[Suggestion] Fief Transaction Log

[Uumdi]

Hey community, was wondering what you thought of this idea.  Since its a heavy S&D game right now, I've seen things get pretty salty between people using up each others points without permission.  Personally, I hate it and want to flame it into the ground - but its honestly appropriate and adds a great deal to the game.  I trust it'll be rebalanced, and understand this is the first testing phase and this round of strat has still only begun.

Trading goods should be crucial, but right now its honestly viewed as a terrorist act to sell your goods to somebody's fief.  There's a sense of partitioning off the land much much more than before, which is an interesting thing and adds a whole new dynamic to the mental / diplomacy game, but its a bit drastic atm.  The independants struggle, and the clans are left policing the lands at odd hours making sure somebody didn't trade goods and get away with it.

To the point:
Could there be a transaction log to keep track of transactions and commerce in any given fief.

Obviously it doesn't make sense to oversee and approve each transaction made, but fief owners should have the power to regulate in a small form the city's commerce.  An idea might be to be able to spend production points on actually hiring the imaginary workforce that would keep these records for the Lord to refer to in the future.

That way if it is an optional mechanic, you wouldn't need to utilize it, but it would make people wary that they might be being recorded or surveyed.  Give people an option to spend their resources on basic reconnaissance.

Yes, I brought this up in IRC the other day as well. Definitely would be nice so you don't have to wonder who raped your S&D, you can just bring it up and make sure you don't throw around false accusations.


We had 2,000+ S&D magically disappear in 2-3 diff. fiefs and had to play detective to find out who done it!

This log is a must for fief owner

But takes away some of the mystery and raging. We all love that.

Well, perhaps not love, but you will miss it if its gone. A bit like Panos, no one loves him, but we miss the drama.

I see your point, and I would even go as far as to say I loved Panos.  But NA had Spookisland.  You just gotta let some things go for the greater good.

Oh shit I'm going to get caught if this is done 



Maybe if the devs wanted to reach a middle ground on this matter, they could put a log with infos on the transaction but without the name ? Would still require a bit of detective work then!

Example:

A group of 124 unarmed men sold 300 Cookies in your fief at 12:49 GMT
A group of 124 unarmed men bough 525 Frozen Pizzas in your fief at 12:54 GMT
A group of 1 heavily armed men bough 1 half-dead Rouncey in your fief at 16:32 GMT


With the fact that you can spot and count the number of soldier/crates and see the equipment status, it would lead to recon being demanded to bring tresspassers to justice.

And when its a member of a faction, its easy to ask the diplomat of said faction to check up the member list and spot the one guy with Frozen Pizzas all over his pockets.



A small tweak that would push diplomacy and controlling traffic: two good things I think.
