Template:Freehold auctions

A node's freehold estates (parcels of land) become available to be bid for at auction on a regular cadence.

Bidding on an Estate is done through an auction system. Nodes have a limited number of Freehold Deeds available based on that node’s level. A player may only bid on an Estate if they own an unplaced Freehold Deed. Once you have successfully acquired your Estate, the next step is choosing a location within that Estate to lay down your Freehold Deed’s footprint.

• Some estates will require node-type-specific bound currencies, others will auction for gold.
  • This is intended to cater to players with different playstyles, who are progressing through alternate systems.
  • Node-type-specific currencies will be tested during אלפא-2.

The most common denominator of availability for freeholds through the auction is going to be through gold. However, there will be a sub select of freehold options that are available in each node, based on the node type, that will correspond to one of those bound currencies in addition to gold. So what we do there is we spread out the availability of freeholds to different playstyles and different focuses so the player that might rush to level 50- they might have an advantage when bidding on gold-based freeholds, but they may not have the advantage of the Favor player or the Honor player, who is going to be progressing within those playstyles. – Steven Sharif

• The cadence of freehold auctions is system-driven and can't be affected by mayors or other players.
  • Estates will also be recycled as a result of node sieges and atrophy.

The intent of the auction system is to provide players a non-land rush type system. Auctions will be held for each parcel that allows families to pool together their resources to acquire a deed, and gives some prep time to individuals to prepare their resources to bid as well. – Steven Sharif
