Hey @BlockCrafter89,
First off, good topic! Although Iâve seen this topic before, itâs not often discussed as much as Iâd like.
With that, I can agree with you for the most part. Most of what you mentioned are really cool ideas. However, I think it should be drawn back just a little, meaning I think it should just be a bit simpler⌠or perhaps more complicated. I donât know⌠AnywayâŚ
Now, Iâm very excited for this game and all of itâs possibilities, so please forgive me for going overboard here, but here are my thoughts on such a feature:
First,
I think the main reason for a such a character to exist would simply be to represent the player. That being that when I build a castle and throne, I want the âbuilderâ of the kingdom to sit in that chair. With that, representing the player, I think there should be a bit of customizing here. Now before I continue, I already feel like adding such a feature would be too much for this game and the developers, considering the amount of work they have to do with a small team, but this is just for fun and just to throw out ideas and what have you. So letâs keep going!
- With customizing, it should be relatively simple. Before you begin the game, you can create a, letâs say âHero.â With this character and creating him/her, you can choose from the various facial features in the game already and shape how you want your âHeroâ to look. Once in the game, you can further customize your âHeroâ by crafting different clothing for him/her to wear, different armor to wear, different weaponry to use, and or equip your character with special loot from, which I believe to be planned for the game - dungeons, that are specifically for âHeroes.â Also, not to mention, this would be agreat addition for modders to go crazy-bonkers with.
Second,
With the idea on taxes, I can agree, again, for the most part. I donât think the âHeroâ should actually go out and collect taxes him/herself, but instead just enable them to happen. To explain, my idea was, well⌠let me provide an example:
- Letâs say you start off with your âHero.â At this time, youâre town is only a small farming community like most games start off to be, so taxes wonât be enabled; meaning the only source of gold during this time would be through trade. Once your town reaches a certain level of âNet Worth,â you can select your âHeroâ and enable taxes to be collected and raise or lower that tax.
Umm, well thatâs it.
Longest reply ever⌠Or not. I donât know. ⌠Iâm a loserâŚ
Haha, anyway, again cool post!
Have a good one,
-Surly
