Suggestion: Mobile Spawn Points

[Goosius1]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• SiegeWar has a feature which prevents spawning into SiegeZones
• Thus a team can't use the likes of TPA to quickly get to the battlefield
• Thus teams often construct "War Base Towns" in wilderness areas near the siegezone, where they can spawn into safely. This is currently an essential meta for SiegeWar.
• However now with TownyProvinces, there is a real problem, because in popular regions of the map, wilderness areas near the banner are in principle and practice, reserved for nearby towns. Thus War Bases cannot be created

Describe the solution you'd like

• Add "mobile spawn points"
• This is a backup option for War Base Towns. Thus, with TP, a nearby safe spawn can often be found by finding allied towns in the area and joining/spawning to them. The only reason a safe spawn wouldn't be available, is if a nation is striking deep into the heart of enemy territory without support, in which case such a nation deserves to have to use a backup option.
• Mobile Spawn points work like this:
  • Each team can only have 1 "commander" at the siege at any one time
  • For attackers, this is a general in the attacking nation
  • For a defending nation town, this is a general in the defending nation
  • For a defending non-nation town, this is the mayor
  • Another participant can spawn to their commander using /sw siege x spawn
  • If another participant dies in the siegezone, they automatically spawn on the commander if the commander is in the siegezone
  • If more than 2 generals from one team are in the siegezone, they both get war sickness
• Despite having the primary role of a backup option, I have no doubt that mobile spawn points will come to be used in many other interesting ways.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• War base mini-towns placed in wilderness, but as discussed here, that doesn't appear to be feasible: https://github.com/TownyAdvanced/TownyCombat/issues/4

• Note: Consider if a team tried to maximize their spawn potential by making everybody a general.......
• This would probably make that team more efficient in battle.
• However the army rank structure would then look very silly.
• Also the respawning would probably look a bit silly in practice too.
• Solution:
  • How about one general per nation in the siegezone?
  • Players spawn to their own general. If their own general is not in the siegezone (or dead), they spawn to an allied general.
  • Any more than one general per nation in the SiegeZone, and they both get war sickness, with an appropriate message.
  • This has the advantage of really highlighting who is officially in charge of a battle

Note: Perhaps make this only work during battle sessions ...... we don't want people exploiting this for fast travel....
