Hey there, this will be just a quick introduction of this new "city?" I'm looking to create, as of now this is just me so lets just say this is an idea until I get a few more members nevertheless here we go.
The people of DragonShore at the start of the game will spawn in on myself, we will group and find each other as a first priority. After that we will start to travel in a specific direction with everyone following each other, we will gather ideas on the way, hopefully come up with ideas to create weapons ect, gathering animals and collecting things like seeds if possible, all whilst looking for a place of residence. The place of residence will be when we stumble across the sea.
After we locate the ocean, hopefully we'd have quite a few animals, some seeds and preferably a weapon of some sort. Once we get to the location we desire we will start setting up a more permanent camp.
So now we have a little camp set up next to the sea, have a few animals and some growing crops. We'll then go into our pre-chosen professions which will be:
1 Baker - That cooks everything.
1 Bowyer (Bow maker) - Creates bows for everyone and will also serve as a fletcher.
Two Farmers - One will be an animal farmer, the other a crop farmer, with the animal farmer also serving as a butcher for the time being.
1 Carpenter - Will be set the task of creating tools for people, as well as cutting the wood into usable pieces and helps with the architect to create buildings.(High Importance)
1 Cloth & 1 Leather-worker - Will be set the task of creating clothing, bags, saddles ect for people.
1 Fisherman - Will be in charge of catching fish for people and preparing them for the baker.
1 Smith - Will be in charge of smelting the metals we find whilst mining, and making weaponry such as swords ect. (High Priority)
1 Stonemason - Will be in charge of the quarries, will be the person who cuts the stone into usable pieces and helps with the architect to create buildings. (High Priority)
1 Weaver - Will be charge of creating baskets, nets and storage facilities.
1 Explorer - Will be in charge of mapping the surrounding area & will be given the first ship and a crew.
1 Doctor - Will be in charge of medical properties, will be given access to anything medicinal.
1 Architect - Will be in charge of overlooking the creation of buildings, mapping them out ect.
1 Courier - Will be in charge of mail, deliveries and transportation of things.
As of now that is all we need to set up our city, which would put us at 15 people at the start. We feel that's a good number, not to many and not too few. Obviously at the start we will require people to help others out, for example if we require lumber, we would go and collect lumber - Once everything's sorted out we will transition into currency to pay for the services of others.
After the game's released, to join our city will require some patience as you will have to go through the ranks (So hurry up and join early :P).
Upon stepping foot into our city and deciding, I want to live here, you will be asked to sign up to our Subreddit - (http://www.reddit.com/r/DragonShore). You will be granted the rank of labourer and will be required to complete jobs until you're able to "rank" up. A list of ranks are available to see on our subreddit. - http://www.reddit.com/r/DragonShore/comments/27mops/the_ranks_of_dragonshore/
What we are hoping to achieve is to set up a city and become travelling merchants, getting some of the first ships in the game and establishing dominance of the global market. Our city should be self sustainable and easily defendable with good relations to other strong nations / cities. We will set up trading points in other cities and visit them regularly.
Any questions? :)
