Settlements

Settlements are areas of habitation created by players. The can take many forms, among others ports, villages, towns, cities, ghettos, etc. A settlement is different from a base in that it is a center of commerce, culture and expansion. Typically, a settlement will encompass a number of buildings and a system of streets. The average settlement needn't necessarily house more than one player.

Town Status

The title of "town" is reserved for settlements with a certain level of prestige. To be upgraded to official town status, it is necessary to the meet the following requirements:

• The applicant settlement must be listed on the official settlements thread on the PirateCraft forums.
• It must possess one Town Hall.
• There must be walkways/roads/paths connecting all builds.
• There must be one beacon present.
• A town must have shops selling at least 50 stocked wares OR it must have an arena.
• Building architecture should follow similar themes and each building should feature characteristics of that building, i.e a church wouldn’t just be a square box with a sign on the front saying “Church”.
• Buildings cannot be hollow shells. Houses need to have furnished rooms.
• Five more buildings of different types are required. Some ideas:
  • Blacksmith
  • Farm(s)
  • Central square
  • Arena
  • Stables
  • Tavern
  • Prison
  • Church/Temple
  • Port (if coastal)
  • Lighthouse (if coastal)
  • Train station with railway leading to a landmark
  • Storage
  • Public mine
  • Trade market(s)
  • Rental properties (sub claimed real estate)
  • Bank
  • Defensive structures and infrastructure such as walls/moats/bridges/etc.

A town can also have a Map Marker placed, but this must be done by a Contributor.
