Feudalism and civil war
« on: June 07, 2010, 03:38:39 pm »

Many Medieval governments were feudalistic, or had people owning land you gave them.  Kings could tax, request armies, and do much more with these provinces.  Dwarves could make a system like saying shops or land can be sold by the owner and built on off map.  Then the owners become counts or some other form of leader.  They are like dwarf forts.  Eventually the fort owners could rebel and create their own country.  The civil wars would be good right now maybe, and I don't expect the feudalistic idea for a while.  If this came up anywhere else then just delete the post.

This will likely come in when wars are properly tracked and territory can be taken and retaken in-game. It's in the War Arc, req not bloat.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

Sounds a bit like the county arc as well - having smaller external settlements build off-map, and not directly under the control of the player, but subservient to the fortress.

Buildings should be sold and bought though, not worked in by some random guy.

That is what I expect.  I just do not want to forget to post.
