    We need to decide as a community the requirements to claim to be a town, these need to be measurable, Population count for example would be impossible to track with people living all over the place and changing continually.

    This is the rough list so far

    Required

    • Town Hall
    • Walkways/Roads/Paths
    • Beacon
    • 3+ Current Lived in houses
    • Farm(s)

    At least 3 Required

    • Blacksmith
    • Arena
    • Stables
    • Shop
    • Church / Temple / Alt (For enhancements?)
    • Port if (coastal)
    • lighthouse (coastal)
    • Storage
    • Public Mine
    • Trade Market(s)
    • Rental properties (Sub claimed real estate)
    • Bank (Not sure how this would work) Maybe a Vault?

    Reward

    • Icon placed on the live map

    All towns will use the same icon, we need to choose one.

    Available icons

    if your town can be seen from sea, i think a lighthouse would be cool.

    shops and arenas should be considered when people build towns, things that make them visited

    trade markets

    rental properties

    banks

    farms are a must for any town imo, A town should be self sufficiant, so it should have everything you need to survive without leaving it.

    as for the icon pirate flag has to be the one

    Yup, Agree on most all of those points and updated the main post with amendments.

    Can’t be the pirate flag, thats for spawn only, Also can’t be the Skull icon, using that for arenas, the scales are also taken for the server shops at the cove.

    We have the ability to add icons, it would have to fit in with this style of icon artwork though.

    I’d say one of those houses for non-coastal towns and an anchor for towns that have a harbour. Or just the pin or a blue flag for coastal and another for non-coastal.

    Port Royal has:

    Paths
    Blacksmith
    Market
    Townhall (being built)
    Port
    Stables (one built, the other half built)
    Massive fort
    Rental Properties
    At least 3 lived in properties (Me, adzy, tim occasionally, Kitty Paris, but no longer phant)
    Farms
    No beacon…yet!

    And for the icons, the coloured flags, so each town has a coloured flag in-game, lets say red wool, and then the livemap has a red flag too. As Port Royal has a blue flag and blue ship on the way, can it have a blue flag icon?

    Idea for town requirements (for the “needs 3 of these” section):

    Towers
    Walls
    Shipyard (if costal)
    Fort/Base
    Tavern/Pub/Inn
    Restaurant/Food store
    Library

    Hopefully these helped!

    This isnt a thread to apply for a Town, This is discussion for requirements!

    Yes, the flag icons was my initial idea, so each town could have its own colour, but then we are limited to 7 towns. Hence moving to one icon, we could use the colors to represent alliances between towns? But I don’t want to get stuck having to update these manually all the time.

    Sorry for the application!
    Maybe the best was then Tim’s idea, of an anchor. Or just first come, first served.

    Maybe each town has to design their own, or we could create a new one. Maybe each towns marker could be their initials-Pr=Port Royal,Np=New Providence, etc.

    Icon wise we will Just use the castle Icon or start with the coloured flags, I like the flags!

    We need to get a solid set of rules sorted asap really, and a way for people to apply, Im adding a new rule that people need to have a group on the website to organise their town.

    Only 7 possible flags?! Maybe we could create some more flags with different colors. Will there be an official forum for applying, with the rules, etc.
