Town-In-A-Box

Last wiki revision 2022-06-04

The Town-In-A-Box is a device that deploys a town wherever it is desired. It was invented by Hobart Grapplehammer, a goblin genius behind many products for the Kajaro Trading Company.

There are different types of Town-In-A-Box such as:

  • Town-In-A-Box - Deploys a town that can contain some houses, a poultryizer (for food), a forge, an anvil, a mailbox, a KTC Train-a-Tron Deluxe, a goblin barbecue, a "micro" mechachicken (also for food), and seemingly a generator for power, along with a control panel in the center of town. It can also contain docks and an oil refinery.
  • City-In-A-Box - The same as a Town-In-A-Box but in a larger scale and with more buildings.
  • Airbase-In-A-Box - Deploys an airbase. It is advised not to deploy them on mountain peaks.
  • Lab-In-A-Box - Deploys a lab.
  • Town-In-A-Box, in the Lost Isles
  • Bilgewater Harbor, in Azshara
  • Krazzworks, in the Twilight Highlands
  • Tentative Outpost/Base in a Box, Windshorn Hills
  • It seems that goblins can hide inside the boxes as Hobart Grapplehammer and Assistant Greely were inside of the town that was deployed in the Lost Isles.
  • It is interesting to note that the boxes containing the town shake like there wasn't enough room for the town before it opens.
  • The concept of the Town-In-A-Box might have been inspired by the Tiny Great Hall, Tiny Castle and Tiny Barracks of Warcraft III.
  • Goblin technology allowing to put a whole town in a little box might be a reference to the Fallout franchise, especially to the Garden of Eden Creation Kit.
  • Town-In-A-Box Lid Fragment
  • Keelhaul-In-A-Box
  • Adventurer-In-A-Box
