OF: Capitol Buildings

Nalar · 2003-12-15, 04:11 PM

If you havent seen this already, smoke dropped a bomb on the forums with hints at introducing Capitol buildings to each continent with the new dynamic link latices.

These work with Dyanmic Global Lattices. The concept is simple: Each continent has a particular facility that is the Capitol. Capture that building, and you have "Domininion" over that continent. (Dominion gives the benefits of a Lock.)

How hard is it to take a Capitol? Hard. You have to take 3 out of 4 other "sub-capitol" buildings in order to drop a powerful force dome around the Capitol, allowing you to attack the Capitol. Until then, it's completely invulnerable.

Now...get Empire bonuses depending on the number of continents your Empire is currently Dominating (those continents you own the Capitol) on...and allow drop podding on any continent, regardless of which Empire has "Dominion".

for full details, you can check out smokes reply: http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/p.../000004-4.html

i personally think this will make battles over continents a lot funner. I cant wait.

Will PlanetSide finally have a feel of accomplishment? Find out next week when Smoke ravages the conceptional minds of forum goers with another tasty sample of "In"

Nice find, and very interesting ideas.

Capitols on continents! I LOVE IT!

I read all those ideas and they are the BEST EVER!!! PlanetSide is about to become the greatest game of all time, but it's already my favorite game ever.

Wow this is going to be great a suggestion for a capital just make one berlin with the reichtag

Capitols?
Dammit, I hope the CR5s don't start demanding we call them "Governor" or "President"

Shit. I'd assasinate their asses.

Awsome! Riechtag means something like kingdom day, i don't follow.

They better be bringing in new buildings and not just redefining a techplant or something else as the capital with some new shield equipment. Hopefully they will be bigger than any building in even the hart.

He basically said that at first it would be just a regular building, but over time they would develope a whole new structure exclusively for the capitol.

I'm very impressed with what the dev team has been doing lately. For a long time there I'm sure everyone felt pretty much forgotten by SOE, but with all the recent changes it is hard to ignore the fact that Planetside is quickly becoming the game it was meant to be :}

What pengy said. This new concept has come as a really pleasant surprise today. I really wasn't expecting any more new content/changes this soon, but I was wrong. I'm really excited, and impressed. This game rocks!
