TERRITORIES

[☆ F ☆]

The territory system is the newest addition to NRP's diverse gameplay system, which makes an effort to create more interest in the roleplay boards across the site for more than just moot experience and money. Essentially, territories on NRP exist are as their layman's definitions, but with an added twist. By categorizing and scaling the type of territory that exists, as well as what each territory brings, we hope to give incentive to owning property, from the smallest storage units to castles.

Territories are just great. Why? Well, for starters, some can be used for extreme storage. Some can be used to restore yourself quicker - just buy a clinic or hospital! Want a small army available at a moment's notice? Invest in a barracks, buy some NPC's, and pretty soon, you can find yourself controlling regions and conquering nations. Think you can dominate a certain market? Invest in a factory that sells certain products on a large scale, and watch the ryo our in! Think you are a pretty good blacksmith, and want your weapons to dominate the land? Establishing a chain of smithys! Now can you see the potential!?

Earning territories can be done through a myriad of ways. During certain story events, performing certain proper actions (like liberating a town from a tyrant, for example) can lead to a property being gifted in your name. You can also simply take it. Know of a cool castle? Go in there and kill the head NPC, and make their minions yours, or kill them off and hire your own. Be ready to fight though! Or maybe you can just be a law abiding citizen and buy some! Though prices vary by region and type, there can always be a property within your range, guaranteed!

In the next few posts, the types of Territories you can earn and what they can do for you shall be explained!

When creating or establishing a territory, a few guidelines must be followed!

First off, a territory carries a certain type. The type of territory one chooses to have will determine that exactly they can do for you. Afterall, territories are just useless threads and boards unless they're actually helping you! After establishing the type, you will be prompted to establish the ranking of your territory - much like jutsu, from 'D' to 'S', to keep things familiar! - which will establish just how much of a benefit that territory can be to you. Finally, you must establish the means of which you plan on obtaining this territory. Some pre-established territories have set conditions for acquisition (like conquering or simply purchasing), while those customized by the player can be more open, as long as it makes sense and is properly earned.

It is important to note that all territories are considered Place Of Interest. POI's indicate that the board or thread your in is not normal, indeed different/special, and has unique interactions available for the player that most other threads won't. As such, all actions that take place in a territory will be heightened, from potential difficulty to reward. 

In terms of death, all territories follow the board they are in - essentially, if that board has death disabled, then any territories in that area will carry the same status.

All properties made by players must first be conceptualized and approved in customs before being officially deemed a territory. Those already in existence will already have their term for acquisition visibly for all players to see.

☆ HQ ☆

Headquarters refers to territories that focus mainly on player inventory control, as well as having a place to stay, and all the positive effects that can yield. While this may not mean much in the RP sense, Headquarter territories offer fantastic supplementary boosts for players that can benefit them in the long run. For these types of territories, the following effects are active, which grow as the rank of the territory improves.

When creating these territories, one can be liberal in description, as long as they adhere to the basic guidelines the house's rank provides. The rank of the house will naturally determine its cost, but even better, the amount of effects it can carry. Effects for territories refers to passive boosts you receive merely through possession, though some form of minor roleplay will be required as well.

• D: 50,000 Ryo / 1 effect
• C: 100,000 / 2
• B: 250,000 / 3
• A: 500,000 / 4
• S:  1,000,000 / 5

Now, onto the effects!

• Storage: Have extra inventory you wanna secure? With this effect, you gain extra slots for all your items!
• D: 5 Item Packs Slots, 2 Accessory Slots & 3 Primary Weapons.
• C: 10 / 4 / 6
• B: 25 / 6 / 9
• A: 50 / 8 / 12
• S: 100 / 10 / 15

[li]Security: Having an HQ can be a nice concept, but knowing how tumultuous the times are, it is very possible for your terrirtory to be target for theft! Fear not, for added security countermeasures will assist in preventing this. Not only will your perimeter be equipped with tools to assist in surveillance, but you will now be given the option of leaving a Follower at a territory to guard it, rather than having it by your side at all times!

[li]Well Rested: This effect translates to your player receiving boosts in battle from the benefits a good house with a nice bed can provide.

[li]Hideout: Because a territory is a POI, with this effect, you can retreat to your own lair and escape pursuit! As long as player haven't visited your house before, they'd be hard pressed to find it. The rank of the house determines the difficulty of the search, which you may establish (following our guidelines to prevent abuse).[/li]
