Vassal node structure.[1]

This vassal mode structure tells you what it looks like for a sovereign at a level six metropolis stage; and what it can control at a maximum vassal network is two level five nodes, of which a level five node can control one level four and one level three as direct vassals; and then the four can control a three; and every three can control a one or a two. Now if the three gets removed through siege, the one or the two is removed as well. So that's an important distinction between the three's vassals, which technically isn't really a vassal relationship because there's no citizenships possible. Those vassals don't exist between three and X, but they do exist between four and three, five and four, and six and five. And what this also allows is that because there are 85 nodes that are within the world, we have a buffer zone of about 20 nodes that lives in a max server state. So if you had maximum five metropolises form in a world, you will have a number about 20 nodes that can live alongside those metropolis networks; and when or if a metropolis falls, that extra cushion of nodes around the five metropolis structures allows for the map to be redistricted in a way that is unique. It doesn't mean that one of the fives is just going to pick up where the last six left off and form the same exact metropolis structure. From a territory perspective it has ancillary nodes to play with and expand towards that redistricts the map, so that if a metropolis falls there's a significant difference in the layout of the world and the layout of these almost nation-like territories.[1] – Steven Sharif

Village (stage 3) or higher nodes enslave nearby nodes, converting them into vassal nodes.[2][3]

There is a layer of intricacy between how the neighboring nodes advance and what potential parent structure they have in the vassalship tree.[5] – Steven Sharif
  • Vassal nodes gain benefits from their sovereign node (parent node) even if the node type of the parent is different to the vassal.[6]
It is not a bad thing to be vasseled, it is a good thing to be vasseled. It brings many benefits from the Sovereign, which is the the ultimate parent of that vassal network down to the vassal node itself; and it allows that vassal node to even live outside of its normal mechanics. You get to adopt some of the benefits that the node type of your sovereign is, even if your node type as a vassal node isn't the same.[6] – Steven Sharif
  • Sovereign nodes collect taxes from their vassal nodes. These taxes cannot be taken by the mayor or other players.[7]
  • Vassal nodes give excess experience to their parent node and may have their own vassals; so long as they fall within the parent node’s zone of influence.[7][2]
    • If a node is capped and is both a vassal and has its own vassals, any experience earned from itself or its Vassals is first applied to its own deficit. Experience beyond that is then sent to its parent node.[9]
When the vassal reaches its cap it overflows experience up to the parent; and so it can be very good early on for parents to get vassal nodes that are very productive- that have a lot of traffic.[7] – Steven Sharif
  • Vassals are subject to the government, alliances, wars, taxes, and trade of their parent node, and are able to receive federal aid from them.[2]
  • Vassal nodes cannot declare war on their parent node or any of their vassals.[2]
  • Citizens of vassals are bound by the diplomatic states of the parent node.[2]
If a Node is a Vassal Node and is capped from advancing further, it first applies any experience earned to its own deficit (see Node Atrophy section), and then applies excess experience earned to its Parent Node. If the Parent Node advances and the Vassal is able to grow, it becomes uncapped. If a Node is capped and is both a Vassal and has its own Vassals, any experience earned from itself or its Vassals is first applied to their own deficit. Any experience beyond that is then sent to its Parent Node.[9] – Margaret Krohn

Angrenzende Nodes (Nachbar-Nodes) blockieren ab Node Stufe 1 (Expedition) das Wachstum ihrer direkten Nachbarn .[8][3]

Entwicklung der Node

Alle Aktivitäten (Aufträge, Sammeln, Schlachtzüge, etc.) welche von Bürgern sowie allen anderen Spielern innerhalb des Einflussbereichs einer Node ausgeführt werden, tragen zum Wachstum (Fortschritt) dieser speziellen Node bei.[9][10]

Durch das Wachstum einer Node werden einerseits deren einzigartigen Inhalte freigeschaltet, andererseits wird der Fortschritt der umliegenden Nodes auf die nächste Stufe blockiert.[11]

