Metropolis
The metropolis is the pinnacle of civilization in Ashes of Creation: A symbol of the power and ingenuity of the People. It is wilderness conquered, mastered, and remade in their own image.[4]
A metropolis is the sixth stage of node advancement.[4]
- The metropolis is the culmination of the node system – it’s the biggest thing that players can bring into being.[4]
- A metropolis requires a large amount of resources to develop and maintain.[4]
- Because of how nodes relate to one another, there can be no more than five metropolises in existence at any time across the overworld and Underrealm.[5][6]
- You could have a Tale of Two Cities/Twin Cities really that are almost adjacent to each other, but have expanded in opposite directions; and as a result they both become Metropolises. So you could have two Metropolises in very close proximity.[7] – Steven Sharif
- Metropolises are 0.5km in diameter (0.25km in radius).[10]
- It is estimated that the number of apartments available in a metropolis node will be in the hundreds, if that node specs into all apartment expansion upgrades. This number is subject to change based on testing.[11]
- The final form of the Development Area is the Metropolis. At this stage of development, the Node is massive. This Metropolis will act as the central hub for all things in its region. Every organization and religion in the world will be represented within the city limits. Exchanges and markets will connect the world, while mansions and businesses will thrive within the Metropolis’ walls. The Metropolis will house a unique and powerful ability called a Superpower that is determined by its Node Type - Military, Economic, Divine or Scientific; we’ll share more details on each of those Node Types in future entries in this series.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Node advancement
Experience gained by each node counts toward that node's advancement (progression) to a higher node stage.[12][14] Node advancement unlocks unique content, and locks out an increasing ring of neighboring nodes from progressing to the next stage.[15]
- Nodes advance to the first stage quickly. This enables NPC services such as vending or banking items.[16]
- The more advanced the node is, the larger its ZOI becomes.[4]
- Vassal nodes must remain capped at least one node stage below their regent/parent node.[17]
- Neighboring/Adjacent nodes from Expedition (stage 1) upward block the growth of their immediate neighbors. This was intended to be tested in Alpha-1.[18][19]
- If the regent node advances, the vassal is once again able to advance.[17]
- The vassal system begins when a node hits Village (stage 3), but neighboring nodes starting from Expedition (stage 1) also block the growth of their immediate neighbors.[18][19]
- Certain quests, such as story arcs, may not be able to be turned in after a node has advanced.[20]
- The territory expansion algorithm takes into account the nearest coast, neighboring nodes, and the heatmap of players in surrounding areas over the last weeks or month.[21]
- Due to the way the progression algorithm calculates territorial (ZOI) expansion during node advancement, there is a small possibility that two nodes of the same stage end up being close to each other.[8]
- 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.[21] – 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 close together and spanning their territories in opposite directions: The Tale of Two Cities thing.[8] – Steven Sharif
- Nodes will have an XP counter starting in Alpha-2 phase-3.[23] The exact percentage of advancement from obtaining items or killing monsters is not going to be explicitly known to avoid "gaming" the system.[24]
- 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.[24] – Steven Sharif
- Node advancement spawns a series of animations and visual effects (within the footprint of the node).[25][12]
- Players within the node are teleported to a safe location, likely a respawn area near the node.[25][26]
- Supplies will spawn around the node and system driven caravans are spawned to bring these supplies into the node. These caravans are not able to be attacked.[25]
- NPCs will begin construction activities.[25]
- Players outside the node will see the new facade of the node pop into existence as the node advances in stage.[25]
- 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.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Vassal nodes

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.[27] – Steven Sharif
Village (stage 3) or higher nodes lock out nearby nodes, converting them into vassal nodes.[28][17][19]
