Weston
Description: Something about Weston doesn't seem right. Perhaps it is the bloody coins he has for earings. Maybe it is the fact that he keeps looking over his shoulder every few moments at the nearest guard who has been eying him for a while now.

Sir Reynald The Grey
Description: The origin of Sir Reynald the Grey is unknown. He comes from a faraway land which he is uncomfortable discussing.

Vardinir
Description: Donning a bad accent, and cheap clothes, Vardinir would have you believe he is a Red Guard pirate.

Tarn The Strong

He did all the heavy lifting, all the difficult... persuasion, and all the training of new recruits. At some point he very stupidly insulted his captain, and was exiled to a small island.

Sir Tryzbonid
Description: "Knights" in the far north are few and far between, and not really knights. Sir Tryzbonid is a shining example of Dhalgun honor and chivalry.

Blind John
Description: It is surprising Blind John knows where you are. You would have never known he was blind if he had not have told you. Perhaps that is why his Red Guard brothers gave him the name "Blind John". He has learned so accurately to hear a foes breathing, to smell him even, to be accurate with any weapon, even ranged ones, at large distances.

Balto The Rat
Description: Balto The Rat was never important. Usually people in the Red Guard would advance after a certain number of years, but not Balto. After 10 years of anonymity, he was finally given a chance to prove himself. He was to rob a small ship of the Scholars of Prinvillet. Of course, it turned out to be an experimental fire ship, and his ship and crew drowned. Rather then returning to his captain a failure, he swam to land, and became a mercenary.

Can you do something about the tax inefficiency its a waste.  It should be how far a province is from one capital.  Or let a lord manage it and take like 70% of tax if the lord is near.  If its far like a penalty of 50% at max for a particular location not like 50% across the board for everything like the current tax inefficiency which is just plain stupid of the developer to do.

How about reassigning castles and towns like changing castle and town owners if you feel a lord is disloyal take it way from him but still let him manage other towns, right now there's no way except to excommunicate him.  There should be an ooption, and changing courts, creating city guards to go out of the city to hunt bandits and find bandit leaders for you instead of going yourself.  There should be an option in town to get quest from guildmaster ASAP instead of wandering town endlessly trying to find them. 

About the dimplacy system.  ONe should be able to attack anyone even with positive relations or declare independent anytime.  Holding feats should increase loyalty with lords and it should be measured in money instead of going around and buying goods which is lame for a king.  Do king do the shopping ? I think not. 

How about creating princess in one's kingdom and marrying them off, that should be fun.  Anyway, like loyal soldiers station at cities to prevent rebellion and it will take some time for a lord to take over if he's outside the town or castle and wants to rebel...There should be loyal solder to slow him down.  Like if one can send a group of troops to aid the town in time, it will not rebel...something that's more real.


Like in the beginning each faction is small and there are neutral.  Trade in city managemeing need to be managed. The ai need to stop cheating, they keep holding feast and respawing with large armies in no time.....they should have a budget.

Not exactly sure what you're trying to explain?

Yes, agreed for all of this

Yes, feasts will be free, or will cost money instead of supplies

Ceebs is currently unable to mod, but is amazing at making companion names, stories, and factions as well. Even idea makers are helpful. Also, if you want detailed information, or want to chat, go to the site and show your support.
