i'm a long time lurker,been playing the mod for a while (since pop 3.5),i was so impressed by the new mercenary and knighthood orders features,it make me think that there's nothing impossible for whoever wrote the codes to make those dreams come true..love those features very much...and i love how hard it is for me to even survive the first 2 hours of my life in pendor.
a few suggestions for the future releases not necessarily the next release,unknown future or POP 4 perhaps?,i can
wait and i'll wait.
so here : (ignore these if it is impossible to implement/game breaking)
General Sugestions:
- player can post bounty against parties that attacked the player party,some sort of revenge..making use of the lore,where various adventurers roam the land as bounty hunters..(only if the player choose a certain character background at the start of the game)
- fear system/personal tribute : Lords will try to avoid the player party if he/she was defeated more than 5 times or more by the player by ratio 3:1,and instead of targeting the players estates,they'll target somebody else's estates..
or player can make some sort agreement/contracts with lords/kingdoms so that they will not raid player estates for certain amount of time during war.
- the d'shars,the vanskeries,the jatus and the mystmountain scums
can raid villages..so they can live up to their reputations.
- Tell the sheriff to gather some men and patrol the village vicinity..just around the village!,and don't go wandering to far....as you wish my liege,would you like (A) the sheriff to get the village militias or (B) the experienced rangers?..
- noldor's representative offering various task's/bounty/services in players capitals after the player finished the "befriending the noldors quest" and reach certain amount of reputation with the noldors.
(like hiring noldors patrol maybe)
- i love the new features where the knighthood orders can spawn armies,so i was thinking,i am running a damn big kingdom,and i was nice to them peasants.
it would be nice to see them repay my good intentions by spawning a large group of nationalists peasants army capable of (at least) ruining a merchants life.
- a place to store troops before becoming a lord (must be in town),some kind of a tavern/inn,without breaking the game there will be no discounts on wages,player will still pay full wages+fees for every soldiers put to rest at that place.
and no i'm not referring to "building a fort" like in other mods,but i think it something like the knighthood orders quest when you leave your army behind..only this time you pay for their keep..
- ability to trade with the Barclay/melitines/Mettenheims/Vecavian and use services,(hiring troops)..(after several requirements fulfilled/character creation maybe?)
- please make them girls..companion girls love each other...not that yuri kind o' thing..not that...it's weird to see them fighting each other over something that is not that important..i can understand the disputes between the dawns and the eventides,or how boadice think all men were simply slaves..
but not the girls..not the girls please...don't take away my harem dream!.
Weapons :
- blunt weapon is too powerful!!,for Astrea's sake nerve them a bit,i was mauled to death by a peasant with a huge hammer,i was wearing a decent armour and i can't do **** against that one peasant knocking me over and over again with ridiculous damage..them bloody sarleons!...
- add more pointy sticks...love them a lot..and if possible,keep them glaives swinging with more hurt capabilities against Horses not the riders.just the horses..i enjoy it very much to cut down several men and horses in 1 good swing..Rune Ruby Glaive FTW...i cut him down this morning that Brennus scum.1 swing and he's down along with his horse,too bad he managed to escape..next time he'll rot in my dungeon.
Troops :
- Keep them all,they're all good.it would be nice to see more troops variations (outfit) but i really do think it's already at the state that the troops are more than good enough for me.
- can choose which kind of troop to recruit in villages that once belong to other cultures.via talk to elders menu.
- Villages that is still recovering after being raided will offer no recruits.
that's all i can think of,there's almost nothing more to add actually..the mod is already too awesome for me to handle.
these are just my selfish suggestions,not a request,and perhaps can help the devs came up with ideas to improve the mod.
anyway great Job guys..love the mod as it is right now.
