Yes I came up with the idea, and yes I intended to help out, however I made it pretty clear (at least in our staff conversations about it if I didn't mention it in this post) that whilst I can LAT if it comes to making stores/ buildings, I don't have any experience making base layouts that have a good flow. As this idea is fairly important with regards to end game basing, I never intended to be the one left to do all the levelling for it as it has to be a near perfect base.

I had asked for help/ expressed the idea of how I wanted the fortress to more or less look/ playout however I didn't really have anyone offer out to work on it (Besides Junz who offered to help in the interior decorating) that had enough LAT experience that you could be confident in them making a well designed/ flowing gang base.

So basically, i'm still willing to assist in it, but ultimately i'm not a gang admin/ LAT and I don't have the time or basing experience to be the sole person designing the layout of this base. I'd intended to be more or the decorator, helping out with the theme/ interiors once the base layouts were done by a LAT, and help out with any ideas.


Like Tasim said, considering how much staff discussion went into this idea and whether everyone was on board, I had kind of assumed that I was going to have a lot of people helping me out on it but that didn't turn out to be the case unfortunately as after about a month nobody else on the staff team really brought up the gang fortress despite the fact that I had pushed pretty hard on the point that basing was a key fundamental to Era and it needed to be looked into more than anything else in the game.
I’m glad you still brought up the concept of the fortress though. It is really nice hearing that you care about the competitive environment in Era. Maybe you could just draft up some sort of base idea and we as a community with the base experience can slowly come up with suggestions on how to improve it? It would be good to have something down on paper and have some progress on it. Plus, this doesn’t have to be perfect the first time around, there’s always beta testing phases we could go through until a finished product is ready.
