Mansions

[FlimFlamm 509]

 

Currently Chernarus has been given a very full feel. No longer are there only a few sparsely populated towns; we have cities.

 

Wherever there are cities, there are rich people.

 

Wherever there are rich people, there are mansions.

 

There are simply no posh houses in DayZ; they are all tiny. What we need is 1-3 mansion house models that can be placed on the outskirts of various towns.

 

What's the big deal with mansions? You might ask...

 

Player bases....

 

Mansions make ideal player bases...

 

They have many walls, so people on the inside won't get shot up so easily through windows, including possibly a fireplace in the interior, away from windows.

 

They are typically found in secluded areas away from inner cities.

 

They can be large enough for a group of survivors to comfortably cohabitate

 

All players need to do is barricade a mansion to make a sizable base instead of building their own...

 

I would love to have more options in size between bungalow and apartment building...

Their was a map for the DayZ mod (I think it was Lingor) and on the far west side their was a little peninsula with a mansion on it. Nothing too great, but far nicer than the other houses, and we turned that little peninsula into our base. Barricaded the entire land bridge or whatever that connected it to the main island it was on besides one little opening we guarded for the most part, all that good stuff. It was lovely, and I'd gladly do it again here in the SA.

Castles aren't enough?

Never seen an eastern block mansion before. Looking forward to some photos.

All of what you're saying sounds like a different facade on existing large buildings. Rich people in what is generally accepted as a communist nation? Sure... But they're not rich in their nation. They're rich elsewhere. Like, where they can have mansions.

The Czech Republic is no longer considered a communist nation. There are currently many rich people building many rich mansions in the Czech Republic, I assure you. Unless you're trying to argue that DayZ should be set in the past I really have to strongly disagree with your notion that there are no rich people in Chaernarus because of communism. There are many mansions, new and old.

 

Before the rise of communism in Russia (a la Lennin circa 1917) there were a great deal of victorian style mansions owned by the bougeroise. Most of them got converted into multiple family dwellings, communal style, called "Kommunalkas". Their interiors are sprawling apartments (usually built from single rooms now divided that were once owned by rich people)

 

There is currently only one building that looks like it might be a kommunalka, but it is compeltely urban and the interior is hardly accessible. While I'm on the topic of eastern european building trends, more "Dachas" would be nice... Vacation homes essentially... Remote cabins and nice places where the affluent would go to escape city life...

 

My point is that I want some large buildings in practical places that can serve as player bases, like a mansion.

 

Castles are great but they are so difficult to sure up and defend. what I want are houses that seem larger than humble middle class 2-3 bedroom one level houses.

 

Here are the requested photos, these houses are all in the Czech Republic:

Here we see a fancy lady outside of her fancy house:

 

 

See how much bigger this house is than most of the houses in Chernarus? It's not a mansion but it still beats the hell out of the tiny houses we're stuck to in DayZ.

Castles are not enough, and I want variety; it's about game-play. If fly shit is thinking that everyone must live in small houses in Chernarus because 'communism', then I have happily filtered it out for you! :)

A mansion would be nice it would be a good place to loot hopefully and a good PvP area especially if its at the coast.
