The gamers were discussing the development of territory on the discussion forum daily. Dragonborn was naturally concerned about the development of their territory.
”This spot will be our Castle, and we have to dig a moat around it. Only a drawbridge can gain access to the Castle. The NPCs are staying behind the Castle, so we can choose a spot for our residences,” TakeASpearHit said solemnly as he pointed to a map.
The map was used for planning their new territory. As the map was professionally drafted, it was very precise.
The map was very aesthetically pleasing, and it had a 3D sandbox that was placed nearby. The gamers had put a lot of effort into making the 3D sandbox.
The 3D sandbox wasn't crucial to the development of the territory.
But to the gamers, the visualization aspect was more important than its functional value.
”Wait, it's the start of the residential areas? This is a flat plain that can be used for farming. How about shifting the houses to the woods in front? Or to the high ground over there?”
Someone gave his suggestion, but TakeASpearHit said, ”That's what I thought initially. However, after consulting the NPCs at Goldshire Town, they said that if the houses are built on the uneven high ground or the unsafe woods, they aren't willing to relocate. It doesn't matter to us, but if there are no NPCs relocating to our territory, how can we levy taxes? Do we collect taxes from ourselves?”
Many gamers nodded in agreement. In this game, the gamers discovered that the NPCs' daily behavior was similar to real life. They would eat, sleep, and use the bathroom. They would also pay taxes to the owner of the territory.
After the York Territory was subjugated by Victoria City, the Tax System collapsed within a short period of time as there was no Tax Officer. So the residents of the York Territory were living comfortably. However, Queen Victoria would reinstate the Tax System very soon.
The gamers would be in charge of collecting the taxes.
It wasn't easy for them to control their own territory. They had to collect taxes for themselves.
The Guild members had discussed the development of the territory many times. Finally, they made a decision.
The next step was the actual construction and required the cooperation of many gamers. Constructing a house wasn't like clicking buttons in other games. The gamers had to lay the bricks one at a time. After playing the games for a few months, the gamers were masters at construction.
Even if they were placed at a construction site, they would become seasoned construction workers.
Some gamers found work outside, and one of the gamers even became a foreman. The information was being shared on the discussion forum.
Not all of the gamers were talented and would become a foreman within a few months. It wasn't a problem for the gamers to build a house since they were efficient. The purchasing of construction materials was handled by the management members and rich gamers.
It was Softie.
