Previously you mentioned that players will be crafting equipment. If it is true, where (i.e. in cities, villages, or just anywhere on the map) can we craft it and how, i.e. what are the crafting mechanics? What kind of resources do we need to craft things, and where do you get them from? Thank you for your hard work.
This might change a bit, but:
there will be about a dozen raw materials.
Every village has 3 materials it can produce.
the owner can shift the production balance.
the amount of resources produced is defined by the workers in the village.
the workers are other players who get a gold wage, defined and given out by the village owner.
the real item production will then happen in towns.
a town can produce up to 5 goods at the same time.
the village owner can set a smith.
the smith's skill defines of what quality (=heirloom) the produced item is.
the amount of workers in the town (=players) define how many items will be produced.
there will be other (individual) ways of creating weapons, but that will be very slow and not feasable to equip an army with it.
