The Great Constructs

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The numbers listed below by no means should be taken
100% serious even though I tried to balance them in a sense

No timers are listed as to how long each buff lasts
as they are a general idea as to the buff itself
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
() - Things in parentheses are the description of said ability
[] - Things in brackets are the cooldowns of the said ability. All real construct abilities give a global
cooldown and disables the use of any other ability until the global cooldown of the ability used time has
passed.
{} - Things in braces are the cost of material required to use the ability

Hell no

Like that one

What if the Gate Keeper turned off the construct for a week like it does the Golem Of Prague summon.

Thus allowing only 1 person to leave the town within the short limited span or that they will need to build multiple expensive-costing constructs if they wish to have multiple characters port out of the base.
It could even be less than 10 minutes to avoid certain things such as transferring mass goods to another place. (Albeit you probably won't be transferring much in the current 10 minutes I suggested)

It would cost 1200 Babel bricks to basically allow 2 people to port to providence for 10 minutes under TbF rather than 2 people being able to port with 700 babel bricks total cost as you would need two separate constructs(500 bricks each)
And if people are actually just porting out to save that character then they would be sacrificing their base if they didn't have other characters to defend it with or if they mess up and don't return within the 10 minutes then they couldn't get back to base.

That or increase the cost from 100 Babel bricks to something like 250 Babel Bricks. (Again, just rough number estimates)

Still not, I hate all those carebears ideas

Sounds kinda dumb and doesn't fit into the theme of salem.

Brick

I don't remember correctly but aren't you not allowed to port right when a TbF is placed and yet you can't destroy it until the 24 hours pass thus allowing a perpetual placement of TbF's without any counter to stop from being able to port. (Never tried to mortar a TbF before the 24 hour raid timer)

Actually when I was researching all of these they are parts of the bible, etc. which would tie in with paganism.

I like the idea in general, but it should be more aimed at a competitive/pvp scenario.

So because it's part of the bible then it should fit into the theme of the game LOL OK. wtf are constructs anyways? This some sort of idol? can you stack them up? Can only a certain number of them exist? How far do these buffs reach? The idea doesn't make any sense other than you saw how villages act in HnH but towns don't work the same at all and shouldn't work like hnh. That system is broken and blows unless you are the one abusing it.
