Could you possibly include randomly generated ruins? Empty/run-down buildings that are just spawned randomly? Maybe contain loot/mobs idk or just be an empty building, I just think they’d be a cool thing to find. 🙂

Maybe even make them salvageable by building on to them or breaking them down? That would be a neat idea making exploring worth the trek

@Smokestacks I think during the virtual Pizza Party this was mentioned to be in the game… some ancient ruins where skeletons are guarding “treasure”.

Those ruins could be one of the ways that you could obtain magic, lost in history. Like magic is a lost art and ruins provide a place where you can salvage that.

What about some neglected guys who can join your town (or you kill them and take their stuff)?  
I would like to have choices to solve the situations (burn down the ruins, but destroy the stuff inside along with the enemies).

oh, absolutely… good player choice here… i can accept the new migrants, and they may perhaps, over time, contribute something meaningful to the society (long term return on investment)…

or… i can slaughter the lot of them, and hope to pilfer something good from them (immediate return), with a potential problem for me down the road - their band of merry traveling friends come looking for him, or perhaps Bob’s Aunt was a once powerful mystic and she curses my farmland for killing her favorite nephew… ⚡

Or one of them is actually an incredible swordsman and decimates your ambush before running off!