- What vassalship is meant to provide is a way to lock out other nodes from continuing to progress so that the world state isn't always 100% active. Now there are many methods by which you could do this to achieve that end, but vassalship seemed the most appropriate, because it comes along with some other strings and relationships that get created between parent nodes and vassel nodes; and as we know, nodes exist within different type categories between Economic, Divine, Military and Scientific- or Academic: we've been interchanging in those- and so you might have these nation states that arrive, where the capital is the parent node and the major cities are the vassel nodes; and then you'll have these hamlets or camps or whatever that would be the X's, that are stages ones and twos; and they are required to stay as ones and twos unless a spot opens up in that vassalship structure. And the way that spots open is meant to interconnect with our node siege system, which is how you recycle nodes and then allow the way for other nodes to advance, which will service certain different predicates that make the world state reflect that and feel different as a result. So, it's all this interconnected gear shifting of how dynamic world state is meant to feed off of these multiple progression layers that are relevant to different groups of player types within the population of the game, so that everybody has a way that they get to manipulate and change the world in some way shape or form.[28] – Steven Sharif
- A Metropolis (stage 6) can control up to two City (stage 5) nodes. A City (stage 5) can control one Town (stage 4) and one Village (stage 3) node. A Village (stage 3) can control an Encampment (stage 2) or an Expedition (stage 1). If the Village (stage 3) gets destroyed through a siege, its dependant Encampment (stage 2) and Expedition (stage 1) nodes are also destroyed.[27]
- There is a layer of intricacy between how the neighboring nodes advance and what potential parent structure they have in the vassalship tree.[29] – Steven Sharif
- Vassal nodes gain benefits from their regent node (also referred to as sovereign node or parent node) even if the node type of the parent is different to the vassal.[28][30][31]
- Node policies, building choices, and relics owned by the regent node may confer benefits to its vassals.[28]
- Metropolis (stage 6) node superpowers apply to the vassal nodes of that metropolis.[32]
- Vassalship is really meant to confer certain types of benefits that might come from the nodes' choices in policies, or the nodes choices in building types, or relics that they may own. Those give effects that are really only achievable at higher level nodes down to the vassal nodes that might be lower level. So even if they're locked out, they get benefits for being a part of that structure.[28] – Steven Sharif
- Vassal nodes must remain capped at least one node stage below their regent node.[17]
- Neighboring/Adjacent nodes from Expedition (stage 1) upward block the growth of their immediate neighbors. This was intended to be tested in Alpha-1.[18][19]
- If the regent node advances, the vassal is once again able to advance.[17]
- Vassal nodes may have their own vassals; so long as the vassals fall within the parent node's zone of influence.[33][17]
- Nodes do not receive experience from their vassals until the vassals have reached their cap.[12][34]
- Vassal nodes first apply any experience (from themselves or their own vassals) to their own atrophy deficit. Any excess experience beyond the cap is then applied to their parent node.[12][33][17]
- Regent nodes collect taxes from their vassal nodes. These taxes cannot be taken by the mayor or other players.[33]
- Vassals are subject to the government, alliances, wars, taxes, and trade of their parent node, and are able to receive federal aid from them.[17]
- Vassal nodes cannot declare war on their parent node or any of their vassals.[36][17]
- Q: During phase two testing you are hoping to test vassals. Would you be open to test the game implications of vassal sieging their parent node?
- A: I don't think that that's something we necessarily need to test at this stage. I think what we what in testing the vassaling system- what we are getting feedback on is: what is the relationship between the parent node and the vassal node, and the benefits that they provide the citizens of each, and how is that looked upon by the player base through this testing. Is it being looked at as a negative relationship, and if so then probably we need to talk about the intent: what is the intent? The intent is that it should be reflected upon positively, so then how do we start tuning the knobs and levers in order to make that relationship feel better for the players. So that's where we would start, is if we get negative feedback from that relationship of the parent to vassal node then we would start by tuning the levers and the knobs around how to increase the benefit for that reciprocal relationship between those two, before we thought about, 'oh okay well players don't seem to like being vassals of a parent node, let's just let them kill the parent node', because that has much wider architectural design concerns; and we wouldn't go to that step unless we just come to some determination that like, no matter what knob and lever we turn, players just don't like being a vassal. Okay then, let's talk about how players can stop being a citizen of one node and go become the citizen of another node if it's just not their cup of tea to be a vassal citizen, regardless of the benefits that we offer.[36] – Steven Sharif
- 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.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Node layout and style

The layout and architecture within a Node’s development area are determined by influential race. For example, a stage 3 Node with the majority of player contribution being Py'rai would have a Py'rai village with Py'rai architecture. Most NPCs would be Py'rai elves, and offer questlines within the Py'rai narrative.[17] – Margaret Krohn
