#not reestablished within a day - the settlement becomes a dungeon in shadowlands

Really wanna work on my multiplayer game idea again.... Hmmrrm.

#you start in the world as a weak creature with a soul shard and you gotta bury that to create a respawn point #if you bury it with others' youre in a guild together #you can gather stuff to build a camp then a village then a city #which will attract villagers who are basically lore versions of automating crafting tasks #crafting is not fast and never becomes faster for yourself #the villagers have names and needs #they leave if their needs are not met depending on loyalty also #they die and have kids #meanwhile - you and your guild are able to build the city by raiding into the shadowworld filled with ghosts of great settlements #there is a whole system of laws and privileges and hierarchy #that members can adjust - from authoritarian to democratic #only this level of people can build...etc. #to create a bureaucracy #but then how can you destroy a tyrant? or a tyrannical empire? #grab them soul shards and shatter them #also when a settlement falls - how is this determined? - heart got destroyed and all soul shards returned to their owners - and the heart is #not reestablished within a day - the settlement becomes a dungeon in shadowlands #with bosses that reflect players whos soul shard were shattered #my stuff #personal #anywayyy you build huge guild cities together! :)))
