If were on my power I would Change:

Replace the Paraphernalia Scouts, by Adventurer Scouts? just let the scouts be Players!

Since they are lesser nobles they will fit into this category pretty well, just need some balance adjustments and will be ready.


Bye!

I would remove Chenier. Because I find him supremely distasteful.

I would remove myself as well, because I find that people get too intimidated by my glorious superiority.

I like this idea but I have two concerns:
1. In war times adventurers would be pressured to scout full time or face arrest
2. Timeliness.  I let my 16 hours build up before I spend them so a scouting request might take +1 turns to complete.

However, perhaps adventurer scouting provides additional details that the current scouting does not? (like what? who knows - maybe rumours about troops incoming to the current region from other regions?)

Maybe things like siege engines or details on particular units?

Tom has emphatically rejected this multiple times before. He doesn't want the adventurer game and the noble game to overlap too much, and he definitely very strongly does not want adventurers to be treated as paraphernalia by nobles.

I would significantly reduce or even remove unit-realm distance penalties.

Not sure what's been posted here and what hasn't, but...

1. The ability to write messages after a character dies - but limit it to roleplay messages or possibly (?) OOC messages.

1. The ability to choose a name for your unit's captain once one is found, or have an option to rename them. Would be optional and in addition to the randomization of names already.

1. The ability to "attach" adventurers (other player characters) to units with their permission. When attached, they lose the ability to travel on their own (unless they remove themselves from the unit) but have new options like the ability to train soldiers (effectiveness depending on their skill level), raise morale, scout bordering regions, etc. Attached adventurers automatically fight in any battle the unit engages in, and have the chance to be injured, seriously injured, killed, etc. They can also be "promoted" to captain and would replace your named captain, if you have one. They cannot move the unit on their own, and their communication isn't expanded here - they use the same message system as before.

1. Death. Everyone has a small chance of death, and class choices augment this slightly - heroes would still be the riskiest, with courtiers having the least risk of death.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Humans are named by their parents, not their superiors.

I'd make looting a more viable way of warfare.

Wars are too much about conquest, too little about other spoils in my opinion.

Not sure I'd make this my number one, but it'd definitely be up there somewhere.

Yea, this too.

Troops should be able to use looting to repair damage, so that you can have a "Mongol horde" traveling across the lines.

Looting yielding more gold, reducing equipment damage, and increasing troop morale in a more significant matter would make it more interesting.

Looting, right now, is only done when people wish to utterly destroy. It'd be nice to have a more balanced choice of looting options, some options which do lots of damage but little rewards, other options that deal very little damage but yield much greater rewards.
