Providing Quarter for the Armies of our leige
« on: July 25, 2014, 09:11:30 am »

As loyal citizens of the Monarch it would be expected that any settlement of sufficient size (barony etc.) would provide food and rest for the armies of the Monarch and his vassals(hearth people).

They come,

they eat your food,

they sleep in your beds(maybe dorms, maybe higher level noble army leaders can kick people out of rooms they want until they are gone),

use your "excellent hospitals"

maybe some of them buy mugs from your shops but mostly they just take from you. An option to rebel from your entity would also be !!FUN!!.

Setting up supply forts near the front lines to help out the war, would be really really cool, especially if the King was our retired adventurer (hehehe)

I like the idea, and the mechanics will probably be implemented in the "tavern" development arc. This could be integrated with army movement on the map, so that far-flung outposts don't suffer this problem, whereas fortresses you build in the comfort of your homeland have to deal with many royal demands.
