2 day period of grace before anyone can even think about attacking you which is a lot better than your current situation.

You have my word.

Hate to tell you this buttany, but you can't force anyone to leave a faction nor can you declare one dead.

Good luck with the factions lads.
