Towns

Town.png

Towns play a central role in The West. Here you can bind with other players and build up a strong, powerful town. Every building you work on gives advantages to you and the other players. You can not join more than one town at a time. To stitch to another town you have to leave your old town first.

Town Buildings

With the help of the other members of your town you can construct several different buildings in your town. Just like any other job the construction of buildings needs labor points. Every level needs an additional 15 labor points. Motivation also exists for construction. A lower motivation means less construction points will be added to the building. The construction motivation is individual for each player, not for the town.

Every building needs a set number of construction points. The higher the level of the building, the more points are needed. Constructing builds is slow. You make very little progress in an hour work. You can see the progress from the yellow progress meter in your town hall. Every town member can help on the buildings as long as enough labor points are available.

Town Hall

The town hall is something of the gathering place for the town members. New construction projects are started here and new players are invited.

With each construction level of the town hall the other buildings can be constructed a bit easier. The difficulty is lowered by five points per level of the town hall. The maximum construction level of the town hall is 10.

Construction

Under 'construction' you can see what buildings exist in your town and how big they are. You can also select a building to work on. Any member of your town can work on any building. It takes a lot of combined work to build a big town. The construction meter shows how close the building is to reaching the next level. Once 100% are reached, the level goes up. Every building has a maximum level, in that case the construction meter turns grey.

Why selecting a building and then clicking 'Construction' you can work on the building. This works similar to other jobs. You also need labor points to be able to do the job. The more points you have, the more construction points you add.

Constructing buildings costs a lot of money. You can use your cash or money from the town treasury to pay for the construction you are doing. Every hour costs $120.

If you do not have enough labor points for the building you selected you can either work on another building or work on the town hall. With each level added in the town hall the construction difficulty for the other buildings is lowered by 5.

Town members

Here you can see all the members of the town and their current levels. In your own town you can also see how much money they are carrying around, how much money they have deposited into the town's treasury and how many hours they've worked on the buildings in town.

If you want to leave the town you can do this here as well.

Church

The church is the place for a private prayer. The consequences of praying are secret and will not be revealed by anyone. Even the support people do not know the answer. Praying always takes 15 minutes. It is not useful to pray constantly.



Sign Post

The signpost allows you to walk into a town.






Bank

You can secure your money in your bank account. Just the money in the bank is safe from being taken in a duel. Money does not have to be withdrawn to spend it, the merchant takes it directly from the bank account when you don't have enough cash. To deposit money in your bank account you have to visit your town.

With each construction level of the bank the personal bank accounts allows more money to be deposited per player.

From the bank you can also put money into the town treasury.

Saloon

The saloon has two functions. In the saloon in your own town you can receive and accept quests. In other towns the saloon is the place to challenge the players to a duel.




Tailor

The Tailor sells all kinds of clothing items. You can buy hats, shoes and body clothes. To purchase an item all you have to do is click on it and confirm the selection. Or you can drag the item into the inventory and confirm. The money is deducted and the item moves to your inventory.

You have to be in the town where the merchant is located. You can use the sign post to go to the town.

With each new construction level the tailor offers new clothes. The new items are almost always better than the old ones. Which items are offered in a town is random. Every town has different items for sale. And not every level gives new items for each kind. The maximum construction level of the tailor is 10.

There are two advantages in building up your own shops. The stores only sell all of their items to members of their town. If you go to another town the salesman only offers the items that the store already had 2 construction levels below. (Level one items are always available). The store also charges prices four times the market value.
