Make Villages contribute to their respective realms

[DauntlessGolem]

I think it'd be a cool mechanic if villages could gain thresholds to allow their realm to activate more buffs. The idea being that if a village is powerful/big enough, the claim itself acts like a grotesque idol for the realm and allows the realm to push an additional blessing. This would allow realms to feel more like realms than just a capital city with militia, and it would give these realms more reason to protect the villages within their borders. It could also encourage other realms to fight over some of the bigger villages. Makes it so if an apposing realm defeats a big village in another realms border, the blow is reflected at the buffs themselves and the realms grows (a tad bit) weaker.

Perhaps it could be added so that there is a list of requirements for the village, such as a certain authority cap reached, or a simple timegate. It would want to be set up in a away that villages aren't just spat out everywhere, but be integrated in a way that encourages natural play.

Only if powerful villages can also hurt their respective realms if they dislike them.

Last world, I recall some faction people to have their own private V-claims, outside of capital. It might be un-intentionally abused. Probably it isn't this phase yet, but will happen again eventually. (and can be abused totally intentionally).

Yes well in reality making huge fake village that meets the requirements will be beneficial I think.

And no to the comment above, either help or remain same as now because making big villages in opponent territory to mess with their realm will be shit.

I like the idea. But just the positive part.

villages would suddenly become a target of enemy realms

what kind of buff is worthy to have your village go from uninteresting target to a good one? the better the buff the worse it gets for the villlage

Realms could provide protection for these villages.

Villages under enemy realms are already targets by virtue of being under an enemy realm
