Within the Kingdom tab, I would like another menu or view within the overview that shows the "total cost of operations" for my entire Kingdom. I think it makes the most sense summed up at the Kingdom view, but it could also be in the Tab, I think this would help a lot of players who enjoy the meta or even casual players who do not know the true effects they have.
Ideally it would a superset of the income that you see in your Clan tab for revenues and expenses but for the entire Kingdom:
Additionally I'd like to see damages / denars lost for the entire Kingdom. This one may be a bit tricky, and I am under the assumption that some state of Caravans, Villagers, and Parties are kept in the backend which track their loot and denars they carry. But ideally it would be another section that would show "year to date" losses incurred for:
This metadata will help achieve the following objectives:
Ideally it would a superset of the income that you see in your Clan tab for revenues and expenses but for the entire Kingdom:
- Total Change (positive or negative)
- Total cost of Garrisons
- Total cost of Parties
- Total cost of Mercs
- Total cost of Tribute
- Workshop Revenue
- Caravan Revenue
- Tariff Revenue
- Tax Revenue
- Tribute
Additionally I'd like to see damages / denars lost for the entire Kingdom. This one may be a bit tricky, and I am under the assumption that some state of Caravans, Villagers, and Parties are kept in the backend which track their loot and denars they carry. But ideally it would be another section that would show "year to date" losses incurred for:
- Banditry: Anytime bandits kill a Party, a Caravan or a Villager Party if there was a way we could sum up the loot/denars that were "lost" and track that. If it was broken out by those categories that would help further.
- This would help decisions like Perk selection and assignment of Governors that granted Village Hearth Growth and Party Size
- Setting parties to Defensive
- Building bigger caravans or taking more Escort Merchant Caravan missions
- War: Anytime a village is raided, or a Lord/Caravan/Villager party is killed by an enemy Party in a war having this track would be good. Ideally this could also be shown in the Diplomacy tabs - I want to understand the true economic damage I am incurring on the enemy.
This metadata will help achieve the following objectives:
- Enhanced immersion in the world, the Player will understand their impact and the wider forces acting on their kingdom
- Financial Intelligence can aid the Player in making decisions such as Kingdom Policies, Party / Kingdom Inclinations (Defense/Offense), whether or not to build/buy more workshops, projects, caravans, etc.
- Give the Player data about the effects they're having on another Kingdoms economy, in form the the amount of loss they're incurring due to Player and AI Party actions (e..g, raids, killing caravans and villagers)
- Provide more data to the Player about the likelihood a Kingdom will seek peace due to economic damage
- Help the Player decide (in combination with the Wealth sorting capability added in 1.6.1) what clans to give money to.
