For fun i have made up 3 ideas for new war npcs and such,
IDEA (1)
Before you instantly say "Hell No" i just like to say.
Graal 3D is set around same time period as Gk with it's swords and bomys roaming and so on,
Why not have what they have... 1 seater Wooden Planes.
(Abilities) Can Attack players and ships, If you have arrows out, it fires them straight ahead, if your low enough it can hit players but does not damage ships, however if you put away arrows and equip cannonballs your plane drops them and they explode on contact with the water and land, this damages ships but does not hurt players.
The reason for arrows is mainly for air to air combat, they are fast and dogfighting will be availible, of course you have to MAINTAIN YOUR PLANE to keep it in service, to do so drag and drop coal onto it, You have a fuel gauge and if it runs out of fuel your plane cannot fly, and you have to drive it home, very slowly.
PLANES CAN BE STORED IN HOUSES
Also planes are Stealable so its a good idea to have a house
(Info)
These aviatious vehicles are quite a job to make, since it requires nails and wood not many players can be bothered to gather those,
Which makes ferry and ships still popular.
however they are great for battling ships but be careful, 1 or 2 successful cannonball hits destroy your plane, Planes recover hp over time very slowly, so it is best to make a specific house to store more planes so you always have a plane ready for battle.
IDEA (2)
This is simple, make an exit cargo hold button in ships, there you can get your planes and zepplins out of the ship, and use your ship as a type of aircraft carrier, of course you have to be on a light blue area of water, this is great for surprise attacks, Also it would be really fun having a ship full of friends and you help them take off into the heat of battle.
IDEA (3) Fire / ice /poison/arrows.
These arrows are really powerful and can even hurt ever so slightly,
But their main existence is for increased damage for attacking monsters and have various other effects as their name intails,
BUT!!! when flying a plane you can replace your normal arrows for fire/ice/poison arrows for increased damage!
they made in normal wood crafting shops like all other arrows,
Ingredients needed:
15 Ice Arrows: 15 wooden arrows +Large Mana Crystal + 1sapphire
15 Fire Arrows: 15 wooden arrows +Large Mana Crystal + 1 ruby
15 poison arrows: 15 woden arrows +Large Mana Crystal + 1 Emerald
With these things everyone can get involved in wars,
people can help destroy planes,
Planes can help sink ships or poison the swordsmen to help the more experienced swordsmen,
Players can scout around flying to keep on the lookout for intruders on their island
And have vehicles they must maintain.
Imagine what events you could host with planes involved??
Imagine the battles you could remake?
haha you could remake pearl harbour if you wished,
