A new update was announced for the sandbox MMORPG, Mortal Online, in regards to their Territory Control system. The revamped system will allow players and guilds to lay claim to any land within the game by constructing a keep on it. The guild can then expand their territory by expanding outward and construction ‘Control Structures’ which can also be upgraded into archer towers and other defensive structures.
Guilds will be able flag individual players so they cannot enter their lands, control taxation and even the take-over of some towns within their area territories. A political mini-map will be available within the keeps so guilds can get a better view of their lands make strategic moves to attack or defend their lands. A second map will be available on the Mortal Online website that, in real-time, will display what territories are controlled and by whom so guilds can further decide who and where to attack.
This is an unbelievable idea, too bad the website map won’t be available in-game, which I don’t really see the purpose of not also including it within the keep. Anyway, great idea otherwise. Check out the Territory Control trailer after the jump.
