Make Castles Cool Again

Post by Wil »

A modest proposal to make castles cool again:

For two slot castles, Increase:
Storage to 6038
Lockdowns to 3018
Vendors to 104

That's it.

Background: Houses used to all cost a single house slot. If you were fortunate enough to find a spot large enough for a castle you got 4688 storage, 2344 lockdowns and 78 vendors. The next best was the keep at 3019 storage, 1509 lockdowns and 52 vendors.

Around the time the Maral facet opened, +Colibri rebalanced housing by making new castles require two house slots instead of one. This made them suck rocks: 2344 storage, 1172 lockdowns and 39 vendors per house slot. Not only is that a lot less than a keep, it's not even as much as an 15x15 (2437 storage)!

Increasing the 2-slot castle stats as proposed would make castles equivalent to keeps on a per-house slot basis. This would allow folks to choose between castles and keeps based on style alone instead of taking a big loss on a castle.