Each player’s contributed experience is flagged with their character race and other identifiers. When a Node advances, the race with the highest experience contribution determines the Node’s style and culture. This style and culture change can happen at every Node Stage. For example, if a Node advances to Level 2 - Encampment Stage and 51% of all experience was earned by Ren’Kai players, the Node will be a Level 2 Ren’Kai Node. If that same Node advances to a Level 3 - Village Stage Node, but the Py'Rai contributed 62% of all the experience earned, then the Node will be a Level 3 Py'Rai Node.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Node layout and style is determined by several factors:[37][38]
- The way that the node system is built is that they can exist across a spread of 18 biomes, but at the same time have to represent the cultural influence of these cultures that are intrinsically a part of a specific biome.[39] – Steven Sharif
- Environment (biome) and location of the node.[39][37][38]
- A node's footprint is a 1 km2 development area where a node's buildings are located.[40] Nodes can adjust the local topography of their footprint to fit the aesthetic and mechanical requirements of the node.[41][42][40][43]
- Some parts are determined by the area it's in. Some parts are determined by the type it is. Some parts are determined by the race it is; and then the rest of it is determined by the mayor.[38] – Jeffrey Bard
- Race that contributed the highest percentage to the node's advancement will alter the racial appearance of its buildings, NPCs, props, and narrative systems.[44][45][46][37][12][38][47][48]
- All nodes, whether they're associated with a castle or associated with normal node structure, has cultural influences that replicate over to the buildings that are produced and the NPCs that are present.[50] – Steven Sharif
- The rest is determined by the node's mayor.[38]
- It should be possible for a node to complete several building projects within a mayor's one month term in office.[51]
- Q: How long would you say it will take players on average to fill/build up a node completely from wilderness to metropolis?
- A: It's one thing to get a node to a certain level: it's another thing to develop the node; and I can't really give you an on-average expectation, because there's a lot of variables at play. There's how many citizens does the node have attracted to it; what's the type of traffic that the node is attracting to it based on things like its tax rates, or the specialization that it chose to spec into, based on the building types it's chosen to build. All of those things are variables that can affect the quote-unquote "average build-out time" of a particular node. So it's difficult to give you an average when there's so many variables along those lines. But the idea is that if there is a particular project that players are interested in in developing based on the node stage, that they would have the ability to complete several of those projects as within a single term of a mayor; and a term of a mayor is one month.[51] – Steven Sharif
Racial influences

We have essentially sets that exist across all races; and each race that dons those armor sets is going to have their own racial influence on the presentation of those particular sets. So that's something that's unique in how each of the races get diversified. Additionally, the more that one particular race contributes to a node's development, it's going to manifest in that particular node's architectural influences. You're going to see the architectures of those races become manifest within the nodes as well: That's another way that we diversify each race and we present each race's culture in the game as through those architectures, through those props that exist, through the tailoring of the armor sets that the NPC might wear, to the different factions that exist. Factions will have their own affiliation with different races as well. Each race will also have some different nomenclature when it comes to the lore, or comes to locations in the world. They're going to have their own language influences as well: The way they speak is something that's going to be distinct between races; when you have dialogue trees with particular NPCs. So all of those things really go into setting an immersive world where the cultures have their own identity.[45] – Steven Sharif
Cultural influences manifest in many ways, from node and gear aesthetics to NPC languages and lore.[44][45][53][12]
- The cultural influence over a node serves as one of our types of predicates. So when we talk about dynamic content, when we talk about world spawners changing based off of these things, like narrative structures changing based off of that story arcs changing based off of that: Those all get informed by this predicate of cultural influence. Cultural influence is determined by racial contribution toward node development... Racial progression still serves as a very important piece of the predicate system, which influences our narrative structures.[44] – Steven Sharif
- Gear appearance of certain armor sets is influenced by the player's race.[45]
- Node layout and style is influenced by the race that contributes the most to that node.[44][45]
