Architect Archive

I had a thought...

I know...it's very dangerous for me to think...but with Gorath down I had nothing better to do this morning.

Anyway...Master Architects don't get a lot out of being Master other than a couple mroe schematics that we rarely use, a cool title to hang above our heads and the need for more lots than any other profession out there.

What if...we got a "Strip Mine" skill at Master that would allow us to place harvesters on otherwise inaccessible slopes? I thought of this last night as I wandered around trying to find a place for some Mineral Harvesters to get more ore and all the best spots were inaccessible mountain areas. There would need to be some limits of course...maybe harvesters set on slopes of >10%take up twice the footprint of a flat ground harvester. It wouldn't affect other peoples ability to mine the same resources because we would be sliding in to slots that are totally inaccessible to them.

Just a thought...
