I play the game daily and really enjoy it! I also enjoy the new content and the dedication of the dev team!
One of the things I like most is gaming where I can take on an alternate persona ... i.e. doing something that I would never do in real life.
A game play path I would like to see in this game is the ability to take on an 'Attila the Hun' type of identity.
I would like to start out as an obscure 'nobody'... let's say a 'brigand of the north' who grows his power gradually by drafting only looters and robbers and shapes them into a real fighting force, conducting raids and other nefarious actions. I would imagine this is what the real 'Attila' did.
The basic path is already there to some extent by doing jobs for the seedy types in the towns. Use this mechanic for 'Attila' to forge 'dark' alliances and forge entirely new 'diplomatic' associations .... gradually becoming the ultimate 'underworld' power.
Eventually, and gradually, as the 'reputation' grows, hefty prices are put on the players 'head' by the nobles and the ultimate gameplay is to conquer the map all the while evading armies sent to eliminate your 'rogue' faction. One of the main challenges is finding 'safe harbors' to trade and resupply.
While I think an independent mod author might be able to pull this off, I think that the current devs would do a lot better given their intimate knowledge of the game engine and mechanics. The current devs would weave a more effective 'parallel universe', if you will. One that takes into account the existing geopolitical status of the nobles, amid their own wars and struggles.
Thanks for reading!
