well you'll be pleased to know that we will enable a custom TnT to be used in contested zones to blow up opposing factions forts. The reason we're making our own TnT is so that people cant just hack the real TnT in contested zones and nuke them sky high haha.
Now you will be able to occupy an opposing factions capital, just note it'll be rather hard due to their spawn being there in the capital while yours will have to be set to your factions nearest base camp. Fire will be able to build above ground, anywhere they can direct the lava from their super volcano they can build. It'll be easiest to build below ground just because of the mechanics behind how lava and water path in the game. but above ground housing will be equally easy since the volcanos top will be near the sky wall.
on tnt nice my thoughts make 2 kinds
1 you through and explodes after a few seconds
more or less like normal tnt with some modifications -make it not destroy miniblocks and make it so a few of these(3 mabey) can go through a block of obsidian so forts wonk be invincible at later stages and make this one harder to make(more gunpowder? something harder to get than sand? diff det system?
on fire faction the only problem with the lava is that in the current system the outer blocks of a pool is all that maters and it can only travel 7 blocks so fire is very limited in size unless the can make some sort of reservoirs like nature can

Reason for wanting to join our server: Because it seems pretty cool, and I have been searching for a good multi-player server, as single-player is beginning to get a little lonely...
Also, a bonus of being on a rather small server is that you get to be part of a tight, close-nit community.

actually the intent is that they would begin to excavate the land around the volcano so the lava can travel further away from its source. this way the volcano will seem to grow larger over time.
Another note is that its intended for fire to have a finite reach from their home land. However winning in our "instanced" battle areas for them equals a new young volcano. they will never be able to be as large as their homeland volcano but it will allow them to further their expansion across the world.
At the moment our only worry for groups being able to easily expand is water as they do not get to use water blocks. they have to expand through digging out land at the moment. I've been hashing this over alot lately and I'll probably be giving them a similar system to fire where a lake will spawn where they can create a new aqua dome to branch from. Seems rather silly though so that's why i haven't made it a feature yet.
I will also admit that as far as bonuses go for each faction winning instanced PvP encounters is a little imbalanced Fire getting the most use out of it and Air being able to create a dessert in the area to build a base on the ground Earth Nature and Water get no real perks from winning at the moment other than preventing the others from spreading and gaining a point towards being able to take control of the central land mass where they will construct their end game building.

A forums post should be like a mini-skirt. Long enough to cover the Subject. Yet short enough to keep things interesting!

Do you have any pictures of prior ingame projects you've worked on?
Also which of our factions would you be most interested in working on?
as stated we are in a beta setting at the moment which means we are just creating random doo dads for the live server. so what you make will be stored if it fits with our themes and it will be added in the public server come time for the game to be launched.

ok and the thing is if fire couldnt it would becoume i giant slant downwards trying to get the lava as far as possible
and is the server back up yet i want to play

Unfortunately it wont be up till our servers owner wakes up! =( the beta server is being run off his home PC at the moment while we wait for our permanent server.
and again we want that giant slant downwards. Imagine if you will you walk up to a cliff face and look down to see stone (think of it as scorched earth) and then you look further in the distance and see a volcano with lava spewing in every direction and all the fire faction between you and that volcano.

I like how Notch cares about peoples religions... then again, I guessed if he called the Hell-ish place 'America' it wouldn't do much justice either...
While waiting forever for the server to get up, Im going to make a new world in single player and try to recreate the water dome and pretend Im playing it :biggrin.gif:
Ill try to build with the materials you allow, and I will try to make some pretty cool things : )

*sigh*, one can dream : (
thats actually pretty accurate as to what we'll be doing. And trust me no one is more frustrated with the server going down at such a poor time than myself! I want to get all of you in there so that we can start to make a world together!

the only possible problem i could of seen without mini volcanoes would only being able to j]be able to 127 blocks away from spawn but with the minis you can get father
and if you know the guy you should call him and wake him up :wink.gif:

actually the volcano is at skywall which is 80 blocks above water level that means if you carry it properly you can get it 240 blocks away from the volcano before you have to dig into the ground.
and i would call but unfortunately i only know him from online so i only have his MSN
NOTE OUR SERVER OWNER JUST GOT ON MSN! Hopefully be back up and running in a few minutes!
