Bogtown Detached

[Real-MAGNUM]

About The Pull Request

Detaches bogtown from the main town, and compresses its overall size down quite a lot without removing the previous buildings. Made a rough path from town to bogtown so people have some sort of guidance/trade route to follow. There are no stockpiles or shylocks in bogtown, all technology is within the actual town. Scoms still exist within bogtown. This is to promote travel via saiga/handcart to sell goods, and potential highwayman gameplay/pvp. New mines inside of bogtown have high tier spots right away, but will get patchy fairly quickly. Lava caves are still the best high frequency area. Main town's mine was nerfed pretty heavily to only green tier. Town guard should probably be defending the town gate now, as well as patrolling with saigas (they have a few round start, but only bogtown can breed more round start since town has no female saiga) Bog guard have a few saiga.

Manor walls refurbished again. King's court slightly altered. Added a bunch of tiny cave paths. Fixed the excidium's outdated offset.

Why It's Good For The Game

Bogtown has no danger, town guard are redundant with the existence of bogguard to the point noone plays them. After a town remap, they'll be patrolling the town and watching the town gate but without such an obnoxiously large area to try to cover. I know it's hard for town guard to watch the entire town, but major reworks of the map like that requires a lot of time, which will be chipped away at asap.

Bogtown is now a solid place to gain resources, but they need to be ferried through the bog. It's more likely to allow outcasts from the town due to range, and is more of an exile when the king orders you to serve the bog.

Also, bogguard have just been wandering the city. I know it's not really a mapping issue, but it's telling when bogguard are trying to enforce the town that it's getting redundant.

Experimental, do not merge. Testmerges will only happen for a few rounds at a time, probably.

Tested the changes, ready for testmerge tomorrow.

Did you read the code? There's a new latejoin marker that's in the bog barracks.

This is seriously one of the best maps for SS13, ever. Excellent work - I genuinely am so happy to see this continue to grow better and better from where I first saw it in April.

By editing the King's Court, do you mean that you gave the 2nd Prince a chair to sit in? If not, don't. Don't ever give them a chair it is so funny having to get out a folding chair as the 2nd heir LOL.

Amazing stuff.

Thanks!

The only edits to the king's court were the tile patterns on the floor, and moving the pillars one block out while moving the statues to the old pillar's location, if that makes sense. It's for a more open visual channel for people waiting in line.

At last, I can finally establish a fortress right on top of the gateway to the town between bog and town, and have us dwarves be proper gatekeepers within the bog pass.

Really good looking. Would you consider culling the raw resources behind the town gate? There's really no reason to set up in bog town or go out of town if everything is obtainable in the 'safe' area. Make it a wasteland where everything has already been stripped feeding the town. No grasses, no bushes, no trees. If you want stuff, go outside to touch grass.

can you do another test merge at some point? Or just merge. current bog is becoming stale.

I'll map in empty stripped out mines and stuff to represent it. Was already kinda planning on it. I dont want to alter tree generation due to how much empty space the town has at the moment, but once there's a remap it'll be reflected that way.

Should be done with changes today.
