There's no value of holding cities in native, besides not being destroyed. Unless you mean value for the player, but you can't hold cities in the mod, so that's irrelevant.
Money comes from your rank-based salary, plus the old-fashion methods of pillaging. You can also earn money from quests, boxing and things of that nature.
Not for now, but something like that may be included when I start work on things like being elected mayor.
Being able to take over a faction would be a nice feature for the future, but not at all the kind of thing I'm focusing on now. The thing I'm focusing on for now (and for the remainder of the time I spend working on the first alpha) is being a soldier and all that goes with it. To a lesser extent I'm also working on the social aspects of being a soldier. You can be a soldier's soldier if you like, but there will be certain advantages to being a gentlemen soldier who attends balls, buys property, wears natty outfits and all sorts of rubbish like that.
Lords don't die, and I doubt I'll ever make them die. It works in a something like TLD because of it's very focused on one specific theatre of one war in a very contained area. It doesn't work so well when you've got a global focus where wars can start and end whenever and between whoever.
Trust me when I say that a .45 ACP, or a 9MM Parabellum or a .455 Webley is not something you want to stand in front of. They will kill a person very easily. Even comparatively weak flintlock pistols were still deadly. Anything that can open the flesh up can be deadly, especially something that can destroy organs and smash bones. I mean, there's no safe place to get shot; there are vital organs and blood vessels everywhere.
SolidXerm, for several reasons I'm not including any real people as companions.

Precisely.

Everywhere on earth? not necessarily a democratic or popular election, but even if a single person chooses who gets to be mayor that's still being elected.

I do tend to base my gameplay decisions around episodes of Blackadder.

In English, when one quotes only a part of a sentence they're supposed to amend it to form as correct a sentence as possible, and any changes made are to be marked with brackets. I wasn't correcting your grammar.
The point of my 'precisely' is that you are right about me not being the one doing the multiplayer, and it is therefore of little use to direct questions about it towards me.

So Docm, it's my birthday today (for real), care for another gift

I feel like multiplayer would have felt better as a surprise reveal closer to release, it might have meant a slightly lower profile for the mod but the thread would have removed a major source of dull, repetitive questions.
I have to say with all these people trying to milk their birthdays it sure makes me regret not taking advantage of mine, but eh. I'm curious about how you interact with other characters at the social events you mentioned as important for maintaining the image of a 'gentleman soldier'. Any chance of sharing some details, or is it staying behind closed doors for now?

This may be "a bit" too early to ask, but sometime in the future when ur 100% done with L'Aigle, do you have any plans for like a spinoff mod taking place for example in the Frech revolutionary wars, the 7 years' war or (better yet if you ask me ) the world wars of the 20'th century?
Also (this is pretty surreal, but let's ask for curioisity's sake) did you ever have this wild idea of incorporating U.S.A in the mod as a faction, or something like American or Canadian mercs?

Didn't you know? Docm will work on this mod till he dies, and his final wish will be to have it uploaded so we can play it. Only like another 50 years to go. Or so. I think? Roughly. Maybe.

I don't hear myself laughing, but anyway.
I'm pretty sure alpha is indeed going to be released this year, because Docm stated he is now polishing the most vital warfare stuff for the first release, so if he next year gets either run over, drowns, eats incorrectly cooked puffer fish or some other nice thing occurs to him, I'm confident we will still have something in our hands by then.

Only 50 years?, I could have sworn it was 200.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Docm is clearly a demi-god so we'll be waiting even longer.
