Sandbox

Sandbox means that the goal is to design virtual world with its own set of mechanisms and rules that will let players to do anything within that world that their imagination desires. Like a real sandbox, with some sand, some tools and your own two hands, you can do whatever you want – dig a tunnel, shovel out moats, build castles and raise hills.

These are the very things you will be able to do in this game: shape terrain in any way you like, such as raising ground, lowering ground, flattening it for further building placements, digging tunnels, even finding ore veins and mining them. You can build entire underground cities, as you are not limited by the width or height of your tunnels. You can make a huge pyramid with your friends and dig a maze inside of it just for fun. The only limit is your imagination! Watch the pre-alpha videos to get a look at these aspects of the game in more detail.

If you don’t want to dwell underground, you can make a home for yourself, a whole village, town or even a castle. You can also make it sandbox-style. You can build whole castle walls with sections, allowing you to build them however you like. Who knows, maybe you will be the first one to build the Great Wall in this world. Same goes for buildings – you can either choose to use preset buildings (such as windmills, warehouses, keeps etc.) or design your own multi-story buildings square by square and however you like.

MMORPG

Life is Feudal: MMO was released on November 17, 2017.

MMORPG stands for massively multi-player online role-playing game. This means, that you won’t be alone in your sandbox, there will be many more other players that will either be aiding you to further your own goals, or working against you to further their own, all the time shaping this new virtual world. It also means that there will be an RPG system, based on statcap and skillcap concepts (UO style), alignment and a rich crafting system spiced with an innovative flash minigame concept.

CLAIMS/LANDS

Claims are radial areas around you monument providing protection from a midnight decay and offering additional options for guild management to configure permissions. There are two types of a guild claim areas with a separate set of rules and permissions

 

• Town claim. A permanent radius of 20 tiles
• City claim. Zero value radius for a fresh new monument and grows together with upgrade progress bar and monument level.

Depending on a diplomacy state you will see other players’ claims in a different color. Neutral lands for example

• War — Red
• Neutral — Yellow
• Ally — Blue
• Own lands — Green

Pay attention to these colors as if you cross Neutral lands border, Claim owners will be able to use «Trespassers!» ability, mark you as a criminal for a short time and kill without Karma loss. An additional message about border crossing will appear in a system chat informing you of potential danger. While you are located on an enemy (Red) claim you can be killed without any consequences to karma even without using «Trespassers!» ability.

Q: What are the basic stats in Life is Feudal: MMO?

A: There are 5 main indicators — combinations of which will determine what kind of skills can be used by a single player:

2. Agility (Agi). Each point of agility increases movement speed and accurracy of ranged weaponry;
3. Constitution (Con). Each point of constitution grants +1 soft HP and +1 hard HP. Each point will increase the inventory capacity by 0.5 points;
4. Willpower (Will). Each point of willpower grants player +1 soft Stamina, +1 hard Stamina, and increases the weight capacity by 2;
5. Intellect (Int). Each point of intellect past 10 increases total skillcap by +2 points.

Q: How can I start my own farm?

A: You need to level up Household to Tier 2, so you could unlock the Farming skill.  Farming is used to produce crops for activities such as Cooking, Animal Lore, and sowing new crops. Here’s what you need to harvest your first crop:

1. Check the map and make sure you are in the correct region for the crops you want to grow, as they cannot be grown outside the region where they can be gathered;
2. Check the calendar and wait for the right seeding season for the crops you want to grow;
3. Prepare a soil for a sow. Unplowed soil will not be able to bring any harvest. With a shovel equipped, you can right click on the ground and choose Farming/Plow to turn the selected soil to plow it. Alternatively, you can craft a Plough and use it to plow the soil faster. Rocky surfaces and some steep tiles cannot be plowed, so get rid of rocks and pavement before seeding anything;
4. After all the preparations will be finished and the seeding season is finally there, sow your seeds;
5. Wait until the gathering season of your crops and gather them before they decay;
6. After you harvest your crops, the used soil will turn into regular soil and will decrease in quality. 

Note: Low quality fertile soil can be improved by fertilizing it. This ability will be unlocked once you achieve Level 90 Farming. Take Dung from your coops, barns, and stables, right click on the ground and choose Farming/Fertilize.

