Path System III: Property Paths

Path of the Operator

Warning: The PotO has little to do with riding or mounts – it is mainly about the acquisition and usage of vehicles/ships that are not part of the player’s mount tab.

• Acquire & use chariot: The player is able to order or construct a chariot. The chariot is a vehicle that allows for free use like a standard vehicle combat machine.
• Acquire vehicle: The player is able to order or construct vehicles or ships (see vehicle blogpost for examples).
• Vehicle use: The player's freedom of maneuvering with his vehicles. 
• option to summon the vehicle in appropriate places (on land with carriages and tanks, at sea with small and large ships, in the air with zeppelins and airships) 
• option to move them around on predefined paths 
• option to move around freely (albeit slowly and without the same maneuverability as mounts) 
• option to instantly travel between zones on a regional map.
• Give a ride: Other players may enter the player’s vehicle.
• 2 passengers
• 4 passengers
• 9 passengers
• Hire crew: The player is able to hire NPCs for his vehicles, like crewmen, vendors, professionals, soldiers etc. Applies to chariots/cars as well as vehicles.
• Fast transport: the character is able to summon a flying vehicle or mechanical mount (if he has one) to pick him up and drop him off 
• at the next Flightmaster (works like the whistle in Legion)
• the character is able to pick any Flightmaster in the area
• the character is able to be dropped off at any place in the area where he has already been before
• Upgrade vehicle: The player can add certain features to his vehicle.
• convenience features 
• ordnance 
• vanity features(like, say, adding a lounge to an airship)

 

Path of the Builder

• This path only becomes important if building options of any kind (garrisons, order halls, guild garrions, housing etc.) are introduced and/or expanded upon. All perks from this tree can be derived from the according blogpost.

Path of the Warlord

• This path only becomes important if followers of any kind (cohorts, troops, henchmen etc.) are introduced and/or expanded upon. All perks from this tree can be derived from the according blogpost. Since the PotW should not automatically depend on a player’s progress on the path of the builder, the player’s army can also be organized without a fortress. The way Legion handled follower missions and everything related to it would be a blueprint for a non-builder warlord.
