Rape, pillage and acts of mass murder.

[Kraspanda]

Wouldn't it be lovely to have the option of being a total **** if you conquer a town or village? Now it's just conquering it and then stationing some troops until your enemy reconquers the place and you're back at square one. What I'm suggesting is doing something like the "blabla, the stubborn defenders have retreated to the castle andsoforth" but instead you have a swarming mass of innocent unarmed townsfolk you can slaughter at will, after which there will be corpses lying around as part of the scenery when you visit the town (dead babies would look lovely).

Perhaps then burn it if you like, turning it into something like a looted village for some time.

 

[Shadowcreep]

You can already do this by going to loot a village with 25 or fewer total men in your party, including yourself. Slaughter the villagers.

That's the best you're going to get in that department.

No, why would you want to slaughter innocents why dont attack you? One reason is that the age rating would go up. MW2 was rated 18 instead of 16 because of one such mission.
Another reason is that it is useless, a city without a population is of no use, if you keep the inhabitants you get taxes.

 

[Qwertyman]

those downsides would exist in game,  acts of douchebaggery would have the same downsides as in real life-  people hate you and you dont gain much.  on the upside, its damn fun!

Well, it's like pillaging a village, but then with cities; if you don't have the men and resources to actually hold a city, you can just slaughter the population, pillage and burn the place so whatever faction held the city before your arrival won't gain anything when they recapture the place.

And secondly, isn't an 18+ age-rating a benefit to sales? I know I am more likely to buy a game with such a rating than one without one.

Rape Pillage Murder..... BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD

 

[PrinceGhaldir]

18+ a reason to buy a game? Souns like rubbish to me.

 

[SaxonSpooner]

But noone cares what you think Ghaldir......... if we told you, you could rape men would that bring you over to our side...... I think so

But honestly no rape... rape is bad

 

[AzukaLord]

Having an option to rape looks nice although we don't need it to be detailed in visual (otherwise it will be just like some pr0n game XD)

With "Rape" we can have a temporary boost in population growth rate and of course to restore your men's morale they need some fun after battle LOL

We must admit many soldiers did rape during the war especially in the past

 

[mark259]

I don't see any fun in raping, even in a game. But I'm all for more gore.

 

[mark259]

We must admit most of the soldiers do rape and massacre during war

I consider original suggestion unnecessarilly cruel. Although I plunder villages regularly I  think extent of this plundering is sufficient enough. I would even awaited an alternative if player wants to burn invaded village or not after plundering. I plunder village only for receiving goods and for selling them for money and I think I would always spare these villagers and their homes if I could if they wouldn't resist. 

 

[Kraspanda]

Yeah, but it's a tactic in itself, like in world war 1 the Germans adopted the strategy of Ausbluten, basically just bleeding out the French untill there were no more left. And depopulating in WWII on the eastern front.

Genocide changes the face of war, sparking hatred that lasts for years while also demoralizing your opponent.

You are a sick F*#K.

That's because you're a nice guy
But some people does have a really retarded way of thinking and making them a real dickhead XD
And the first poster in this thread is talking about being a total ****, where raping and massacre are just a normal thing to do

Thems the times. You don't have to show it or actually participate in the pillaging and slaughtering. I recall in Medieval II: Total War there were three options when taking a city. Occupy, Sack, and Slaughter. Occupying would be the good guy thing which is apparently the default option in this game. Sacking kills only those who resist you but nets you extra loot. So those "innocents" you slaughter when sacking are attacking you.

Exterminating most of the populace as the last option is good to send a message to the town. The survivors will grudgingly obey your rule for fear of them being the next victims. It's also something good to do when you don't think you can spare the men to garrison the city and just do it to weaken the enemies economy when they inevitably take it back. Besides as a roleplaying game you should be able to rule with fear. Heads on pikes outside village and town entrances (The graphics for this are in the game http://strategywiki.org/wiki/File:Mount%26Blade_sightseeing_Glunmar.jpg ). Mass executions, whatever.

Never knew that it depended on how many men you have.  Good to know.

My freaking hero. 

I think that rape is waaaaaaay overboard and unnecessary I do like the idea of being able to raze a town or castle (Heck at least it's food stores or something) so that when I'm raiding around with my 105 party I don't have to worry about garrisoning a castle I don't even want. Seriously though the image that went through my mind when I read the OP's post made me want to hunt you down and show you how rape, pillaging, and acts of mass murder feel. You should seek some sort of therapy to help for your awful lack of a soul. Further more, a rating of 18+ does not help a game sell as it limits the number of those who are deemed capable of understanding it significantly. I for example have a copy of the original M&B for my 9 year old nephew and I have no intention of him committing rape or slaughtering babies. It's one thing to want to be realistic, another to want to be immersed, but it's an entirely different thing to be as mentally demented as that. An idea like this would get hit so hard with the morality morning star Jesus himself would have whiplash.

 

[PrinceGhaldir]

I second that!

 

[General Darius]

i say nay to rape but yea to killing

hell why not add a 4th option for you scoundrel mercs?

Ransom

where you ransom the town by grabbing the loot and asking the nation for payment =D
