Some of our Concepts

Horse System Synopsis: Embracing the Equestrian Economy

Immerse yourself in the robust equestrian economy of The Hanover Co., a realm where horses aren’t just transportation but also symbolize a vital and vibrant economy. Our carefully designed horse system accentuates the importance of role-playing and strategy, making for a fulfilling gameplay experience.

Horse Stables: Stables in our world are more than mere shelters for horses. They are hubs of diverse services:

  1. Horse Sales: Buy a reliable steed or trade a horse that you’ve trained or bred.
  2. Taming & Training: Take advantage of the stables’ expertise in taming wild horses and enhancing the skills of your horses.
  3. Products & Services: Keep your horse in the prime of health with specialized services and products.

Stables operate on a strategic stock system. Although stables have the ability to import horses at a steeper price, the system encourages taming and stocking horses locally. This approach not only maximizes profit but also enhances the authenticity of the game.

Ranches: Ranches offer a unique perspective within the equestrian economy:

  1. Breeder: As a breeder, you can nurture high-quality horses, serving a critical role in the supply chain. This breed-and-sell option is particularly attractive to stables as it’s considerably more cost-effective than direct sales.

In our world, the equestrian economy may start slow but as the population grows and horses ‘move on’, so too does the potential for profit. This cyclical nature of the career keeps the gameplay engaging and perpetually rewarding.

Get ready to explore the exciting intricacies of the horse system. With strategic thinking and a love for role-play, you’ll find yourself not just surviving but thriving in the equestrian economy!

Housing Synopsis for The Hanover Co Server

Welcome to The Hanover Co Server, where we’ve introduced an exciting, dynamic housing system that allows players to experience real estate in ways that mirror the real world. Our housing system is rooted in three foundational principles: Location, Features, and Need. Here’s a detailed look at the options and mechanics of housing on our server:

1. Houses for Sale:

  • Range: Houses are priced between $4500 and $14500.
  • Factors: Price is determined by the size of the lot, location, and amenities.
  • Special Reservations: A selection of houses that have the appearance and functionality of “ranches” will be reserved and leased specifically to farmers, breeders, and ranchers, fostering an authentic agrarian lifestyle within the game.
  • Availability: Other properties are scattered across various towns and cities, allowing for strategic decisions based on gameplay goals and occupation, with a special emphasis on supporting different roles in the community.

The addition of special reservations for ranch-style houses further enriches the housing options, aligning the availability of certain properties with in-game roles such as farming and ranching. This design decision emphasizes the integration of player roles into the game’s real estate market, reinforcing the server’s commitment to immersion and role-play fidelity.

2. Apartments for Rent:

  • Deposit: A standard deposit of $400 will be required to secure an apartment.
  • Weekly Rate: Depending on the location, apartments can be rented at a weekly rate of 10-17% of the deposit.
  • Accessibility: Renting apartments provide accessible and budget-friendly options, especially for newcomers or those looking to live in urban environments.

3. Land Plots in the Goodlands:

  • Custom Build: Purchase a land plot and hire builders to construct your dream home from scratch.
  • Investment Opportunity: The purchase of land plots represents a substantial investment that can pay off as your character progresses.
  • Community Building: This option encourages collaboration with other players (such as builders) and contributes to the growth and vitality of the server’s economy.

4. The Badlands Colonization:

  • End Game Strategy: The Badlands will be reserved for an exciting end game “land grab” where players can invest dividends in plots for development or speculation.
  • Adventure and Risk: The Badlands offer a thrilling opportunity for investment and exploration, with the potential for significant rewards.

Conclusion:

The Hanover Co’s housing system adds depth, strategy, and realism to the gameplay. It allows for individual expression and contributes to the community’s growth by providing opportunities for collaboration and economic interaction. Whether you’re looking to purchase your first home, invest in the future, or dive into the thrilling world of real estate development, the housing options in The Hanover Co Server are designed to cater to a wide array of needs and playstyles. Get ready to explore, invest, and create your place in our expansive world!

Thank you for being here with us on this journey. As you all have about reached the mid-game i think it is time to discuss the concepts of housing. As you saw in sneak peeks our builder career is fully fleshed out and completed, With that we decided to share our synopsis on how housing works here in the Coalition. IF you have any feedback please make sure to bring it up it is extremely important for us. Again thank you all for your support and we appreciate you being here.
