Vassalage

[StalkerSleem]

There is an interesting idea with the vassalage of villages in the kingdom. The Hartlings join the village through an oath. In the same way, village heads can be attached to a kingdom by being sworn in by the king. Vassal villages increase the prestige of the kingdom.

Of course, you can attach a lot of interesting things to this, for example, limiting the expansion of territories if the kingdom has no/few vassals. But first it is interesting to know your opinion about the vassalage

i personally have an problem with how realms extend, and would like too see an change where you would actually conquer people and make allies too expand, instead of groups from god knows where , just pissing on trees all over the world, untill nothing is unclaimed.

the problem with an vassalage system is, that an huge part of the people living in an realm have nothing too provide for it exept the rare dropps they already carry too the market . and if getting forcefully conquerred had any downsides(taxes,tributes.etc) people would just quit, same way they doo once they get raided, and there settlement razed. thats why we have the current mechanic, where kingdoms may or may not grant free buffs for everyone that sets an foot in it, ,while generating its "taxes" out of thin air.

and if we base the succsess of realms on things like the number of subjugated/sworn in villages people will once again proove 5 alts make an more "effective" than any unestablished group can.

i mean , if you want too spamm exp/authority, you can just kill all spruces on your continent and make dozens times the income, by just ferrying alts between local recources,

I would love to see some more depth with the kingdoms, possible alliances, maybe alliances would be the only way to recieve the kingdom buffs.

Love the idea and hope jorb and loftar would have a serious thought about this one.