  • Nodes steigen schnell auf die erste Stufe auf. Dadurch entstehen die ersten NPC-Dienstleistungen, beispielsweise der Verkauf oder die Aufbewahrung von items.[12]
  • Je fortgeschritttener die Node ist, desto größer ist ihr ZOI.[13]
  • Weniger weit fortgeschrittene Nodes (auch Vasallen-Nodes genannt), welche im Einflussbereich einer höherstufigen Node liegen, können weiterhin Erfahrung sammeln, jedoch müssen sie stets mindestens eine Stufe unter der ihrer übergeordneten Node bleiben.[14]
    • Das Vasallen-System tritt erst ab Node-Stufe 3 (Dorf) in Effekt, jedoch blockieren Nodes bereits ab Node-Stufe 1 (Expedition) das Wachstum ihrer direkten Nachbarn.[8][3]
  • Der Algorithmus zur Gebietserweiterung berücksichtigt nahegelegene Küsten, benachbarte Nodes, und die am häufigsten Besuchten Orte von Spielern innerhalb der letzten Woche, bzw. des letzten Monats.[15]
    • Aufgrund der Art und Weise, wie dieser Algorithmus den neuen Einflussbereich während des Aufstiegs berechnet, kann es vorkommen, dass zwei Nodes mit der gleichen Node-Stufe nah beieinander liegen.[16]

The way that the algorithm expands the territories takes into account a few things: One it takes into account the coast like where's the closest coast. Two it takes into account the neighboring nodes so it can take over and essentially vassal state those nodes, but what's more important is essentially the initial population based on like how players choose their races. Because we have nine different races and four different starting points that branch out, each server's population density is going to dictate essentially the first few nodes that are highly populated and then that initial seed is what's going to determine the node structure as it moves inland into the into the world essentially; and based on the performance and successes of different sieges will determine which nodes that got locked out from the previous the initial advancements what nodes can now be available to advance further. So I really think that with so many variables that are present in the equation of how nodes advance and stay existing with the more variables you have, the higher likelihood there is for there to be a significant diversion in world progression.[15] – Steven Sharif

Normally the algorithm that's applied to the node territorial expansion will prevent significant nodes from being in close proximity to each other... There could be a perfect storm where all of the algorithmic progression of territory leads to having these nodes very close to each other because there's certain requirements that should that need to be available to satisfy node vassal takeovers; and it's possible that two nodes would never take each other over as vassals and end up kind of close together and spanning their territories in kind of opposite directions: The Tale of Two Cities kind of thing.[16] – Steven Sharif

  • Vasallen-Nodes geben überschüssige Erfahrungspunkte erst dann an ihre übergeordnete Node weiter, wenn sie ihre Level-Grenze erreicht haben..[14]
  • Bürger einer Node können zum Fortschritt anderer Nodes beitragen.[17]

Different people have different resources invested in nodes progressing and it would be a little "gamey" if you could know exactly what was necessary at that point because that would disincentivize people from participating.[19] – Steven Sharif

Verschiedene Animationen und visuelle Effekte innerhalb der Grundfläche einer Node leiten den Beginn des ihres Aufstiegs ein.[20][9]

  • Spieler, die sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt innerhalb der Node befinden, werden zu einem sicheren Ort teleportiert (beispielsweise einem Spawn-Punkt).[20][21]
  • Um die Node herum spawnen Materialien, welche von systemgesteuerten Karawanen in die Node transportiert werden. Diese Karawanen können nicht angegriffen werden.[20]
  • NPCs beginnen mit den Bauarbeiten.[20]
  • Spieler, welche sich außerhalb der Node befinden, können die stufenweise visuelle Transformation der Node beobachten.[20]

The Development Area of a Node is where civilization will appear as the Node advances. As the Node Stage increases, different buildings, NPCs, and services will become available in the Development Area. The higher the Node Stage, the more complex and populated the Development Area becomes. Development Areas will also vary depending on the Node Type - Economic, Military, Scientific, or Divine.[9] – Margaret Krohn

Taxation

Alpha-1 mayoral user interface.[22]

Bürgermeister können Steuersätze für ihre Node festlegen.[22]