Ничто так не радует, как союзник

Наши задачи в самом начале игры находятся где-то далеко за гранью понятного. Однако ничего сверхъестественного нам и не стоит делать. Вся суть Life is Feudal: Your Own — выживать, развиваться и объединяться с себе подобными. Поначалу лучше не попадаться другим игрокам на сервере под руку, так как всегда найдутся те, кто захочет подпортить жизнь начинающего феодала. Хоть в игре и присутствует карма, портящаяся из-за нападения на других игроков, в особые дни все запреты сходят на нет. Вообще в одиночку играть в Life is Feudal: Your Own плохая затея, ведь человек — существо стадное, а поэтому найти свое стадо все же придется. В таком случае и игра становится интереснее и развитие персонажа легче.

Горы и леса — первое, что видишь вначалеГоры и леса — первое, что видишь вначале

На первых порах попотеть придется каждому. Создание предметов и вникание в игровую вселенную происходит спустя несколько часов геймплея. То мы будем разбираться с основами управления, то искать ресурсы, а то и вовсе бегать по лесу и наслаждаться красивыми пейзажами. Кстати, о пейзажах и визуальной составляющей. Графически Life is Feudal: Your Own выполнена неплохо. Те самые пейзажи иногда вызывают дикий восторг, особенно в самом начале игры. Но когда видишь анимацию все положительные впечатления о визуальной части продукта забываются.

Опасный типОпасный тип

Герой двигается, будто у него в штанах килограмм гов..а камней, а когда попытается кого-то ударить все это действие напоминает битву однорукого с одноногим. Так и хочется переключиться на режим от первого лица, лишь бы не видеть инвалидности движений персонажа. Да, кстати, в Life is Feudal: Your Own есть два режима — от первого лица и от третьего (прям как в Skyrim). Какой из них лучше сказать сложно, и в том, и в том есть свои недостатки и достоинства. Да черт с ней с этой анимацией, кому она нужна вообще, здесь это не главное. Все это можно сказать, если бы не одно «но». Это «но» заключается в плохой оптимизации, из-за которой наблюдать за припадочным поведением персонажа становится еще отвратительнее. Естественно, в патчах все поправят.

Поединок с самим собой

Так как игра основывается на элементах «песочницы», вся суть здесь вовсе не в боях. Игровой мир при желании может быть подвластен нашему герою, если тот, в свою очередь не будет халтурить и серьезно преуспеет в своем ремесле. Раскачавшись, играть становится куда интереснее и все негативное, что смущало нас в начале понемногу начинает исчезать. Однако, повторимся, развить героя очень непросто, а поэтому игра вряд ли подойдет ленивым любителям всего и сразу. Но если стержень есть, Life is Feudal: Your Own покажется действительно захватывающей и полной жизни игрой.

Небо как настоящееНебо как настоящее

Хотелось бы немного упомянуть о боевой системе. Да, она здесь есть, и она нон-таргет. Благодаря этому в игре присутствует серьезная доля экшен-составляющей, которая вполне лаконично вписывается во все остальное. Все путешествия сопровождает музыка. Нельзя сказать, что она плохая, напротив, музыка добавляет атмосферности и живости. Но когда отключаешь эту «неплохую» музыку, становится намного интереснее.

Солнце скрылось за одним из домовСолнце скрылось за одним из домов

Пение птичек, шелест ветра, звук от листьев — уши просто наслаждаются таким коктейлем лесной музыки. Переключившись на режим от третьего лица и выключив музыку, оставив только звук эффектов, понемногу начинаешь погружаться в игру. Чувство того, что мы и есть феодал не заставляет себя долго ждать.

Из раннего доступа Steam вышел Life is Feudal — симулятор средневековой жизни от московской студии

Замок феодала.

На холме или высокой скале, подобно гнезду хищной птицы, возвышался над окружающей  местностью замок. Это было жилище феодала и его крепость. В замке феодал укрывался от восставших крестьян и нападений других феодалов. 

Сначала замки строили из дерева, позднее — из камня. Мощные стены с зубчатыми башнями служили надёжной защитой. Замок был окружён широким рвом с водой. Через ров к воротам был перекинут подъёмный мост, на ночь и при нападении врага его поднимали на цепях. По сигналу тревоги воины феодала спешили занять свои места на стенах и башнях.

