Something for those with no strat faction to do?

so there are lots of random players who want to strat but cant due to needing to be in a clan :P

Im wondering if anything can be done for these people

two examples

Bandit camps only the faction less can see and attack
Slave trading. Perhaps when you win a battle you take a % as slaves to sell in cities


not sure how to make it work out without abuse. maybe all non faction players turn into a special Bandit or rouge faction after 7 days outside of a clan? who knows just throwing ideas

Make your own faction! Even just 1-3 people with cRPG gold can get the ball rolling in Strategus. Buy troops/strat gold to start, or even a village if you're rich enough.

I've always liked the idea of bandit camps, as well, and hope someday something like that will be in this thing.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

The bandit camp idea is nice.  Although, I think it should be given a more general name because they are not always bandits.

Something that can be set up for a small clan to be as the Head-Quarters.  Something that they can create (Perhaps give it a day or 2 to finish) Then enter and use as a defensive stand.

You can make it enter-able  and such, although no trading nor population, the army would work the same way.  Gold as well.

Could make for an interesting setup.

The only problem is the scenes.  We may need to use the basic concept of what Fire and Sword has when you set up a "Wagon fort" of sorts, maybe a little more complex.  Nonetheless this would be a fun idea I would support if we can find the scene creators to help out!

EDIT: This could also make Sieges look like real sieges on the strat map, rather then a bunch of dots surrounding a castle, you see a bunch of encampments.  Create scout encampments as well as Patrol.  A lot of possibilities.

And it would be nice if factions could build forts at key crossings and trade routes.  For a lot of gold of course. And limitations on the amount of people that could be stationed there. Plus upkeep. Make a nice gold sink

Hmm... I have 40k silver and no idea what to do with it.

Maybe I start a donkey trading and delivery service. Surely nobody would attack random, unarmed people with donkeys, now would they?

Problem isn't that there is nothing to do for "single player" but the mindset of all those faction wankers. Instead of focusing on there mighty wars and ridiculous diplomacy circle jerk, they still attack randomers no matter where you go and which faction it is.

I tried at some point, got attacked like every other day... It's pointless to introduce new feature when most people playing strat are simply assholes ;)
