Goblin / Dwarf Massacre!
« on: July 13, 2014, 03:31:32 am »

I spawned into a World just yesterday, and i spawned in a field of Dead People!

I asked Bay12 and they said "Huh....  it's something!  The goblin block looks like a too-large army...  not sure why goblins and dwarves are around it.  Site?"

Plus there was at least 3-4 Necromancers battling just off screen, my FPS was dead!

Any Thoughts of what it could be?

It obviously a merchant burial site. It to honor those who have died in the great merchant war. It was a battle of two guilds who both wanted the town square because it generates great commerce, so they had a agreement to leave the space alone and to prevent war. But then a blacksmith from the other guild claimed the space then war broke out. Plenty of merchants died and the two guilds broke down into squabbling groups of merchants. The area is now a merchant burial ground to honor those who have died.

Man, I hope someday we can take part in battles like that without having to fight the lag as much as the enemy.

Is it just me, or are there a lot of wrestlers in that skirmish?

I don't know how it all works, I just throw molten science at the wall and see what ignites.

That reminds me of a dwarf camp I spawned in once. Was full of mainly wrestlers (who had no discipline and left me at the first sign of combat).
I'm thinking the game makes camps the same way as normal towns, then just sets everyone to be a soldier, meaning they don't have actual combat skills.

So yeah, I guess you spawned in a camp that was currently being attacked. Grats.
