there are *no* plans to break apart the 4 races/cities which come with the game.  I thought I'd made this clear.

granted i refer to a .9.7 server, but ye may wish to talk to robert. i know he assisted strider in legendgard's final war scenario.

notice would appear prominently in the square of a call to arms and a need to patrol legendgard from eythgim troops who had infiltrated the village. they would appear randomly or be triggered by players with evil on their mind.  if the number of troops were to exceed 100, there would be a raid on the bank causing gold and gems to diminish.  the number of troops was indicated in the notice in the square.

there was also defensive measures to be taken, i.e. if dwarven you could fortify the walls around the city, if another race you could patrol and attempt to locate and slay the enemy troops. sometimes ye found them, sometimes not, other times ye saw more sneaking into the square.  all of these activities cost forest fight turns.

there was a fort that had to be traveled too. the players had to have discovered the code to pass through the perimeter set up by rangers who had found the fort. players were given options to batter down the walls, fight troops or a champion who was a big boss.  there were skill specific options at the fort. mystic arts were better suited to wall destruction, the thieves were more suited to fighting.

as well, there was the city of eythgim with its own unique areas of dark evil dread.  for a price, a player could change his skill to deathknight with its own skill set or train further in the dark arts.

basically, in this setting the players had to work as a team to defend legendgard and travel to the fort to eliminate troops.  the war was considered over when the walls were demolished and every last soldier and champion was defeated.

i can see if strider still has copies of his scripts, as well, that i can share and have converted/modified into 1.0.x, if he is amenable. so far, he has been quite generous with his code.

No, I have no plans for anything of this sort.

However, I don't believe such are neccesary.
It is already possible for modules to associate values with a specific city by reasonable naming of setting, the dyn-mod-settings hook and the changesetting hook.  In fact, I'm 99% certain that the world-map module from ages ago made use of exactly these behaviors.

*laugh* I was in the process of extending my previous reply when you replied.. go read.
