節點種類

Nodes exist all throughout the world and the location of said node will determine its type; but this type will be... seen at the first stage of development when the first stage when a node propagates real-time assets in the world; is basically these NPCs, these merchants that come into an area and they offer services and/or you know of stores or whatever the deal may be. You will see the flavor of the node from those merchants. So if it's a military node you'll see military people. If it's... an economic node you'll see merchants. If it's a scientific one you'll see scholars; and if it's a divine one you'll see priests and clerics. So players will have a very firm understanding of which node is which type in order to know how they want to progress. – Steven Sharif

據點會被分配為四種據點種類的其中一種，不同種類的據點都會有其獨特的專業。

• 玩家能夠在據點發展成第一階段(Expedition)時，透過辨別據點內的NPC從而識別該據點的種類。

據點種類.	獨有專業	NPCs.
神聖據點	信仰和技能/裝備強化	牧師
經濟據點	交易和商貿	商人
軍事據點	戰鬥和職業訓練	守衛
科技據點	工匠和建築	學者

Ashes of Creation allows you, the player, to decide the fate of the world around you. With each Node Type, you can change the flow of resources and goods in the world. Will you grow the largest Economic Metropolis and help guide the riches of Verra, or will you choose another path unlocking new stories filled with allies and enemies?

所有伺服的據點種類都是預先預設的。

• 據點的種類是固定的，並不會隨着據點發展或摧毀而有所改變。

For example, if a level 4 Scientific Node is destroyed, it will become a Level 0 Scientific Node. It will never be any other Node Type other than a Scientific Node. The location of these Types relates to the influences of the area around the Node. – Margaret Krohn

節點種類會影響每個發展階段中的各種服務和系統。

• 節點政府
• 敘事
• NPC
• 節點建築及設施

經濟節點優勢

經濟節點發展成大都會時，將解鎖超能力: 經濟鏈結，能與其他擁有此超能力的經濟節點分享拍賣場的買賣情況。

• 超能力最多可以鏈結兩個經濟大都會。
• 經濟大都會鏈接後，玩家便有可能可以統一維拉各個拍賣場的買賣價格。
• 透過鏈結經濟，玩家可以競標對方拍賣場的物品。
• 經濟鏈結也可以用於將節點與其附庸經濟節點鏈接。

Economic Nodes that have reached the Metropolis Stage unlock the Superpower “Linked Economy”. Any Economic Node with this Superpower unlocked shares Auction House listings with all the others, meaning that the items listed in one Linked Economy Node can be bid on from any other Linked Economy Node. Linked Economies also connect a Metropolis and any Vassal Economic Nodes belonging to that Metropolis.

The Linked Economy Superpower has the potential to create a massive market that spans the world. This will allow players to attain and sell goods with ease, providing those who have access to these Economic Nodes a faster path to fortune in the lands of Ashes of Creation.

軍事節點優勢

軍事節點可解鎖賞金獵人，以及減少腐化持續時間。

科技節點優勢

科技節點發展成大都會時，將解鎖超能力: 傳送。

• 公民可以在各科技大都會及其附庸節點之間傳送。無論附庸節點處於哪個階段，只要未處於戰爭狀態，就可以進行傳送。

• 附庸節點的公民可以來回傳送到其大都會節點。

• 若存在多個科技大都會，只要未處於戰爭狀態，飛空艇將為各科技大都會及其附庸節點的公民提供快速移動服務，來回這些大都會。

This will allow Citizens and Vassals of Scientific Metropolises to do things more quickly than others, as fast travel is limited in the world of Ashes of Creation. They’ll be able to exchange goods and information with ease and get to locations in the world at a quicker speed in order to gather crafting materials to create recipes, as well as participate in limited-time events.

節點選舉

Alpha-1 node election user interface.

Once a node has reached 村莊 stage there will be a one week cooldown period before node elections begin.

• This cooldown period allows players to establish citizenship at the village; which may require them to relinquish previous citizenship at another node.
• Following the initial cooldown, there will be a one week election process, then from that point on, elections will follow a monthly cadence.
• 節點戰 may not be declared for 21 days following a node advancing to any stage.
  • This was previously stated to apply only to nodes advancing to

The village stage is a unique stage because that's when the government system comes online and all other stages past village there will have already been a cadence for the election system and it will follow that cadence, but after the initial village stage is completed there will be a one week period where players have an opportunity to establish citizenship at the village that also provides for the cooldown time that is- that would be present on players leaving another node to kind of participate in in this particular node leveling up. But that after that one week period then there will be a one-week election process and then from that point moving forward will be the one month cadence that the node experiences elections on. – Steven Sharif

節點選舉 occur on a monthly basis.

• Election notices will be mailed to the accounts of citizens.
• Only citizens of a node may participate in its elections.
• Only node citizens may be elected mayor.
  • Only one citizenship may be declared per account, per server.
• A king or queen can also become a mayor.

Node governments and mayors are chosen through different methods according to the node's type.

• Divine node governments are chosen from citizens via service oriented quests that prove faith and dedication to the node.
  • Most of the devotion-oriented tasks are going to be on an individual basis and won't utilize outside support.
• Economic node governments are able to be bought and sold by citizens with the most money.
  • The developers are in favor of a public accounting of campaign funds and contributions for mayoral candidates.
• 市長 of military nodes are chosen from citizens through last man standing (gladiatorial arena style) combat.
  • An idea currently under consideration is to have players build out a champion that they can then fight in the arena, rather then using their regular characters. These champions can be equipped with gear and skills via quests, along with materials and gold to make the champion stronger.
  • The reason for the champion idea is because the game isn't balanced for 1v1 PvP. Utilizing champions makes arena combat more of a level playing ground.
  • Arena style combat is instanced but spectators may be possible through an interface.
  • The winner of the combat can not transfer the mayoralty to another player.
• Scientific node governments are elected democratically. Records of who voted for who are not published.
