Introducing Settlements (07/19/2011)

[Sorel]

I noticed a difference in terminology in regards to beastmen.

Beastmen "settlements" will be in the 1.18 patch.

Beastmen "strongholds" will be in the 1.19 patch.


I wonder what the difference is ...

EDIT: Did the Development Team ever announce what they were planning on doing with the existing hamlets?

I'm pretty sure strongholds means it will be where the beastmen live/prepare for battle as in XI's strongholds such as davoi/castle o/beaudex(think that's the right area or w/e lol).

Settlements: Think campfire with 4 Beastmen of same race but different types. (Likely to link each other)

We've already seen a beastman settlement in a picture (the kobold one), basically just a few huts and things not unlike our own ones. I imagine strongholds will be the central hub for those particular beastmen, like the strongholds of FFXI.

Also, we haven't heard what the plan is with the existing hamlets, but I wouldn't be surprised if we got some defence orders from the grand companies involving them.
