Trading Nobles
« on: February 01, 2010, 08:47:51 am »

I think nobles should become more useful, not saying that they should lose their mandate making way but i personally believe they should take some tasks off of you once the fortress is big enough... Trading for instance, could be automated to a point. You'd appoint a Trader Noble who makes the deals with foreign nations, then according to the deal he'd mandate the creation of said items... After the items are created they are untouchable, unless you specifically unmark them, and once the caravan arrives they are traded automatically... This seems more realistic then having you create every item yourself...

I also thought that you meant to trade them for other nobles when I first read it.

We DO already have a slaver ethics slot. Is it used?: [ETHIC:SLAVERY:PUNISH_CAPITAL]
