However, instead of having to build the entire world one cell at a time, builders can also choose to use prefabs to help speed up their building time. Cells are perfect for the builder that wants a free-form building method of improvisation. These cells can be placed down in the world in the same manner that blocks are placed down in other games, individually or in groups (Prefabs). Our cells are different though not only size from Minecraft (they will be at least ½ the size) but in other ways as well. Cells are the building blocks of the world, similar to the blocks in Minecraft™ or pieces in Lego™ and other games. To understand how this is going to work, we have to start with the concept of cells.

Thus, one of the goals of our building, crafting and mining systems is to give players that to create the structures that they need to build a new world out of the rubble of the old one. The world of Camelot Unchained has gone through an extinction-level cataclysm and it needs a lot more than a few new screen doors In other words, it’s a real fixer-upper! With the piercing of the Veil and the Veilstorms that followed, essentially, this world was paved over.

Players can sacrifice their own structures to keep them out of enemy hands.

Destroying a structure (instead of picking it apart) means less resources gained.

Buildings can also be destroyed or salvaged for resources.

Upgrades – any player can contribute to upgrading a structure (wood -> stone -> metal -?).

Possibly allow control of NPCs to speed up some activities for high-level crafters/builders/.

Possible “Can I help” coordination, permissions, etc.

Possible use of foremen on projects, mines, etc.

Bring in Prefabs and/or Material/Resources to help build a structure.

Players risk of losing plot ownership if player doesn’t maintain properly.

Plots can decay/degrade overtime if not kept up (Possible – time and/or monetary costs).

All plots have permissions to allow other players to build/help build a structure on a plot.

Can use blueprints, pre-builts/pre-fabs.

Mining in Camelot Unchained will be a complex group activity

The more crafters involved, the more benefits will scale till max.

Players work together to build structures, mine, etc.

Players can hire NPCs to help speed up the building process.

Players will be able to destroy all over the battlefield

5.2 Destruction, Loot and Pillage of Enemy Structures.

Note that The C.U.B.E./Building System is still in an relatively early testing phase and various features, shapes, textures and effects are yet to be added.

Building will be very dependant on mining and gathering for resources, with destruction and pillage, of enemy`s structures being the other source. Players will be able to pick a crafter class that can dedicate to building 100%, including skills and character leveling/progression. Looting enemy structures will be possible, but there will be no player loot upon death. to the ground or to pick it apart and take resources for their own buildings. Attackers, if victorious, will have the choice to either level enemy`s castle/house etc. A well built fortification will give lots of advantages to the Realm controlling it, and destroying these will be far from easy or guaranteed.

This, together with physics, building destruction/decay and fight for resources through territory control gives the whole new dimension to the warfare.īuildings will decay over time (thus requiring repairs and investment) and will also be fully destructable anywhere on the battlefield, that is anywhere on the map but in the starting area of each faction. Building will be one of crucial parts of the war effort: it will include everything from houses and workshops to palaces or fortresses, with eventual huge bridges between islands being mentioned. In Camelot Unchained, players will be able to claim plots and then create structures on those plots using the C.U.B.E./Building System.
