Make Statue of the Chieftain expand v claims again

[bmjclark]

I don't really understand why this was ever changed tbh. You could even put them back to requiring soldier swords again. I think I've built exactly 1 statue of the chieftain since hafen released, and that was the 1 statue it took to realize they don't expand the v claim anymore.

again? that means they also need to take steel sword again too.

Yes. Or different swords increase auth by different sizes/amounts.
I'd be fine with scrapping the variable material for the sword and making it always use soldier swords though if it means getting it back as an auth object

I end every world with cupboards and cupboards of random looted weapons. Could be cool for larp reasons to be able to use any kind of weapon in a statue to expand my willage. Could make weapons a variable building material, and have a statue cost one B12, or like 10 bronze sword. Could maybe even use combat equipment in general, but I imagine that would require too much artwork for such a minor thing.

If we're going to go the "cosmetic" route for the statue, could make them look like the village chieftain. Wouldn't be that hard, I don't think, to do.

oh yeah true. havent notice but yes it is bad it is not like it used to be. maybe add more statues with different usages?

[jordancoles]

Chieftain statue, lawspeaker statue, village idiot statue?

Give them optional poses like mannequins too (but permanent once constructed)