Чтобы проникнуть замок, враги должны были засыпать ров, разбить дубовые, окованные железом ворота. На их головы со стен сбрасывали камни и брёвна, лили кипяток и горячую смолу, в них метали стрелы и копья. Но даже прорвавшись через ворота, враги часто не достигали цели — им приходилось штурмовать вторую, ещё более высокую стену.

Над всеми постройками замка возвышалась главная башня. В ней феодал со своими воинами и слугами мог выдержать долгую осаду. Внутри башни один над другим были расположены залы, служившие жильём феодалу и его семье. В подвальном помещении находился колодец с водой и хранились запасы продуктов. Здесь же была тюрьма, в сыром, тёмном подземелье томились пленники и непокорные крестьяне, прикованные цепями к стене. В толще стены главной башни делали винтовую лестницу. По ней можно было спуститься в подземный ход, который вёл к реке или густому лесу.

Замок постоянно напоминал крестьянам о грозной силе феодала. 

STANDINGS/DIPLOMACY

Standings or diplomacy are available for guilds with a monument
Standings page are available at Guild management page. Any guild member can access this page, but only the Guild Leader can change values

All standings for all guilds in a world will be opened by default, but you can use pre-configured filters and quickly check guilds in war with yours or learn who is your friend or foe

Standing described in details

To set War standing it’s enough to choose this diplomacy option just by one guild. Standing from targeted guild will be automatically set to War

 
To end War it’s vice versa to the previous scenario. Both Guild should take a decision to stop a war. It will be counted as War if one guild will set Neutral standing (for example) and another will maintain War status

Note that based on your standing with other guild lands color will be changed. Applicable for an F4 view and map visualization

Q: What are the skills in Life is Feudal: MMO?

A: There are total 55 different skills in our game, that are divided into three types:

1. Crafting — allows the character to craft and construct items, objects, and buildings;
2. Combat — allows the character to equip certain type of weapons and different types of armors as well as warhorses and use siege weaponry;
3. Minor — allows the character to impose certain in-game actions like gestures or additional moves.

Note: Every branch of skills consists of 3 (combat) and 4 (crafting) tiers . Combat skills additionally include four independent skills. The next tier of each skill is unlocked upon reaching 30 skill points in the previous tier. Increasing next tier skill past 29.999 is possible upon reaching 60 skill points in previous tier. Minor skills are the only exception, as they consist only of independent skills.

Q: Trading posts. What are they?

A: Trading posts are what makes the world economics spin. The trading post is a special type of an Outpost which allows players to exchange their goods. Its core functioning isn’t complicated: players are placing the goods in the trading post and set the price for them. Together, trading posts are emerging as an enormous system, where players can see the trade offers from every trading post in the Realm. 
One will have to bring his gold to the post where the item is stored and conduct the trade there. In short, every trading post will show every trade offer, but only one post will be able to distribute the good from that specific offer.
And yes, medieval times are not to be called medieval without a certain risk, emerging out of nowhere. It’s fair to say, that goods stored are not safe and can be taken by a guild you’re currently warring with if they succeed at raiding and capturing the Trade post.
Resources and skills needed for building the Trading post can be found here.  

Province[]

A province is a union of ~50 neighbouring fiefs. The province can be captured by a guild. Possession of a province grants the right to receive taxes from the fiefs within it but does not provide any additional rights. Each province has a name that is displayed on the map.

, Province and Protectorate

PROVINCE OWNERSHIP

Every province can be captured and controlled by a guild. In order for a certain guild to get control over a Province, it must issue and win an Instanced Battle against the current owner of the province. Unclaimed provinces still need to be challenged by an Instanced Battle, but attackers will be granted with an auto win.

Controlling of the province does not provide any direct control over the fiefs, outposts or other guild monuments that are within the province borders. But instead, it allows for the controlling guild to automatically gather taxes from the monuments, fiefs and private claims on this province.

