Introduction
The process of Domain & Settlement Selection (a.k.a. 'DSS') is the second major community decision making process that enables the community to determine the fate of their gameplay world (s) by selecting the domains and settlements their main player character will rule. This follows the processes of Map Voting and Server Selection .
Process
Ref.: Domain and settlement selection will be ordered by title and total influence.
Maps of Elyria
For Domain Selection, the maps of Elyria, generated for the four servers, are rendered in more detail. This allows for the nobles and aristocrats to get a better view on the geography and location and size of settlements in the domains they intend to claim.
Selection Process
The event is planned to start in April. Everyone will be able to see the server maps the entire time. First, the kings and queens can pick their kingdoms. It will then roll down through duke, count and mayor/baron.
Luna - North American East (NA-E)
The following information is based on what I could acquire from "Adam" (the leader of the Kingdom of Vornair), the only double kingdom of the Luna server. Of all the servers, this one seemed the most open and organized of all the kingdoms.
Selene - Europe (EU)
The following information is based on a discussion with Dragor, King of Nirath. Selene has organized meetings with a set number of representatives for each kingdom to discuss major events and then each kingdom has time to have their citizens vote on it. Compromises have been made.
Angelica - North American West (NA-W)
The following information is based on a talk with Azeron, King of Valyria. I will note I believe this server may have the most interesting outcome at the kingdom level because it doesn’t have a full agreement by all at this time. Influence for order of selection could mean a lot here.
Oceanus - Oceanic (OCE)
The following information is based on a talk with Katlynna, Queen of Tylsia. Oceanus is a smaller community and has less land mass to claim. It’s starting continent is an archipelago, which will lead to a far different dynamic for trade and information across some of the kingdom borders due to the need of ships to do so.
My Speculations
The above were based on the information I received from the named monarch and I tried to keep things to the facts to be as diplomatic as possible since I did not get to talk to all of the monarchs.
Conclusion
I love how Soulbound Studios is not only making a dynamic world, but allowing the players to mold how it will look. D&SS definitely feels like the setting of the Risk board as Caspian stated. However, this is only the beginning. There will be the ability to claim open spots even after D&SS is done.
