Re: Crafting Muds
I've played EmpireMud for a week now, and I think i'm beginning to figure things out.
Does anyone have any tips for the structure or layout when you're building your empire?
You have to make the buildings face a certain direction, so I'm specifically wondering if that matters at all in gameplay.
A Few Tips for Anyone Who Wants to Play, Courtesy of Mistakes I Made
I am by no means an expert, but these are things that caused me to have to delete characters and restart the game, so hopefully they'll help someone else avoid the pitfalls.
1. You can't found a city within 25 tiles of one of the towers. So at least the way I understand it, there's not much point to claiming land anywhere close to the towers until you've found a place for your city.
2. Try to find a place for your empire that has lots of different terrain i.e. rivers, forests, mountains, etc.
3. You can only build on fields an d deserts, and if you find yourself in the midst of a forest, all you need to do in order to create a field is chop down all the trees in a forest room.
4. Don't go into the mountains to mine ore early on, unless you see a path. If you go there without the mountain climbing skill, you'll be stranded without a way back down.
5. Once you craft an axe, you can keep chipping away at it until it becomes a spearhead. You can attach this to a handle that you've crafted, to get a spear, and then you can fish.
This is a great Mud for crafting, especially if your style is to figure things out on your own without a lot of specific instruction.
