About the size of the castle is limited.

[泠泠子养小黑猫]

I am very confused about the fact that the maximum territory size of a castle is limited. When I created the archive, I set the size of each level of castle to 600 squares. However, when the Heart of the First Level Castle was established, the game set the size of my castle to two floors, totaling 112 squares. I'm puzzled, why do you have to regulate this?

"The intention with this change is to:

Ensure that players always get the room they need to progress and build a castle that can store all their stations and loot.
Block players from intentionally griefing other players by surrounding them with floors/walls.
Avoid scenarios where multiple players unintentionally build in the same area effectively blocking each other from progressing later in the game when everyone needs more space.
Improve PvP scenarios where players could build multiple lines of defenses in a single area and could build an army of servants making it almost impossible to raid.
Better communicate the land availability of a server to players before they join. It will be easier to avoid servers that have too little space to build.
Improve the Map UI to better display what areas are claimed and what areas are free as well as what players/clans are occupying a given space.

Territories also pave the way for a number of possible expansions/improvements for the future. This addition is a stepping stone towards something more."

Yeah, the patch really borked the Castle Building Mechanic. It was much more open and usable in the last version.

Ahh, so sounds like I need to wait for a mod or a mod to update that will bypass this dumb change. It really should have been made a server setting or something, especially with a large population of the game not participating in pvp at all and just wanting to build a cool castle.

I dislike the territory system as well, I just want to build a cool castle but you are severely limited now, you cant combine territories or build on the ground in front of your castle, the developers should add an option to disable the territory system. I understand the reason to do it to prevent griefing. but I think the old system was better

The griefing wasn't exclusive to pvp. It was a multiplayer problem.

I dont tend to play on servers, I play with my partner and we build together. We want the ability to create bigger castles. Sounds like a unmoderated server problem mainly. If the moderators can remove buildings easily its a non issue and multiple offenses can lead to the player being banned from the server.

Don't get people like you complaining that castle building is limited now with the new update, its not, i'm a builder and a gardener and I can still make a huge castle and a garden. I actually have more space than I ever did with the old game,So all yalls issue is a non issue actually. At this point I think yall are just complaining just to complain.

I was stumped aswell after the Patch hit and i played for a few Hours, until i hit the Farmlands.

It's completely right, the new System allows grander Castles then before.
The Tile Limit was 250 (right or? ) and we needed to combine multple Castles into "one" big one.
Thats not needed anymore, but whats needed is the right Castle Spot.

I don't think the Woods, have a Spot for a Big Castle, "just" Tower spots. 100 Groundfloor Tiles, maybe 150?
In the Farmlands i found a Spot which had 250 Groundfloor Tiles, which made me really happy.
But in Silverlight Hills ive found the Gold.

A Spot with nearly 300 Groundfloor Tiles.
If you want to build Grand, you need to use the new Floor Mechanic. With this you can literally Combine a higher Elevation with a lower one.
It is now possible to build Floors over Cliffs. this means you can make a huge Flat Ground Floor and start Building (without a Garden is this Case)

On the Silverlight Spot, i have a Huge Garden and 3 Seperate Buildings (some 3 Floors high) which Combine in a Huge Castle and used 500/600 Tiles for this
You can have a Huge Throne Room, a Library/Alchemy Tower and all other things.

As i said i was really pessimistic about the Territorys aswell in the Beginning, but its all about the Spot and understanding how Floors work^^

Untop of what i said:
We, myself included the Solo Builders are complaining.
We're alone in our World, with our Settings, we can use the 5 Castle Limit to our Adventage?
One Spot solely for a Library Tower, it doesnt need to be a big Spot. A Gateway, a Small Garden and Stairs which reach the Heaven (6 Floors) and we have a Space to press our Papers and do our Research.
One Big Factory Castle, with all Crafting Stations, a big Storage Room and again a Gateway (which can not be placed indoors)
A Prison Tower
One Huge Garden with an Alchemy Lab for all our Potion needs.
And Finally our Big Homey Castle, with our Throne and Servant Quarters.

Before we were limited to 1250 Tiles in our whole Realm, we can now use 3000 Tiles...
I think with this, we've got Value out of the Patch.
We just need to adapt ^^(i needed nearly 30 Hours before i befriended myself with the new System)

How do you enable 6 floors?
I haven't found that in the server options

[kongkim]

Must say i like how it is now. No more Blocking and with the multi floors you can still build big :)

[Yig]

I'm a big fan of the new system as a default. An option to turn it off for private servers would be a good thing though.

I seem to be a miss on this, I can't seem to build over cliffs, and where I've build right now, I can't even build a balcony over the stairs that's going down the cliff side. because that one spare is not part of my territory. Which bothers me since I have to mess around trying to build a whole giant balcony round the back just to have it come to the front. A bit disappointing you can't build over that spot to connect the balcony.

For me, it made it better. Yeah less space "outward" but more space "upward". I have a 2 story castle now and lots of room for new features later. I guess it's how you look at it. I think it's a fair trade and still allows building freedom more or less.

Server option for number of floors allowed was added in yesterdays patch. You will need to start over to change it,.
