Bolognapwny 137 Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Everyone can build 24/7 on your island. Island owners cannot demolish anything built by a non-company member.  In combat phase 9 hours of of the day anyone can build cannons and whatever else they want on your island. ANYONE can build cannons... EG: why the hell does it matter if I stop my allies from putting down cannons during peacetime... when they can just wait and put cannons up during combat? ( did you guys even use your head on this? ) Structures are a luxury of the defender and should not be something an attacker gets... this is a completely fucked system and needs to be changed ASAP.  So we are clear. You mad a mechanic to please forums nerds that don't play your game. This mechanic is... Anyone can build anywhere... I am guessing this was to allow solos, smalls, and noobs play the game right? Wrong land owner is gonna see this... wait till peace time or not wait and just utterly destroy that place.... The only thing this mechanic does is make it easier to attack the island....   Edited April 8, 2019 by Bolognapwny 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolognapwny 137 Posted April 6, 2019 Seroiusly Devs can we get a response here... If you own an island only people you allow to build there should be able to build...... this has to be the dumbest oversight i have ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Percieval 1,067 Posted April 6, 2019 Hm. I don’t think so, then you will have cartel forming all over the place. If you do what you want to do with it, that means my group can own 40 islands with no one to build on it and very easily defendable because you will just get a notification. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolognapwny 137 Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Kid, im not debating the fact that this is how it is...

Daveroe 6 Posted April 6, 2019 Other companies may build on a Settlement. The company holding ownership of the island can attack others built upon their island at all times. The Settlement owner can only be attacked during combat or war.  So if you own the island you can attack anyone on it. It also says you can demolish any building that is under 12 hours old that any other company builds on your land. So basically you need to maintain your island. If someone you dont like builds on it you have 12 hours to remove it. After that you have to remove it with cannon balls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daveroe 6 Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Hmmm you may be on to something here, I have had a look for the info but can no longer see it. I'm sure it was there a couple of days ago because we had conversations about it in the forums. I can only assume they changed their minds. . Best way is to test it. Claim an island and get someone to build on it. See if you can demolish in 12 hours. But the land owner does have power over cannons, so could just blow buildings away, if you raid someone every day, it's unlikely they will come back. A lot of people have been saying the new claim is the floor block. Just spam place them in the area you plan to build to save the land. Tho I agree it's a bit of a crappy system Edited April 6, 2019 by Daveroe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolognapwny 137 Posted April 6, 2019 I'll test it as soon as I can, but the cannon thing doesnt really matter so long as there are cannon mounts... someone on your land you dont want there or have bad blood with after a falling out could cause a lot of damage with this rule set.

Bolognapwny 137 Posted April 7, 2019 So I have tested, you cannot remove anything someone builds... you have to destroy it.  On top of this... someone can come on your island... put down a foundation and put a cannon down no problem.... this is hands down retarded... before I could claim my island and they couldnt build shit unless they took a claim.. now anyone can fuckin build and put down cannons ... (in a 9 hour window).... like realllly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keins Thallow 41 Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) You can set your flag to allow only allies to build offensive structures on non raid time at least so enemies cant pre place cannons during safe time at least. Â Edited April 7, 2019 by Keins Thallow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are the one who sets that 9 hours window, set it in your strongest hours so you can easily defend that. Destroy those cannons either in that 9 hour window by casual means or after this window by pressing E and destroy War token will cost 100k gold + gems + crystals. It pretty expensive. Most PvP will happen during those 9 hour windows I guess because its free. If they block nonowner building during those 9 hours OR allow owner to be able to destroy any structures through pinwheel even during battle phase it would be practically impossible to PvP outside of war. Edited April 7, 2019 by Willard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daveroe 6 Posted April 7, 2019 Claim owners will be able to demolish structures (via the pinwheel) on their settlements temporarily as long as the structure has been placed within the last 12 hours. After the 12 hour period has passed, they will not be able to demolish the structures using the pinwheel, and must manually destroy it. Claim owners can do this outside of raid hours or warlike. This exists as an anti-griefing mechanism. On PvE servers, we may extend the time beyond 12 hours as players will not have the option to destroy via PVP. I knew it 2as somewhere, although this was a while back and they may have changed things up since then. Has anyone tried using cannon bears maybe they wont work if cannons are not allowed. I get the point tho. Someone could do a lot if harm with the ability to just pop up a mini raid base before the combat timer starts. But also maybe this is ok gameplay and people are stressed because of it being difrent from before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
