I'd like to share and discuss one idea I have for making the gameplay more dynamic and deep, while raising both the PvP and cooperation factor:
PvP games start with only your hut being your land. Everything else is common land. If you want land for yourself, you need to take it.
What this simple change accomplishes is a lot:
- The take actions is no longer stigmatized by itself
- Conflicts and the necessity for agreements are generated
- The option of farming on common ground (with agreements in place) becomes more likely to be used
- Many, many additional paths to betrayl
- A higher possibility of gaps in the defense because nobody feels responsible for this or that plot
What do you think about this? It would be possible to run it experimentally in one or two villages and just see how it turns out.