Bürgermeister/Node-Regierungen weisen Ressourcen, Steuern, und Aufträge zu , um bei der Entwicklung der Node zu helfen.[25]

  • Steuergelder fließen nur in die Finanzierung der Nodeentwicklung. Dieses Gold kann nicht vom Bürgermeister oder einem anderen Spieler abgehoben werden. [7][26]
  • Die Steuersätze skalieren basierend darauf, wann ein Spieler einer Node als Bürger beigetreten ist. Das Ziel ist es, finanziellen Druck auf die Node-Populationen auszuüben, indem die Steuern mit fortschreitenden Nodes, immer teurer werden, anstatt harte Bevölkerungsobergrenzen einzuführen. [27]

Übergeordnete (souveräne) Nodes erhalten einen Teil von allen Steuern aus Unterkünften und Dienstleistungen, welche von ihren Vasallen-Nodes gesammelt werden. [7][28]

  • Diese Steuer wirkt sich nicht unbedingt auf den einzelnen Bürger, da die Steuersätze der Bürger von ihren Nodes bestimmt werden , aber die Finanzen der Node wird von der Besteuerung beeinflusst, die von seiner übergeordneten Node erhoben wird.[28]

Atrophie des Knotenpunkts

info-orange.pngEinige der folgenden Informationen wurden nicht kürzlich von den Entwicklern bestätigt und befinden sich möglicherweise nicht auf der aktuellen Entwicklungs-Roadmap.

Nodes accumulate an experience deficit each day based on the node's level, called node atrophy. The deficit is subtracted from any experience earned that day. If any deficit remains, then this is subtracted from the node’s experience pool.[9]

  • An atrophy system may be implemented, where accumulated atrophy points will progressively disable services within a node. The node may be destroyed if a significant points threshold is reached.[16]
  • A previous design concept was that nodes could delevel based on accumulated atrophy.[16][9]
There are intrinsic problems with reducing a nodes level as opposed to removing the node and it may be possible I'm just gonna say now that we don't actually atrophy nodes to delevel but rather accrue atrophy points that must be replenished over time; and if not it begins to disable services and further compound the atrophy problem; at which point when it reaches a certain atrophy point then the node would just disappear.[16] – Steven Sharif

World manager

The World manager is an algorithm in Ashes of Creation that controls dynamic world elements. It acts as both a throttle and an incentive system for various activities to ensure certain parameters are within acceptable thresholds.[29]

A world manager is a technical term to define a server process that lives alongside the game server; and when the game server needs to do things- communicating with other game servers within that grid- it tells that manager and that manager sends it down to the appropriate server.[30] – Steven Sharif
For example if you know iron is being used as a raw resource for a specific crafting path that might drive up the price of mithril or silver; and that will incentivize the market to course correct a little bit. The idea is to provide soft incentives that help to alleviate the demand and also to prop up the supply that might not be present from the economic systems.[31] – Steven Sharif

Auktionshäuser

Alpha-1 Auctioneer NPC.[32]

If a Node is the Vassal Node of an Economic Node, an Auctioneer NPC appears in that Vassal Node. The Auctioneer allows players to list non-resource/processed materials in the Parent Node’s Auction House, but players cannot bid on items from this Auctioneer. These resources and processed materials must be stored within an Economic Node in order to be listed in that Node’s Auction House. In order to bid, they must still travel to the Auction House in the Parent Node.[33]

Auktionshäuser enable players to list items at the Economic node in which the auction house is located.[34]

  • A listing fee will be charged to list items in the auction house.[34]
  • Vasallen-Nodes of the auction house node will be able to view items that are listed on that auction house, regardless of node type of the vassal node.[34]
    • This will be possible through an auctioneer emissary NPC in that node.[34]
    • Items cannot be listed in non-economic vassal nodes.[34]
  • Items listed are also visible in community boards (bulletin boards).[35]

Data relating to auction houses, such as price history, volumes, average prices, may be available to players via a mayor-constructed service building in their node.[37]

That's probably how it's going to be surfaced... Your your mayor is going to have to build it for you.[37] – Jeffrey Bard
