I'm thinking about reworking the way that family gold works slightly.
My idea is to prevent some of the abuses and make the whole thing more transparent and easier.
The basic idea is that family gold should act more like a personal bank, with some limits. Instead of the current random events, families would:
- not automatically generate any gold anymore
- allow you to deposit and withdraw gold at will
- but keep a record of your balance and there would be a withdraw limit for every character (much like guilds)
I am also thinking about doing away with the "family home" and considering every estate a family home, and yes that would mean we would have "homeless" families - an incentive for people to get estates, at least one.
Basically, the whole way families work. I'd like to do more with them, make the family more important.
