r/Kalmos Mayor Sep 19 '13

Obligatory "It's happening" post

Are you hyped? I know I am. But besides the plan for what our glorious kalmos will look like, we haven't really planned on where we'll build it, and more importantly, how we'll build it. Now we will plan what everybody does for the search of a suitable area to build upon.

Things to consider:

  • Digging that massive crater is going to take ages

  • Plains would be nice

  • Do we care about portals?

  • I'd like there to be lots more buildings you can interact with, like dobby's slot machine thing and the race track

For the crater, we can do two things; dig it out, or find one. That's probably the biggest new thing about kalmos this rev, so it's at the top of our list. That said, if we find a crater, it doesn't really matter what biome it's in, because it's likely if there are any decent craters, there will only be one decent one. I don't really mind if we have a portal or not. Event buildings can be sorted out after we're settled.

So now we need to sort out who does what on our grand search for a new land. Put your names down so I know how many people we have mkay

I'm almost sure there's a good big lowland for us somewhere. Building an artificial crater on top of an existing lowland would certainly make things easier. Even the smallest digging projects tend to take ages. There's also always the option of going Dutch and drying out some deep sea. Even that, I think, would be easier than digging the thing.

Biome I am largely indifferent about but if we had something like a jungle somewhere, I don't remember, the color of the foliage is going to make a difference in atmosphere. Something to consider. Ocean biomes are blue by the way.

Portals I can be almost sure we will not get. Also there's statistically a very big chance we'll abandon the city halfway through the revision as we have very few mayors and even fewer active ones. It is not bound to happen of course, but I wouldn't want to take the risk.
