The very first version of Avonmora has been released. Since this is a big feature, with many invisible elements, it moves our game version to 1.5
The new feature will provide news about the players activity.
Soon, the following will happen:
-One volume release daily, probably after the nations daily update.
-Certain news will be published live (ie, forthcoming war declarations)
-News stories will be both generated by our engine and written by players (or game admins - currently myself).
-An improved version of article submission will be soon available, till then, we will use the in-game contact form.
-Futurely, a few selected players will be able to become journalists and manage the newspaper (what gets to be included and such).
-Newspaper size will grow with time.
What we currently need to finish this feature faster:
-Stories that describe game statistics. An example:
- Code: Select all
Today, 25 ships joined sea bottom. We need a story for this single data.
Send your stories with the Contact form. The more you send, (even for the same statistic) the better.
-Ideas for which statistics to include.
Here are some ideas we already have:
-Banking News (general stats, specific issues (ie a bank closing), bank openings, bank special offers)
-Trade News (gold bar stocks/sales, same with resources, total resource sold, etc)
-Player News (the ones you already know, plus more, such as ship counts, other player stats)
-Nation news (ie, when a nation, especially a big one, gets a new King, it sounds like a good story)
-Piracy News (we will track down piracy activity and create stories based on this tracking)
-Gossip worth posting (see volume 2 tomorrow as an example)
For now, the new volume will not be created at daily update but later tomorrow as we are still tuning this thing up. We will let you know once complete automatic creation begins.
