prestige classes

Lord

The Lord offers guild management bonuses and extras. In general, they provide a discount and savings in how much it costs a guild to build and maintain a city. In turn, this reduces the overhead associated with player cities and improves the efficiency of the the guild’s resource collecting.

  • Has exclusive placement rights in regard to the main Keep.
  • Can build Guard Towers that automatically defend against enemy attacks.
  • Each Lord in a guild increases the resource extraction of gold nuggets for all guild members – up to a max of 30 Lords.
  • Each Lord in a guild increases the experience point bonus for all guild members – up to a max of 20 Lords.
  • Has access to the Architect and Alchemy crafting skills.

Commander

The Commander is the military brain of the guild. In practical terms, their usefulness is that they allow larger team sizes (up to ten people from the standard six) as well as improved formation bonuses and morale abilities on the battlefield.

  • Adds one additional maximum member to a team, up to a total of 10 (with 4 commanders).
  • Can build Barracks for the Village or Keep that will spawn soldiers to protect the village on attack.
  • Each Commander in a guild increases the resource extraction of iron ore for all guild members – up to a max of 30 Commanders.
  • Can draw up special “Tactical Plans” to enable Commander only formations. Massive battle formations, such as large mounted formations or the special Raid Attack resistant formations, are available only to the Commander.
  • Has access to the Weaponsmith crafting skill.

Crafter

Crafters are those making essential items and equipment needed for the guild to succeed in extended battles and harsh conditions. Supplying everything from siege engines to weapons, the Ccrafter will be the person keeping their friends and customers supplied with goods.

Crafting has its own tiered progression system with 20 ‘levels’ but it is not experience based. Each level will be attained through a quest. Items also come in five tiers of quality, with the highest tiers reserved for crafters with strong and resourceful guilds.

Players will be able craft outside of a guild, although they will restricted from the higher-level tiers unless they have access to their own guild crafting facilities.

  • Can build crafting premises, smithies, and other tradeskill facilities in the guild villages.
  • Each Crafter in a guild increases the resource extraction of wood for all guild members – up to a max of 30 of Crafters.
  • Has access to all forms of crafting.

Master

The Master receives a loyal follower who stands by their side and helps them. Whilst the their follower can fight, that is not their specialty and shouldn’t be relied on when the going gets tough. The follower’s true role is in the domain of collecting resources, as they can be set to collect resources for the guild when their master is offline.

  • Can have one “follower”. Being in a guild gives you access to more powerful followers.
  • Can build Stables which upgrade the quality of mounts.
  • Each Master in a guild will increase the resource extraction of stone for all guild members – up to a max of 30 Masters.
  • Has access to the Armorsmith crafting skill.
