Upcoming updates

[chadz]

So, I'm announcing this so I'm not fucking some traders over who happen to be in the field. Changes should happen within the next 24 hours.

- Faraway goods bonus will be vastly increased (probably up to +500%),
- The formula will be changed to flatten in the end,
- items and goods will slow you down if you don't have enough men,
- people will be able to see an estimate on how many items you are carrying,
- horses will help against slowing down.

Why show the number of goods being carried, isn't army size enough???  Will the weapons or approx amount of weapons an army (landowner or bandit) has and gold also be shown???  How about setting a range around a fief. castle, or town in which attacks can not happen?

p.s. appreciate the forewarning though

You killed traders, crisis is coming!

This will force caravans to be well armed, and bandits will have a few targets to hit. This means It is really important for large clans to clear their lands to caravans want to come to their lands. Also + +++++++ for more money.

Can you post the goods to troop ratio?

[Erasmas]

Actually, making caravans smaller, slower, more expensive (troop upkeep) and more vulnerable means ... less money but: more bandits, so: more battles.

Increase of the my old friend on short distance will prevent caravans going on long runs.

This will also encourage clans to take over land asap to prevent bandits being hosted (and enforced with troops) in the locations.

[Jarlek]

Damn. Need to rethink my caravan routes now...

[Overdriven]

Any change on horse costs? Pretty please 

[justme]

good time for bandits

[SeQuel]

chadz could you make it so villages update their roster with people who signed up like 5 minutes till the battle? It only makes sense that the village grabs as much as it needs to help defend itself. All I'm asking for is have the village do like a last 5 minute check for any late sign ups.

What is 'enough men' based upon? It would be silly if 1 goods = 1 troop, or the notion that the 'troops' are actually carrying around this stuff.

Let us craft/build actual wagons (x amount of goods can be stored in X type) in order to speed things up then and lower the requirement of troops.
