I'd like to suggest that more benefits for being neutral be placed in the game, maybe by giving out neutral/mecenary missions (Not Merchant) through a new town maybe and to go with that a Neutral ranking/title system like those avalible to the Warring sides. I'd also like to see more Neutral towns in general aside from Zendar.

Also, without modding I'd be interested in making it easier to get the Female soldiers in your army. This could be done possibly when more farms are setup or perhaps through purchasing slaves (hey, you can sell they - why not buy?).

*Edit* I just remembered, Neutral units ie Townsmen, Watchmen etc could really use a branching evolution path like those of the Swadian/Vagiers.
 
I'm not sure I agree with the idea of a neutral title system -- after all, who do you serve that has authority to ennoble you? Maybe the lord of Zendar (was he a duke?) could title you, or the lord of another neutral city (assuming that any further neutral cities would not be under the same ruler).

As for buying slaves, I think it would probably be a bad idea, because slaves would have the worst morale. Perhaps it could be included with the programming behind it that the slaves in your party may occassionally "make a run for it" by disbanding and forming a new party--which may or may not be friendly to you!

I do agree on branching of the Zendar units.
 
Alternatively , rescue/buy slaves and free them , they are surely gonna love you for it , as long as you can feed them equip them ,bring them up as one of your own , etc etc ,

hmm possibilities of mercenary bands here :smile:


if you get enough 'free persons' working for you , isn't that the same as having your own 'liegemen'

as an 'aproved mercenary' then your 'faction' regarding neutrality wouldbe sacrosanct, but it would obviously mean that you would recieve no bonuses for work you do for either side, you mercenary scum that won't stick around if the battle gets sticky :twisted:


in short neutrality 'could' be very useful , but also could be a limit on your personal progression , unless you finally choose sides........................


and gods help you if your troops decide they prefer the other side if and when you do ........ :razz:
 
I guess by ranking, I just meant something along the lines of rather then being titleless, you'd earn/choose an unoffical title such as "Backstabber" "Honourable" etc, this doesn't even have to be restricted to just neturals either.

With slaves, you buy them from say - bandits at Dhorak Keep or something I'm certain letting them ride free with you would be a nice change for them.

Basically yeah, I want more interest in netural to make it worthwhile.
