Objective

This release introduces the Fire Engine, prerequisite for the Raid Release. Currently it is not possible to ignite fire to a building but an event will be organised soon to test the mechanics.

Fire Engine

When a fire is set to a building, an event will be posted on the Town Crier and on the social platform Twitter (given the importance of the fire event, we recommend following the account @ChroniclesAges and enabling notifications).

"A University in Amsterdam is ablaze! Head to the scene immediately!

The structure owner will be alerted also via email:

Your building Small Warehouse #2717, located in Amsterdam is on fire!

When a building is on fire, the initial burned percentage is 10% and every 5 minutes the percentage burned is increased by a factor x (initially 0%), that increases by 0.000625% every 5 minutes. The building consumption is equal to the burned percentage.

A burning building can spread the fire to other buildings (those connected to the node) with a percentage linked to the building percentage on fire (evaluated every 5 minutes).

A private structure will be destroyed when it reaches condition 0%, while a public structure may go at max to 1% even if it is still on fire.

Horses, mules, wells, war structures (camps and battlefields) cannot be set on fire. The horse+cart, and ships however can catch fire and if on fire, they cannot be moved.

Extinguishing a fire

If a structure is on fire, a link Extinguish will appear. The player, if in possession of a bucket full of water, by clicking it will decrease the percentage of the building on fire by 2%. The fire will be extinguished if the percentage reaches 0%.

Note: There is a chance related to the percentage of the building on fire, that the character will burn with a damage of 2 HP while he/she is trying to extinguish the fire.

Energy required: 2, glut: 0, hydration: 0.

Consumption of a wooden bucket: based on dexterity.

A personal statistic of how many extinguish actions a player will be saved and shown on the character's profile. Also, a personal statistic for the restored repair points will be saved on the character's profile.

Filling a wooden bucket with water

It is possible to fill a wooden bucket with water at the well by clicking on the 'Collect Water' link.

Energy required: 2, glut: 0.04, hydration: 0.04

Wooden bucket consumption: 0%
