Owned barracks
« on: September 09, 2008, 02:57:46 pm »

This has probably been suggested before, but I don't see it.

It would be nice to make owning a barracks meaningful: if the leader of a squad owns a barracks, then the squad should sleep and train there.  If the Captain of the Guard owns a barracks, the Fortress Guard sleeps there.  If another noble or maybe the Hammerer owns a barracks, the Royal Guard sleeps there.  That way we can place barracks for particular squads near where we want them stationed -- very important for large fortresses.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

Good idea.  Seems easy enough to implement.

I like it!

I'd also really like to be able to continue to designate ownership of barracks to whichever soldier I want even after the economy turns on. I already use designated beds for soldiers I want posted out in watchtowers and whatnot, but once the economy hits I can't do that unless the soldier is legendary. And I don't exactly want to place my best soldiers out in my watchtowers.
