But that sounds awefuly like communism to me. Planned economy included.
Lies. Under communism, everybody produces whatever they can stand to produce, the state takes all proceeds, and distributes goods by each person's needs. Under glorious feudalism, you have to produce some amount of whatever the state tells you to, but you can use anything else you produce beyond that however you want. Distribution goes to only those that
deserve need it too, but it's not a due right. The only due right is to produce; compensation of taxed producing by any form is the generosity of the armed state, usually returned in the form of centralized military protection. You can go sell anything you want after that, just don't form any guilds. Seriously, anybody who says "guild" gets the axe.
Didn't we already establish that knights upgrade to tanks? How can then tank be anything but the modern equivalent of knight?
No no, knights upgrade to gunships! (In Civ 4 anyway).
C'mon guys, I'm trying to have a serious discussion about the merits of feudalism here, stop trolling my thread with all this Ultimate Warrior crap.
Class warfare stuffs.
You created this Frankenstein of a thread Aqizzar! Only you can send it back into the abyss from whence it came.
Aqizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzar!
When did I say anything about class warfare? Nothing about feudalism entails class warfare, it's just never been properly implemented before. You can certainly have an equitable feudal system of provision between producers, craftsmen, and the military by a nobility removed from material concerns themselves. Unless you're talking about the merchant class, and then yeah fuck those guys. Usury I say, usury all of it.
And how did these bees get in here?
