FAQ - Updated! Jan 23
Here's some of the questions I see on a daily basis...

Quote:
I'd like to have a beta account.
I get many of these day, requests for beta access will always be ignored, sorry.

Quote:
I'm a member of the press and would like beta access.
In that case you can contact me and provide as many details as possible; if possible I'll kick it up the chain to be decided further up.

Quote:
How do I get a usergroup on the forums for my clan?
Once every month or two I will make a post in the Clan Discussion forum that has directions on registering your clan, we typically take 50-100 clans per registration.

Quote:
I hate the moderators.
That's ok, I do too. But they're nice people! If you have a moderation or policy issue please take it up with me via PM and provide as many details and links as possible.

Quote:
A detail in my beta sign up is wrong.
As long as you got your email right don't get too worked up about it.

Quote:
I'm banned and want it lifted.
Don't be a jerk and I'll work with you, provide lots of details.

Quote:
I'd like to know X details about the game.
Your best bet is to post in the newbie forum asking your question. I can't provide y ou with anything not available in the game FAQ or media.

Updated material on Jan 23rd...

Quote:
What happened on the 22nd?
Lots of invites were sent out, lots and lots.

Quote:
Can anyone play? Is it open beta?
No.

Quote:
How do I play?
Sign up for beta, more details will come soon.

Quote:
Does the NDA still apply?
Yes.

Quote:
My clan leader sucks, we didn't get invites.
I'm sorry.

About city building:



Also from Betaleaks:
Quote
2000g For Clan

1000g Buy Clan Shard and councilor in racial capital.

Run to city grid. Double click shard in your bag while within the city limits(as seen in your system info window)

5000g Purchase Construction Skill

Grants Two Recipes:

Building Module
250g
50 stone
20 wood

Repair Shard
100g
5 stone
2 quartz

The lowest tier structures require 10 modules, these include the Clan Bank, Clan Workbench and Clan General Store.

That means you need 2500g, 500 stone and 200 wood (2 wood = 5 timber so 500 timber).

BUT if the devs have not changed it, the base success rate on construction skill is 60% Which means you're going to need a lot wood/stone than the minimum to make a building. Why only wood and stone? because each failure only destroys part of your wood/stone, it does not affect your gold stock pile.

Keep in mind also that the building modules weigh 100 units. Being encumbered slows your mount's speed to a walk as well.

Btw, Welcome to Grindfall!

Once the resources are acquired, gold farm, and sufficient explicitives have been said over the ridiculous failure rate get the modules to your city.

Go up to the clan stone with the modules in your bag and hit "G"

Select Build City

This opens the building menu, with various types of buildings. Once you build one building it will unlock more options. Select a building, and the camera will move to where that building would be created.

NOTE: To be 1000% clear, you don't layout your cities in anyway. The locations of every building is preselected. No one should ask another Q about this!

For your first building select clan bank, hit build and viola! Clan Bank.

Besides build there is also the option to "upgrade", farming with the handful of us we never got to the point where we needed upgrade anything.

Buildings:
Clan Bank
Clan Workbench (allows construction in the city and creation of ships and warhulks)
Clan General Store (spawns a merchant NPC in your city. He puts a dot on ppl's mini-maps and offers nothing extra. Clans have no control over his prices or profits)
Houses (I saw three varieties, presumably increases your population cap)
Clan Keep (never built one)
Oven (likely same as in NPC town, unlocked via General Store)

The tool tips used to be programmer jibberish so I can't tell you how many modules they take. I see in the latest notes they finally addressed the bug reports on it though.

I've probably skipped a point or two, but thats the general gist of it.

This is with a little over 6 people.

3days to get 2 buildings up.
3 days for about 8 hours a day.

Not too bad.
