Template:Node development/es
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.[1] – 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.[2] – Margaret Krohn
El diseño de un nodo y su estilo es determinado por varios factores:[3]
- La localización y el entorno (bioma) del nodo.[4][5][3]
- Nodes will adjust the local topography to fit the aesthetic and mechanical requirements of the node.[4] – Steven Sharif
- Los nodos ajustarán la topografía local para adaptarse a los requisitos estéticos y mecánicos del nodo.[6]
Currently the way that the platform system is set up, is it's capable of adjusting the topography of the node's footprint, regardless of the surrounding terrain. So the reason for that is we want to have flexibility in the presentation of the node's layout and how it is essentially both from an aesthetic standpoint as well as a mechanical standpoint with node sieges- how it's constructed and that construction should have the ability to take on a variance of different types of topography. So it shouldn't be dependent on the surrounding area. Now that's not to say that the surrounding area isn't going to have some influence over. So for example... we're experimenting a little bit with the platform tech and putting up a node up against the side of a mountain or on the edge of a cliff or something that has a beautiful vista. Those are things that we're going to test out obviously as we continue to work on the node tool and how that platform system works, but the idea is to have the node independent of the surrounding terrain.[6] – Steven Sharif
- El tipo de nodo.[3]
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.[3] – Jeffrey Bard
- La raza que contribuya con el porcentaje más alto al avance del nodo modificará la apariencia racial de sus edificios, NPCs y objetos.[7][5][2][3][8][9]
- Las razas relacionadas entre ellas no combinan sus influencias culturales. Por ejemplo, los Py'Rai y los Empyrean cuentan como culturas diferentes. Su raza madre, los Pyrian, ya no existen.[10]
- Este cambio de estilo y cultura ocurre en cada etapa del nodo.[2]
- Esto aplica para todos los nodos, incluso los nodos de castillo.[11]
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.[11] – Steven Sharif
- El resto es determinado por el alcalde del nodo.[3]
- Debería ser posible completar varios proyectos de construcción en un nodo durante el mes en el que el alcalde ostenta su cargo.[12]
- Q: How long would you say it will take players on average to fill slash 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.[12] – Steven Sharif