- There is an attrition and that attrition on experience and influence is heightened based on the performance of the race in the world. So if all these nodes are Orc nodes then their attrition rate is very high to compete with the cultural establishment of new nodes because they have more influence in the world and a popular opinion is against them in their outlying regions that they do not have influence in.[54] – Steven Sharif
NPC racial interaction
- NPCs will react differently to different character races.[55]
- Languages will be distinct between NPC races and in the lore.[45]
- Certain quest givers and NPCs may only be present at nodes with certain cultural influences.[56]
- Depending on the cultural influence of the node activates certain types of quest lines and/or sponsors. Some of those are shared, some of those are general. Some of those relate to a progression path that is a first time user experience. Those will be constant across all culture types. Some of them, however, are predicates that spawn when certain story arcs and/or events, or commissions or buy orders become present within the node; and those might change based on the cultural influence of the node. So there is a separation between those populations.[56] – Steven Sharif
Player housing
Player housing | Type. | Availability. | Starting count. | Limit. |
---|---|---|---|---|
Apartments | Instanced.[4] | Village stage and higher.[57] | 50.[58] | One per character per server realm.[59] |
Freeholds | Open world.[4] | Village stage and higher.[4] | Low thousands per server.[60][61] | One per account.[59] |
Inns | Instanced.[62] | Starting areas and Nodes.[63] | Most accessible.[63] | - |
Static housing | In-node.[4] | Village stage and higher.[4] | 8.[58] | One per character per server realm.[59] |
- If you were to think about the level of exclusivity between the different types of housing that we have, obviously the most exclusive when it comes to a quantity is going to be Freeholds, followed by In-node housing, followed by Apartments, then followed by Inns.[64] – Steven Sharif
Real estate
Players buy the deeds for housing from the node itself, or may buy and sell properties from other players.[65][66][67][68][4]
- The developers are considering an auction-based method for listing new properties that become available for purchase when a node advances.[69] Currently freeholds may be acquired via auction.[60][70][71][72][73][74]
- Housing will have a base price that scales with the number of citizens in the node.[75]
- There is no cap on the price of player-originated housing sales.[76]
- In-node housing will be at a premium, and is expected to be hotly contested.[4]
- The more apartments that have been purchased in a node, the higher the price scales.[77]
- Player housing that is destroyed during a node siege can no longer be sold.[78]
- Freehold plots may be purchased from and sold to other players,[65][79] or can be obtained via deeds issued by a Village (stage 3) or higher node.[60][70][71][72][73][74][80][81]
- We're establishing a real estate market that players can invest in and then sell within the in-game economy, but also they are a resource that's subject to removal through the sieging system as well, so there's a bit of risk implied there but the idea is that this is something for players to strive for.[79] – Steven Sharif
- Housing ownership can default back to the node if the owner fails to pay their property taxes. A balance and penalties will be charged to the new purchaser of the home in the manner of a "foreclosure process".[75]
- Players will not be able to exceed their allotment of housing in the game.[85]
- Rental and leasing concepts are under consideration.[85]
Housing benefits
Player housing offers a number of benefits.[66][86]
- Ability to claim citizenship to a node.[87][88][68]
- Additional benefits are granted to home owners who are also citizens of that node.[76]
- Ability to place furniture and other decor items.[89][52][90]
- Houses will be empty when purchased. Players will need to place furnishings and decorations in them.[91]
- Each size of player-owned housing determines how many decor items can be placed in it.[66]
- Storage containers.[90][86]
Each different type of housing offers different additional benefits.[76]
- Apartment benefits include placement of pots to grow seeds and other functional furniture items.[92]
- Freehold benefits include the ability to place business and artisan buildings.[73][52][86]
- Static housing benefits include garden sections for farming special types of crops.[93][94][52]
- Players may grow crops in the garden sections of freeholds or static houses.[92][94][52][95]
- Crafting benches are available in freeholds and static houses but not apartments.[92][52][86]
- Prized items can be displayed within a house.[86]
- Achievements and trophies may be displayed.[86]
- Social activities.[86]
- Housing may provide proximity based bonuses.[86]
Caravans

The Caravan System is a major aspect of the economy in Ashes of Creation. While the rewards can be great for moving massive amounts of Commodities and other materials across the world of Verra, players can choose to be Caravan attackers or defenders, making these hotspots for PvP battles.[97]
Caravans are vehicles that facilitate the transfer of cargo across Verra. They are key to supplying nodes with needed materials, and for transporting commodities over long distances for increased profits.[99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108]
