Title: More Land: A Highlander Base! (?) Opinions Please
Post by: Arma Renox on January 31, 2006, 10:59:31 am
Okey doke, the old THB house is now under my possession. It's the 14x14 empty plot closest to the orc fort and closest to the mountain!
For this reason I'm thinking it would make a good Highlander base, then perhaps the old Highlander base could go to some one else? I dunno, that's not my decision :)

Just after some input, what would anybody, but especialy the higlanders, like to see for their base?

I concur with Geit, the highlanders should get it...

I will give some cash to that project too...

Har!

Sounds like a fine spot fer the Highlanders indeed!

A base close to the mountain god himself. *cackles*


p.s. OMG the house where you can train lockpicking!!! Gah! It was boring to train anyway!!  ;D

All you people annoyed at the lack of lockpicking training, have no fear! A rune will be locked down shortly to the NEW THB lockpicking house.

So there :P

* Large Amoury (with smithy)
* Maybe a secret underground tunnel which leads deep under the mountain (see the entrances at Smedlys Duck thingy tavern and one of the Undead crypts)
* Hilghander council hall with bear rugs and a large heavy stone table with lots of chairs around
* Statue of Lithos with plack, sourrounded by rocks.

That is the best idea. Ever.

Seems a bit odd to me as it couldn't actualy lead anywhere...

Well done on getting the plot, Geit!
Once again Cove thanks ye for ye heavy contributions to the Guild Effort!

I like the idea of the underground cave. Shame we can't make a proper one! But aye! Definitely check out Smedley's little underground railway thing.

well in theory it can, get a mage to cast a moongate in the darkness - could lead where ever you want.

Used to do it with UD. Moongate to the orcmines, pretend they where mines benith the crypt

Well it's finished, I put in some basic Deco to show what each section is. I guess it's up to whoever takes it now to finish the job.

Hope my design is satisfactory!

Title: Re: More Land: A Highlander Base! (?) Opinions Please
Post by: Delcarakdur on February 01, 2006, 12:35:01 am
Same here, I can donate as much as 200k gold in addition to maybe keeping the place...


Title: Re: More Land: A Highlander Base! (?) Opinions Please
Post by: Gregor Eason on February 01, 2006, 01:13:04 am

Post by: Arma Renox on February 01, 2006, 09:41:40 am
1800k? Where did those maths skills come from??

Can't wait to see it.

I think I have some stuff lying about which i will gladly donate - skull candles, stone furniture, books etc.

I' also willing to donate some gold to the project (a Highlanders pay isn't much but i'll match Delc's 200k)

When i've sorted it out who do i give it to?


Title: Re: More Land: A Highlander Base! (?) Opinions Please
Post by: Arma Renox on February 01, 2006, 11:20:08 am
I believe Delc will be holding the house, deco can be given to him I guess!

As for gold, you're not required to give anything if it would put you out, but any donations would be welcome to me, as I'm the one who paid for the Highlander base and the Stronghold.
It's nice to see people are genuinely willing to offer support without being asked :)

Krap, you're right.

A million is a thousand thousand. And it was nineteen million?! Nineteen thousand k!? Argh...

The one that sold that made the best deal ever.


Title: Re: More Land: A Highlander Base! (?) Opinions Please
Post by: Arma Renox on February 01, 2006, 01:53:13 pm
At the end of the day, for the Stronghold and the Highlander Base, I paid just above what some one else was willing to pay for it. That's what it took to make sure it went to us as BoC, not some one else.


Title: Re: More Land: A Highlander Base! (?) Opinions Please
Post by: Delcarakdur on February 01, 2006, 02:09:15 pm
Excellent work though, I will donate the 200k to Geit anyway, for his generosity, that will leave me with 100k in the bank... ;)

I'm not bloody Hemi. *tsk*


Title: Re: More Land: A Highlander Base! (?) Opinions Please
Post by: Bayne on February 01, 2006, 07:24:18 pm
Haha Hemi could buy every house in sosaria and then some without scathing his billions too much. I suspect Geit had some luck in doom or such before joining BoC.


Title: Re: More Land: A Highlander Base! (?) Opinions Please
Post by: Arma Renox on February 01, 2006, 07:42:27 pm
I still like to do hunts and peerless with my 10 non-BoC chars.
But no, in fact I simply bought the gold with RL £££, I decided such an oppertunity for BoC was too good to pass up, these houses might not become available again.

Though I am not a highlander, and won“t probably ever be, but I will check my tamers bank account... 100k I will get this week I am sure, so I will hand it over :c)

Btw: if you say Highlander Base I always think of Duncan McLouds castle in the first Highlander movie... THAT“s how the Highlander base should be!!
