Salt the Earth

[k1ngofpentacles]

Just thought of a pvp mechanic that might be interesting for faction based servers: adding the ability to ruin farmland by adding an amount of salt to it. Could make salt trade have a sort of power economy between factions. Thoughts?

That makes griefing way too easy.

 

Salting the earth was also more of a ritualistic curse than actual practice.

 

Salt was valuable and expensive.

the amount needed to ruin farmland would be enough to break a warchest

I mean, you could make it like that. Like 3 salt on a block reduces its fertility to the next level. So it would take 12 salt to turn 1 block of Tera Preta into barren soil. Still functional as warfare, but definitely requires a solid source of halite to do any real damage
