Wall of text beware lol

We all wanted to get the advantage over our rival via it a lord of the same kingdom or the lord of a rival kingdom.

Wouldn't the enjoyment of not only cutting the throat of the lord you just capture be even better if you could do it on the battlefield? Or wouldn't it even be more enjoyable to watch the lord who did everything in his power to block your status as it grows in the eyes of the king suddenly die in his sleep with a knife in his heart or a cup in his hand?

My Idea and while it sounds very complicated would throw the game in to the direction from nobles to common man game play. Giving the player a  new set of tools to use. Wouldn't be fun if the lords of the kingdoms debated and fought each other in debates over the direction of the kingdom. Don't you want that rival who would counter you as you move up in the world. Would not enjoy the idea of expanded debates about who gets the newly capture city. Who gets the next title from the king and who will replace the king if he dies and a lot more other stuff?

When war breaks out wouldn't it be more fun if you could control the direction of the kingdom. Would you send reinforcements to a ally or watch as he killed or capture and maybe executed. Wouldn't it be even better to set the terms of ending the war so both parties get a good deal or force them to do your bidding or maybe convince them to take you in  if they got the advantage. Wouldn't it be even more enjoyable if you could hold sway in the choices of a newly capture city, would you order everyone inside brutally murder? or enslaved? or force to accept there new masters? or be welcome as liberators.

For the common man who wants to be something more. Would you not want to control the direction of the city you call home. Would you put you use your choice to grow in in the politics of the city. Control where it's trade goes and what gets more funding defense or trade or etc. Would you become mayor or sheriff and wage a election? Would you as a merchant watch as another merchant suddenly expands and buys up all the iron in the city or all the etc. Will you sit by and let him control the prices or will you brutally or even peacefully take control of the merchants. Expanding your power in to a money making giant in the world.

Would you take another route and become evil and rule the underworld. Will you sit by as another group of guys try to control of your area. Will you bribe guards in to letting you get away with stuff. Will you you take payments in exchange of some under the counter task. Will you cut the head off another rival gang leader and force his gang to join yours as you expand your underworld empire. Could you take the money from a noble or a mayor who wants a rival dead. Will you order the ambushing of a person so they can be ransom? Would you send a clear message to a lord or sheriff by ordering the killing of his wife in a brutal attempt to take the pressure off of you. Will you raze a town or send men to collect slaves so they could be sold.

Will you as any of these use the services of the assassins and spy's to gain the upper hand in this world? Could you put the gold forward for a spy to go to a city or a lord and find his weak spot or change his mind. Will you  hire the assassin to take his person out via it be good or evil. Will you hire the assassin to take out another assassin who plans on killing the lord or wife or you. Will you be the shadow of good or evil in a attempt to set the balance  or will you use these guy's to tip it in your favor or a friends favor.

Could you accept the faith of watching your wife capture in your castle and then brutally killed by a rival army under? Would you watch as your food is laced with something deadly  by a rival lord at a feast. could you stand by and let the world come down upon you as everyone you love friend and family is ether murder by your rivals?

To me this is just a base idea to build off of

Those connections options in the friends menu could be expanded to take advantage of something. Maybe a friend happens to be a little shadowy and will do a favor for you.

Just something to think about and etc.

Hmm...Some of these seem pretty interesting. I especially like the idea of more options when dealing with friendly and/or hostile lords.  :wink: They can be pretty annoying sometimes.
 
Damn Sparty, you should throw some of your ideas to the Diplomacy team.  :mrgreen:
