Settlements and the RTS mod

[Mr.Person]

This is the part I am most excited for, I love building up cities, making shops, my own home, a garrison, and deathtraps for any raiders foolish enough to come near my city.

Anyone else here every play the old RTS (Real Time Settler) mod?

I feel like Bethesda took that and improved upon it in every way from what I have seen, and that mod added so much of my gameplay time to New Vegas compared to what it would have been otherwise.

I hope they add this feature to Elder Scrolls 6, like harvesting lumber and ore and such to make actual settlements and not the crappy hearthfire houses.

did anyone else ever play the old RTS mod?

What type of settlement will you build?

I didn't play the RTS but I'm just wanting to make a small house with a farm to give me some food and if they made it so the hardcore option is optional I'll just sell all the food I harvest to be able to make my house bigger.

Thats a great idea i will probably make a large city with a lot of settelers just because i can

[Mr.Person]

I will probably start off with just a small house for myself and my dog, then slowly add more function to it, then start building additions to it to accomodate the NPCs, but I will always build defenses first. dont want to build the whole thing just to have bandits take it.

I kept looking at the mod, but never took the plunge.

All I'm hopeful for settlement-wise, is that we attract unique NPC's, not just 'trader' or 'farmer', but named, interesting characters.

I just hope when I make my house with only one bed that no settlers come that I would have to get to leave or kill to have my privacy.

from what I hear, you have to have specific requirements for NPCs to come to your settlement. They just wont randomly show up

I'll have to find out what those requirements are so I can avoid meeting them till I want to make a town.

Bandit camp. Negative karma first playthrough ftw.

[Imperial Guardsmen]

Large settlement with the outer areas (walls, gates, few buildings) being completly military while the inner areas are civilian and trading.

Is there a limit to how big you can make your settlement?

[Mr.Person]

you can build walls and stuff in this? Did they release an article on village building somewhere, and if so can I get a link?

I remember Todd Howard saying that you'll need to build defenses to repell raider attacks, but nothing about walls. Still it's not that much of a stretch I suppose.

[Mr.Person]

Hope they are more functional than the ones in the RTS mod, I know they showed turrets and stuff which is nice, but I hope the walls arent as bad with clipping and snap together or something when you build them.

I also hope you can hire people to protect your settlement and give them weapons and armor and tell them where to stand and stuff

Here's hoping.
