Building/Binoculars Improvement
Suggestion scope
Gatehouses of Forts
Suggestion description
This is a short and to-the-point suggestion.

Gatehouses should be considered 'tall buildings' only for the purposes of using Binoculars - not for suiciding. The binocular vantage point would be built for viewing but would be covered and the view windows would be too small to jump out.. It makes sense to assume that a fort would have an area to use as a lookout point, and the Gatehouse is the most appropriate place for this, since it is the bottleneck for the entire fort.

Benefits:

• Gives Fort Dwellers an idea of the zombie numbers in the extended surrounding suburb squares of the fort.
• Logical - Forts should have a lookout area - lets them know if a huge invasion force is coming to give time to prepare for a siege (or to run).
• Gives binoculars more application in a situation where it might actually be useful (other than NT buildings).
• Gives survivors an in-game way of telling numbers in the surrounding area without having to rely on metagaming.

Detriments

• People might ask why it hasn't been able to be used this way until now, roleplay-wise (My answer would be that survivors have managed to since build butresses and perches, or maybe a makeshift lookout point/view window for lookouts from which to use their binoculars).

   • Re - - No. I wrote that in the suggestion in bold, along with a roleplaying reason why they can't be used for suicides. --Tselita 01:17, 21 May 2008 (BST)