TAXES

Taxes are gathered automatically and appear in a guild monument container of a guild, that controls the given province. Currently, the tax rate is fixed at a rate of 20%. That means that the owners of outposts, guild monuments and private claims in this province will have to pay extra 20% to the owner of the province.

Example: For instance, if a certain guild pays 1 silver coin per in-game day for their outpost support, they will have to pay 20 additional copper coins to the guild that currently owns the province.

Note: If there are not enough coins for the support and tax, Outposts and Monuments on the fief will be downgraded, damaged and eventually destroyed by the game with an each missed payment.

To see taxes, that your guild will get, press the ‘Taxes’ button in the Monument window.

Once first unclaimed and neutral fiefs and provinces are claimed by guilds they can contest for the ownership of those lands.

CAPTURING A FIEF & OUTPOSTS (RAID MECHANICS)

In order to capture a Fief, the offending guild should claim the Outpost of the defenders that is placed on the targeted Fief. In order to do so, attackers must follow the following steps:

Attackers need to have their fief with a level 3 Outpost be bordering with the fief that they want to capture
The guild that own attacked fief (defenders) must have an active Guild’s Judgment Hour at the given moment
Attackers use ‘Initiate a Holy Judgement’ ability on their level 3 Outpost to make it “burning” with a Holy Judgement fire (it will be marked on the Map with a torch icon).

That will make their own fief AND all bordering fiefs and all buildings on these fiefs to be vulnerable to the siege damage, destruction and capturing for the next two hours.
Attackers need to use ‘Claim outpost’ ability to initiate the claiming process and prevent defenders from interrupting this process.
If attackers succeed, level 2/3 defenders’ outpost will lose one level but outpost and fief will still be owned by defenders. While level 1 outpost will change ownership and will belong to attackers along with a fief it stands on.

There are some details that are important in this system:

An outpost cannot be claimed until one real day passes after someone has used ‘Claim outpost’ ability on it.
After successful claiming, the outpost cannot be upgraded for the next 3 real-life days.
Outposts cannot be destroyed with an ability nor by inflicting the damage. The only way to destroy an outpost — is to stop its support with coins and letting it to decay.
You must keep in mind, that initiating a Holy Judgement on your fief will be considered as a hostile action towards all the neighbouring fiefs. Some neighbouring guilds that you didn’t want to attack originally might attack your outpost to ‘extinguish’ it and thus save their fiefs from the vulnerability that you have triggered.

In order to capture the main Fief of a guild (with a Guild Monument on it) attacking guild must make sure that they downgraded that guild monument to Tier 1 by capturing all Fiefs that are bordering with that main fief. Once the defender’s Guild Monument is downgraded to the Tier 1 attackers should follow the normal flow, that is provided above, in order to raid and destroy the defenders’ Guild Monument.

If a Guild Monument Tier don’t allow the guild to capture one more fief, then after successful 1 level outpost claiming, the outpost will be destroyed (except fiefs bordering with the Guild Monument).

Вооружение феодала.

Нелегко было безоружным крестьянам одолеть феодалов даже одного — конный воин — рыцарь — был вооружён тяжёлым прямым мячом и длинным копьём. Большим щитом он мог прикрыться с головы до ног. Тело рыцаря защищала рубашка, сплетённая из железных колец,- кольчуга. Позднее кольчугу сменил стальной панцирь. На голову рыцарь надевал шлем, в минуту опасности он опускал на лицо забрало — металлическую пластинку с узкими прорезями для глаз. Рыцари сражались на сильных, выносливых конях, которые также были защищены доспехами.

Вооружение рыцаря было очень тяжёлым, оно весило до 50 килограммов. Поэтому воин был неуклюж и неповоротлив. Если всадника сбивали с коня, он часто не мог подняться без посторонней помощи. Чтобы сражаться на коне в тяжёлых доспехах, нужна была долгая выучка; феодалы готовились к военной службе с детства.

Железное оружие стоило очень дорого, за боевого коня и полное вооружение всадника надо было отдать целое стадо — 45 коров! Это мог сделать лишь крупный землевладелец, на которого работали крепостные крестьяне. Поэтому военным делом долгое время занимались почти исключительно феодалы.

Q: How can I communicate with other players in-game?

A: In order to achieve maximum convenience, several situational in-game chat systems have been established:
