Mining Company? Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
What would you guys say to some quest to help setup a mining camp in the middle of no where. The camp is very close to a mine fulled to the roof and ground with diamonds. Quests could be getting supplies/hiring miners/guards Escorting payments building more buildings anything else?

Simple but yet cool and interesting idea. Good job! I like it.

really the whole thing could be done in one quest, not quest and escorting payments would get boring it would be better to have a few things stopping the mine from being built that need to be delt with, such as a monster has attacked or something.

it would have to be only a small mine, with prehaps only one exterior building with most of the workers Sleeping in quarters in the mine to not be like raven rock.

Granite hall should be a mining town. German towns with the word hall or salz in them were salt mining towns.

A salt mine... why didn't I think of that! :D

Granite Hall sounds good.

Nords would probably get salt from the sea instead from rocks... there is plenty of sea water out there. The mine should probably be a granite mine as the name suggest (even though granite is not really mined in the same way as diamonds/iron would). The layout sounds fine.

The town should still be involved with the quest, but the Mine in question should be seperate from the Town. Prehaps the Town has many mines around it and a new one is to be set up?

That sounds best. There should be one at the center of town, that has the scale of the ints doubled, to simulate it being a really old mine, and having been carved really large. Like it was the town's original mine. Maybe the Chieftain could live in an ornately carved chamber deep inside the mine. There are some mines in Europe with elaborate carved living space chambers.

that's going offtopic and isn't rellevant to the conversation.

Yeah sure. We'll need some granite rocks made, re-textures will probably do the job.

Those are usually salt mines, but I like the idea.
