Crafting/ Items/ Customisation
- Will you be able to make minor changes to character to differentiate them? Perhaps like changing their hair colour?
“the plan is to make everyone look unique through randomization of hair styles, colors, etc.”

“you will definitely be able to customize your units’ equipment, utility gear that they will carry around (like potions) …We really want it to feel like “your” army.”

“That’s a great idea which we want to support, but it’s a pebble… it’s the kinda thing where if we don’t have it you’d miss it, but you’re not going to be really pissed off, and then when it comes in you get happy. So eventually we will support that, but it’s not high on the list.”

“First of all when you embark you will be able to customize everyone before you start the game. The game will randomly generate all you settlers and if you don’t like them you can change their names, you can change their genders, and you can change the way they look, and then once in game you will be able to craft gear for your military units, like leather armour or particular weapons and maybe you’ll be able to craft some gear for your crafters to make them unique or give them crafting buffs.”

"Crafting is going to all about managing your resources. For example, let’s look at the Carpenter:
Right from the get-go, the Carpenter can craft furniture, wooden swords that let you upgrade people into soldiers, and wooden irrigation pipes that will up the productivity of your farms. So there’s lots of stuff you COULD craft, but you’re limited by the amount of wood you can chop down and more importantly your Carpenter’s time.
So you have to choose, what’s most important? Shelter, army, or food? The answer will depend on what’s going on in your game at the moment and what your long term goals are.
And we will have interdependence between the crafters. The blacksmith will need help from the mason to craft his forge, etc."

"We haven’t talked about that … I would say no, because that to me is kinda ‘busy work’, it’s something you have to have in your head where you’re thinking “oh, I need to have some spare tools in case one breaks”, it doesn’t seem fun to me personally."

“It’s a good question, but it’s kinda tricky because … you can differentiate between units because of their clothing … if you can just screw around with the colours as much as you want you will lose that. Now it’s not a case of we won’t allow you to do it, it’s just that we don’t want you to be able to shoot yourself in the foot and forget what your units are because you’ve altered the class colours. If we did allow you to do it, you would likely have ito devote some time and resources into it.”

“Sounds cool … we have a couple of ideas where there’s stuff you can’t normally get, and if you’re really dedicated you can get it, so I think the answer is yes.”
