I said it was my passing thoughts. As in as I was commenting, and then that popped into my head. Once again, you’ll notice that it was not the crux of my comment, which was actually to praise these suggestions as something I too would love in the game. I didn’t direct the conversation back towards women and demand a debate, I simply added my 2 cents as an afterthought and moved on.
It wasn’t antagonistic of me to make the comment, as my aim was not to irritate anyone nor was it even intended to have a response from somebody. You could have left well enough alone and nothing would’ve changed but now here we are. What you are doing now is antagonistic, and honestly you’re doing it for no reason since we have the same goal, which is to see these great suggestions added to the game.
Another thing. This isn’t a group chat. I don’t have to talk about what anyone else is talking about, it only has to be relevant to the OPs post, which it was. But in the interest of doing so to get on track again, I think Renown should stack with consecutive tournament victories (or increase a certain amount each time), at the very least within the same faction since surely people would be remembering your name more frequently if you kept dominating every tournament they watched, definitely think tournaments need notable champions (maybe have the audience chant their name as I saw someone suggest), can’t see a reason not to have a joust or archery too, feasts should return and winning should give you a good bonus to existing courtships (or help with new ones) like it used too, maybe some more post-tournament options in the city, they should be less frequent and yield better rewards as has been said many times, I think there should be a pool of equipment to choose from before you start (which all competitors also choose from) so that they are balanced and fair but still allow you to suit your own strengths and you still have the advantage of having better stats. not exactly sold on this one but maybe characters should show some signs of fatigue as the tournament progresses (one more reason to level up your endurance and make it harder to win tournaments in the early game), would like to see more nobility taking part or having a separate tournament with higher renown demands for it (which would be easier if feasts were in the game since that’s how you get the lords in one place). I think that’s everything.
