Town Bell
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
About
A town bell has a base upkeep of 10 silver every 6 hours. Expanding the town bell with authority objects increases the upkeep slightly as well as increasing the capacity of the town bell. Base capacity is 750 silver.
Building Town Bell creates a town with name written in Town Charter with owner of the charter as its mayor, who can invite players into a town or kick them out. He also manages their rights to take new people, kick people from the town and manage rights of others. A mayor can renounce his position. If a town has no mayor, because he renounced or is dead, any citizen can become mayor by right-clicking the Town Bell. If a town has no influence and no mayor, then anyone can become its mayor.
All citizens have access to town chat.
Town Claim
The Town Bell creates a town claim in the shape of a square with a bell in its center. Walking on this claim is free to everyone, unlike personal claim. Other actions require citizenship. Any claim that has its claim stone covered by a town claim can be removed by spending 2 silver coins per tile it covers.
Town Mayor
from loftar's post on November 8th, 2012 http://forum.salemgame.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1701#p19826
Exactly three conditions need to be fulfilled for one to be able to become mayor of a town:
- The town currently has no mayor
- The character trying to become mayor has Compacts & Constitutions
- Either the character trying to become mayor needs to be a citizen of the town, or the town must be out of authority, or there must be no citizens at all in the town.
If you right-click the townbell without getting the option to become mayor, that means at least one of the above is not true.
Area Size
After the town bell is placed, the area of influence is 50 tiles north, east, west, south, plus 1 tile(centre location) for the bell. Giving a total length and width of 101 and a total area of 10201.
