Just some ideas I felt like throwing out there to be dismembered and burned by the awesome modders of SOD.
Something I thought that would be cool is if we could build some palisades around the towns or when you are camping(camping option or "wait here for a while" is what it is called I believe) your troops automatically construct palisades for archers to defend at. They wouldn't be major walls just palisades of wood made to give the defender a slight advantage. Being able to build those around town would be interesting.
I think it would be interesting(and more logical) if the king had his own Royal guard or bodyguards that would defend him to the death. I mean cmon what kinda king would travel alone with a bunch of footmen that might stab him the back the second they get a chance lol. Although I suppose you coould think of the knights as a guard. I was just thinking of an elite guard specifically for the king of the faction.
Would it be possible to add bayonets to the carbines or just increase melee of the gun with a bayonet? That would definitely be interesting
Instead of thugs attacking you in the towns at night when you enter why don't you change them to ninjas haha. You could even go futher and add assassin unit specifically for each faction. A special order of assasains or knights would be very awesome. Maybe as your renown increases the strength of your "assassins" could increase slowly.
Some new companions would be very awesome but seeing that we already have a ton of unique characters and lords I wouldn't blame you if ya didn't haha.
More maps with siege towers.
I miss them haha. Another thing regarding sieges that I had an idea about is if you could dig tunnels underneath the castle walls and literally go under them it happened in real sieges so why not haha.(http://www.historyonthenet.com/Medieval_Life/attacking_a_castle.htm)
