Actually, we’ve had some serious discussion on non-lethal weapons for different playing style attempts. Nets, blunt sides of weapons, etc. could be an alternate option to try and avoid outright total war with entities like the goblins or future human foes (and possible some magical ones like the golems, but in different ways). This could be a more “tactical” route, where the player has to balance out killing enemies (which might be easier and award more experience) and trying to maintain positive relations or impressions via self-control and appeasement. Naturally, a town known for causing complete annihilation might seem a little dangerous and terrifying for potential immigrants to want to come to…