- Caravans are one of the primary methods of ensuring that nodes have the supplies they need to build the buildings they need to build so that they can specialize. They're also the primary method by which players can multiply their wealth, because wealth in our game is acquired through glint, which gets traded in for commodities that can then be either sold directly to the vendor at the node you're at, or can be transported through the caravan system to other nodes for a multiple return; and that I think is going to separate the mice from men in the game with regards to the economic gameplay. Those who can successfully trade those caravans across long distances are going to see obviously a significant amount of wealth more so than their counterparts and be able to control certain markets.[99] – Steven Sharif
- Personal caravans are used to transport cargo for one or more players.[104][105][106]
- Personal caravans are initiated from and arrive at caravansary node buildings within Village (stage 3) nodes and above.[109][104][110][111]
- Caravansaries will exist in lawless zones outside of nodes during Alpha-2 for testing purposes.[112]
- Mayoral caravans are system driven caravans that are launched by Mayors to trade node commodities with other nodes in exchange for service building upgrades and bespoke buffs.[113][114][102][103][115]
- Caravans create an objective-based PvP event in the open-world that players can choose to attack, defend, or opt-out of.[116][117][118][119]
- PvE caravan events can cause roadways to be blocked off or hostile mobs to spawn to attack the caravan.[120][49]
- It is possible to launch decoy caravans and merchant ships, but there are visual hints of what is contained in a caravan.[121][122][123] Decoy crates may be available via social organization progression.[121]
Node sieges

As some areas in the world grow, others will fall. This is the foundation of the living, breathing world that is Ashes of Creation, where players will have the ability to make important decisions that matter in the longevity of an area becoming a city, or whether to siege a rival town. Rise above the ashes, create the world around you, and be a part of the story that unfolds because of your actions and decisions.[12] – Margaret Krohn
Node sieges enable players to destroy nodes starting at Village (stage 3).[12] This paves the way for new development and access to the locked content in surrounding nodes. Due to this dynamic, political strife and intrigue play an important role in the structure of the world.[126][127][128][129][14]
- Sieging nodes will not be an easy task for the attackers. Cities and metropolises will have a considerable defensive advantage.[14]
- PvE-oriented players will have alternative ways to participate in sieges, such as fulfilling buy orders and mayoral commissions to fund the siege, or constructing siege weapons to support either the attackers or defenders.[130]
- If you own a home in a node and you don't want to see that home destroyed, you need to defend that city![131] – Steven Sharif
- Lower level characters will have usefulness in mass combat that does not depend on their level, such as manning siege weapons, helping repair fortifications, bringing proximity-based buffs to key positions, using stealth or scaling walls. These types of things are relevant to the tide of battle and do not require the player to be max-level or have high combat stats.[132]
- There will be systems that mimic some of the mechanics of sieges, but there won't be practice sieges.[133]
- The majority (~80%) of content in Ashes of Creation is open-world but there may be instanced battles within castle and node sieges where specific groups can participate in small, short-duration objective-based battles for specific waypoints.[126][134][135][136][127][137][138][128]
- Node sieges will be released as part of Alpha-2 phase-2.[124][125]
- Alpha-2 node sieges will be open-world, but there will be a temporary registration and approval process for both attackers and defenders to manage the number of participants during testing.[139]
- We are going to be putting in a temporary kill zone. So there will be registration on behalf of the defenders and on the attackers that will have an approval process for the attacker who laid the siege scroll and for the defender whose node it is to approve participants. If you're not on the registration list and you're in the vicinity of the fight, you will have a countdown and then you'll be murdered unless you leave the area. So, that's a temporary solution to ensure that we can keep the numbers at around 250 to 300 players roughly for these events until we get higher capacity capability.[139] – Steven Sharif
Monster coin events
Elite monster coin events occur for nodes that exist between the Village and Metropolis stages. This level of event would include something along the lines of a dungeon level bosses and mobs coming into the world to pillage and destroy specific centers of activity.[140]
Epic monster coin events are of truly fitting proportions. These events occur randomly in the world as well as in realms where nodes have advanced to the City and Metropolis stages of development. This would be a legendary boss awoken from their long and deep slumber: A mighty dragon perhaps, whose sole purpose is to plunder to punish those who have summoned his malice and hate.[140]
