Some ideas that came to me while playing, thought maybe they may be worth considering when thinking about future features.
- Be able to set the maximum movement speed of your Party.
Mainly because it makes Caravan escorts and any missions related to cattle not so god damn annoying.
- instead of giving you a village when you join a kingdom, the king could offer you a piece of land close to his realm.
Not acres of land that generate revenue, but an actual piece of land on the map. There you can found your own village (maybe even construct it yourself?) and expand it in a variety of ways. (Maybe just make it a big settlement that generates lots of rent, or make it a farm village where your people produce food for your army. You could also build your own castle where you can garrison your troops, given enough time and investments in your land.) In any case, it should take time to get anywhere with that. expanding your own village into a town shouldn't be happen over night.
Maybe even make it so your land can turn into a new city after a long time. (No idea if this is actually possible, i have no idea about modding and/or programming, just throwing ideas around here. I can't say if something is worth making or even if it's possible at all.)
- Give the player more options when it comes to customization of the stuff you own. For example:
-> More improvement options for your villages, castles and cities.
After all, I'm their lord and these are medieval times. They should do what i tell them to. If i want them to kiss my feet, they damn better kiss my god damn feet and be grateful! (I'm actually a nice lord, really. *cough*)
-> Improve the shops in your city.
Hire trades that trade for better raw materials, thus making the weapons and armor produced in your city of a better quality, or hire experienced Blacksmiths, for example.
-> A personal mail carrier.
Someone i can send out to other lords, cities or villages and let them do stuff for me. (like when i send for another lord and ask them if they're willing to follow me or stuff like that) So you can send your carrier to purchase farmland in other cities, build enterprises there, ask them if they need help and so on. (I've no idea if this would even make sense, it just seams like it should be possible. You are a medieval lord, you have people to do that stuff, if i want to know how the people in my villages are doing, i let people do that for me, i don't need to go there myself.)
Like i said, just some ideas that came to my mind while playing. I don't know if any of them are actually realizable or if they can be integrated in the game without butchering the game balance.
