What would I need to startup my own camp?
All I want is a camp just north of Somerset that I could scout towards to get the easy NFL map.
It doesn't need to build anything.
it just has to be there as a destination.

It’s needs to be a neutral tile, or you need permission from the camp owner who controls the hex to build there. Best time to build would be end of year when camp war tile decay occurs, opening up a lot of neutral tiles.

Costs are listed on the top topic here in the forums.

Camps are a lot of work to build and maintain. You sure you just don’t want to join one ?

You may find one for sale already built also. Maybe post in marketplace ?

I might consider selling my BL small one if your interested.

Good luck!

you need a substantial number of skilled mechs to run a camp successfully, the playerbase is fairly small these days so starting your own is a pretty difficult task. However joining an established camp with veteran owners can give far more rewards for a much smaller cost and youll still have gangers available in town to play with :)

I suggest joining 'The Kingdom Of Longo' If you help in leagues, and get lots of resources to camp- you'll get more rewarded than starting on your own- and you'll have some of the best players in the game on your side!

You're not garantued to get the farmlands as a scout map if that's all you want from it. Best bet is to ask around and see who has it as their scouting map and join their camp. I'm sure they wont mind the extra fame.

Lemme just put it to you this way.
In the scenario you have described-

Ease of scouting < amount of $ and TIME you will spend to buy and maintain a camp.

Lots of vets DON'T own camps.
There is a reason for this.

I would suggest joining one in the SS area, and donating resources to it.
It will give you the same chances of pulling NFL as owning a camp in the same area, but with FAR less of an investment of time and $.

Hi Aton,

If you want to join 'The Lair' that will give you NFL when scout towards it from Somerset.

We're a small non-PVP camp that's only 74 miles from Somerset, any mechs you want to house in camp are always welcome :-D

Cheers

JuJu

F*** the Lair. Join The Kingdom Of Longo, and I will give you 2 buzzers and fit them out with whatever you want- just for helping out in CoE and League races. Start donating CPs and EPs to camp- and you will find Longo, Joel, and myself (I am a very junior partner!),  to be very generous players to be on side. (It's also VERY much better to be with The Kingdom than against it- which everyone else is!)

It’s sad to see one of the people I GAVE a camp to for free being so negative towards his former compatriots.  But if KOL is giving away 2 free kitted out Buzzers, that’s hard to beat.

However please note that I used to race in support of the Kingdom until the kingdom Murdered 2 of my drivers and ruined most of my remaining racing engines, and cost me $660,000 in vehicular repairs.  (A armor costs a lot!). So don’t take all those words to be accurate!

Anyway.  The LAIR will always have you and they consider themselves an Ally of the Kingdom.  But if they are gonna give you 2 buzzers, jump on that deal!

You never raced for the Kingdom. This statement is stamped with the King's official seal.

Also, over the years, I have given away 3 camps. Those people dont owe me anything...

I raced IN SUPPORT OF the Kingdom.

As I said before I have 2 Goals in CoE:  Prevent fame going to the Embassy by whatever strategy works best (ie: getting people I call my Friends like Joel and Brun into top spots to hold Embassy low, and secondly to make money.  I don't need the fame.  I race hard to the finish, then wait for Joel or Brun if I need to.  I don't wait on people who bring unnecessary and questionably race worthy vehicles like Trash Trucks or Fire Engines because they get so far behind...  especially when that players is not in contention for spots 1 through 3.  and double especially when those people blast others who are no threat to their standings and blame it on not knowing the other's intent even after that person told them.

If the intent is to cause a DNF I would drop 10 spikes, not just 1.

There is a reason why The Kingdom does so well in leagues. And there is a reason you do so badly. Refer to the last part of your previous comment.

I do okay. I almost got top spot one season. But an ally backstabbed me in the last race, then he failed to accomplish the task we had been trying to accomplish all season and set us both back.

which is why I get upset when people put themselves before tactics, or their personal gain before strategic victory.

maybe I'm just too much of a team player, idk.

My F*** the Lair comment was kind of tongue in cheek.
It definately wasn't a personal thing against ANYONE- least of all you Crispin.

I know you love me!  I didnt take it too personal.  Not enough to ram you harder than I normally would!  lol

without my brother around to crash into I have to pick the next best thing!  I been trying to get him to come back but so far he has only said hello in a marshal forum and not on a track!
