A lot of players have expressed interest in having cities/other communities instead of just spawn and the mesa group. On previous SMPs we've had something very similar and it helped forge the community by making players communicate more and cooperate on things. I think we should try it here!
So my plan is to have settlements! A settlement is (unsurprisingly) a community being established in an area that was previously uninhabited. For this idea I suggest that a settlement can only be created with at least 2 members. We will have a list of all the settlements on the map with information for all of them. Each settlement can have their own banner/flag and their own name colour.
One of the key points about doing settlements is for cooperation. Settlements should be able to trade with each other, perhaps even have wars (if consented by both groups). I was also thinking of creating a list of goals for each settlement to accomplish, therefore creating more teamwork and communication for players; for example some goals could include: creating a stable, forming a road system, having a number of different farms (automated or not), building a large statue, building a central build such as a hall or a church...stuff like that.
This is just a quick suggestion. If people are interested in this I will create a more official post with all the information, any ideas please tell me! Also if the majority do want to try this on the current map then I think that it'd be best to have random players have to form a settlement together, that way players can cooperate with people they don't normally talk to.
Thoughts?

If at first you don't succeed, give up.
