Town Growth & Bonus Claims

Liora encourages towns to grow through building, infrastructure, and development.

The Points of Interest (POI) System rewards towns that invest time into creating meaningful structures and expanding their settlements.

Instead of relying entirely on recruiting new residents, towns may earn additional land claims by developing their territory.

This system encourages:

Cities instead of small bases
Infrastructure and landmarks
Regional identity
Large-scale construction
Long-term investment in towns

What Are Points of Interest?

Points of Interest (POIs) are notable structures or districts built within a town.

These locations represent meaningful development and may be recognized by staff as important landmarks.

Examples include:

Large town centers
Ports or harbors
Markets or trade districts
Government buildings
Infrastructure hubs
Unique landmarks

Approved POIs may receive:

Additional Towny land claims
Dynmap markers
Development recognition

How to Apply

Players may submit a request for POI recognition through the official Discord.

Application Process

1. Create a ticket in the Discord. 2. Provide coordinates of the structure. 3. Provide screenshots or description of the build. 4. Explain the purpose of the structure.

Staff will review the submission and determine whether it qualifies.

If approved, the POI may be added to the Dynmap and bonus claim power may be granted.

Development Tiers

POIs are divided into development tiers based on scale and complexity.

Larger and more significant builds may grant greater rewards.

Tier 1 – Landmark

Small but notable structures.

Examples:

Unique statues
Small monuments
Decorative landmarks
Local gathering spots

Possible Rewards

Small bonus claim expansion

Tier 2 – District

Developed areas serving a specific purpose.

Examples:

Markets
Residential neighborhoods
Industrial areas
Farmland districts
Military outposts

Possible Rewards

Tier 3 – City Infrastructure

Examples:

Transportation hubs
Large plazas or city centers

Possible Rewards

Tier 4 – Major City Landmark

Large or iconic structures representing major development.

Examples:

Major economic centers
Regional capitals
Unique mega-builds

Possible Rewards

Major claim bonuses
Special Dynmap marker
Possible additional benefits

Upgrading Existing POIs

Towns may upgrade existing Points of Interest.

If a structure grows or expands significantly, players may submit another ticket requesting reevaluation.

For example:

A small port becoming a major harbor
A market expanding into a trade district
A town center evolving into a city capital

Upgraded POIs may qualify for higher tiers and additional rewards.

Additional Development Bonuses

In some cases, reaching certain development thresholds may unlock additional benefits.

Examples may include:

Additional Towny resources
Special infrastructure permissions
Nation expansion options
Strategic bonuses

These rewards may evolve as the server grows.

Map Recognition

Approved Points of Interest may be marked on the Dynmap.

This allows players to:

Discover important locations
Identify regional landmarks
Navigate major towns and cities

POI markers help build the history and identity of the world.

Staff Discretion

Final decisions regarding POI approval, tier classification, and rewards are determined by staff.

Factors considered may include:

Build quality
Scale of development
Uniqueness
Contribution to the server world

This system is intended to reward meaningful development rather than small or temporary builds.

Great cities are not built overnight.

They are built by players who choose to invest in the world.
