BuildingSuggestions: Midor Academy
Posted: 09 Aug 2003 04:23 PM |
We'll be filling in a Midor Academy soon. Specifically, it'll be on an island off the south-coast of Midor, accessible by a quick ferry. It would be primarily for the training of the future Clergy, Guards (fighters), Scouts (rogues), and Knights (paladins). What do you think should be in there? Make yourself heard... soon! |

Well all that training sounds like hard and thirsty work! So I suggest a nice bar to relax in...... with soft drinks such as apple juice for the religious non-drinkers of Midoran!
:D
Cheers!

A nice big round table kinda place would be cool, for all the meetings that must occur in the running of midor and the temple.
Some barrack rooms of course, training scholls for fighting and perhaps a study/medical area for the clerics to practice.
Also a libray devoted to the teachings of midoran would be nice.
Lecture halls?
I'll think of some more
Cheers!

I have to say, I like the sound of the idea.
It would be very cool to see some sort of 'initiation' training to enter and become one of the Academy's trainees. This could vary from the 'kiss the holy book of Midoran' to check the potential's alignment (avoiding anyone spying within the place), to then going on to test their skills to see how they can best aid Midoran.
I'd be interested to see how the scouting training is I mean, even Midoran is going to need someone who can pick locks once in a whileI think it should test areas like the characters perception, ability to notice things and similar stuff. |

Some neat things I think that would fit in well are a sparring room (Fancy looking too :-P), and perhaps a small training ground/obstacle course of some type (Fairly easy for PC's, perhaps a quest even or a prize for whoever can get through). Sucha thing would work well with the outside maze placeables we have in the tileset, or a cave, or a dungeon/cellar.

aye... An arena can be great.. but of course you -can- die there :)
so maybe putting weapon racks with 'training swords/staves/clubs' that will do 1 dmg with each hit.. or just... wont do any dmg..
maybe a training hall with some nice combat dummies.. maybe they can give a bit (combat) xp like when cutting wood, altough i am not sure about it..
dining room can be great, and maybe that place can be the headquarters of Midoran's knights..
So there will be a small temple, and errm.. I duno =P

As an aside, is this dual-purpose as headquarters of something else? (from what Arathon seem to be suggesting). I personally like the prospect of it also being headquarters of something else (Clergy and/or Order of Light) simply because the current Midor Church is abit too crowded already (until we wishes to expand upon it).
And are they meant to be for new PCs, returning PCs, or both?
What events could be going on there? What NPC could be involved? What special, unique placeables are to be found?

| What about an arcane tower for Mages in training? With perhaps a good scroll shop. |

Hmm, I don't think mages are much appreciated in Midor on its own
Ara is having the rural wizard towers etc. set up, I think. |

As re: Mage Towers......
Ladriel will be "open for business" soonish........ they are likely to be only for good aligned spellchuckers though, and they might require a task of you, or for you to prove yourself to them first before becoming part of their order.
Inside is a library and I will be adding in merchants and other goodness only accessible by those members of the order.
As a note I am also planning on doing similar for other orders of differing alignments..... one being a VERY small island (only one area) off the coast of the main continent. Again most likely being a Tower of sorts.
I'll update you as soon as they are done.
Cheers!

| As an aside... if anyone feel like building a base for the Academy (just laying out the place and fill it up with some placeables), feel free to contact me! |

| Hmm, the point is to let the folks who'd like to build something, build something! This is a toolset-newbie-friendly task, requires almost no knowledge of the toolset. |

Righty then.....
I'm gonna be making this! *sticks his tongue out*
NOTES TO SELF (and others) a tiny island accessible by boat....... at the centre of the complex will be a tranquil courtyard with fountains and seating etc..... surrounded by ornate pillars.
Running off from this will be multuous doors with a semi-open corridor running around the courtyard......
living quarters....
several chapels..... (private one for the head honcho etc)
Apprentice (and other) quarters
Equipment rooms with smithy etc
(Side note: cool idea for an interactive placeable..... a flushable toilet in an outhouse)
Lecture and research rooms for teachings etc....
A Good sized library
mess halls and communal rooms?
I'll think of more... give me your input.....
oh! and a viewpoint overlooking the complex and surrounding island which one can climb up some stairs to.

I'll would like to help build something in the future... but right now the timing is bad. I'll be going out of town for three weeks starting on Monday... so I don't want to promise anything right now. I do have experience building and scripting.
Perhaps if I can get my laptop to run NWN... which it doesn't right now then I could help. Otherwise.. I'll just be in the chat room after Monday until I return.

Great stuff Jade!
If you think of anything you would like to work on then let me or the others know..... (shame we don't have an emerald tower placeable eh? :P)
Anyways..... as we have a shedload of custom placeables in our mod and with the haks then you'll be better off importing the haks etc into the module to work on any areas etc......
If you can get the laptop up and running with NWN then let us know in irc and we'll talk!
Cheers
