Building Burrows

In Mausritter, the adventuring mice are encouraged to spend their pips selflessly on improvements for the whole community.

Building Burrows is created to interface with that by having the settlement flourish and grow in very specific ways as those pips are spent as well as help give a sense of the passage of time as buildings complete, age, and are repaired. The settlement will interact with other factions on the map and will occasionally need to defend itself.

It is recommended to start with a smaller location (a crossroads or hamlet) on the brink of growing. By doing so the town should grow alongside the player mice at roughly the same pace.

This started off being inspired by Chimneyhaus and its wonderful setting. The other key desire was wanting players to have a more personal attachment with the town and further influence on the world they're playing in.
