the only logial thing is to build the bank if not building the shop was usless unless u wanted a place to fill up on fodder

I'm a market-banker, so the bank doesn't do squat for me.

I've been putting all my stones into Casino ever since the casino square was cleared, so naturally I'm going to continue doing so.  Traveling to Larkinor and back just to increase a stealing rank is murder.

You've built in 90 building stones.
315900 experience points earned!
You need 1 335 536 more experience points for the next level!
You've got 91 construction points now.
To finish the building 93456 stones have yet to be built in.

i agree with sandy here....

-AA

well here is something apparently you guys dont know. There are 2 casinos on the island and only 1 bank. At the rate of lost nubs we have one building probably wont be completed.

I hereby promise not to advocate the building of the second casino before the only bank!

Sandy

as a market-banker myself, i also see no need for the bank.  so i shall build the casino for thieves as well.  but if there is only the one bank, i will definitely make it a priority before building the second of any one type of building, for those who do use the banks.

I am with Jason and Sandy (Market banking). Also, there is the assumption that the rate of lost nubs is a constant. I think that maybe since people are now aware of the issue, lost nub rate may decrease.

My 2 cents

may is the key word better save then sorry because if we end up being short then guess what touhg luck

Agreed - so we should focus on critical buildings only.

-B

but who am i sto say. i have already said not to build mage tower and i guess i was wrong. People said to clear south of cc because of temple guess what temple is not there. some ppl were saying that in casino u can make pirates (they were supossedly told by ppl in the know). my track record isnt that good.

The problem is - there are only a FEW people in the know. I don't know if it's 'against the rules' or not to share information, but I think it gives those 'in the know' an advantage, and the rest of us simply guessing. I simply want the Casino to devlop thieves on TA. Had no idea about the whole Pirate thing. Would be cool though

Arrrgggh!  :)

-Blackbeard B

you cant make pirates beav and as far as contant nubs being lost this was posted by v in jan 11th

 I did a little number crunching earlier....


Total Nubs Collected:     676,873
Total nubs used Building: 596,045

Nubs that are MIA:        80,828

so in about 5 weeks we lost or mia 30+ nubs

Probably in V's mansion. I know that I have a couple stashed as well ;)  Shhhhhh!

-BlackMarket B

never said they were all most beav but i bet alot of them are

You're probably right, bud. 'Tis better to err on the side of caution and assume that they are gone.

Is there no contingency plan in the event tha we run outta nubs? Maybe a lost ship of TA nasties can magically appear on one square until we have enough?  :)

-Optimist B

unfortunately i dont think so i think when they are gone they are gone. Iam only assumeing this though since i have never ran into this problem. My main goal for ta right now is to go 2 more north of casino 1 west to get tot he communion table.

My plan as well, although I have no idea why - and noone is sharing  :_|

- Curious B

i explained what it does and why in chat i wont on the forum but if you want to know come to chat.

I'm not going against you, Mont.  I know as well as anyone that you are a very helpful resource from your HU experience!

Building ALL of these buildings seems important from someone's perspective, and I don't think there is any doubt that this entire city will be built completely.  The northern city is the one that's going to suffer.

I just want the casino sooner than later.

FYI, I built in 116 huge stones today!

Sandy

i see the northern city being usless for a very long time this is just my opinion we build everything in the south and the altar and table do the pubs so far up and wait and watch what happens with the north.

there is one building i will refuse to build in the south though that is the item shop 1 north of marketplace.

ps sandy id be very tempted if you had an edit picture and details on the ta map ;)

Hey Mont, what exactly does the Communion Table do anyway?




-Isaac-

*bump*

ok, pub is done... some people (myself included) are wondering if anyone cares what we build next.

north fortress - pointless (compared to one in cc)

arena - pointless

palace - pointless, unless you want to buy a larki house, or check lvl-stats in there

cc fortress - allows people to build armour and non-magic weapons on t.a. if items are on t.a. market, and for ease of storing on t.a.

weapon shop - allows people to buy weapons and armour (they are low lvl similar to shops on larki, as i've heard from those in the know), and allows for the sale of useless weapons people forgot to sell on larki before travelling to t.a.

you'll notice i'm leaning towards weapon shop or cc fortress... if you have a preference, post here.  if it doesn't matter to you, just build whatever (preferably what others seem to prefer).

--jason

I, and I hope others, will be building the cc fortress for weapon making and skill development. However, I will be checking this thread to see if there is another agreement. I think we really need to be working together.

Gim

It all needs building, doesnt matter really what order.


of course im not a builder so it doesnt matter anyway.
