Re: Warsim, text based randomly generated stratogy
A handful of randomly generated major noble factions/families/clans within my kingdom And the intrigue and gossip that go with them.
I want to know who is sleeping with who, which one's party sucked, which family member is considered a black sheep for marrying off to a low born or refusing to carry on the family tradition by becoming a merchant or soldier, which group is currently weak do to a bad financial decision or dieing matriarch/patriarch and therefore able to be knocked off or absorbed by the others.
I want accusations of treachery against the crown for personal gain, weather it be withheld tributes from a recent financial gain via a new trade root/large resource cash or an active attempt on my life or thrown.
Basically, any trope you can think of, I want to be able to go to my stewart or diplomat and ask what the latest bullshit is, and then I want to be able to choose sides, make deals, broker peace or play them off against each other, get a cut of the action or cut out corruption from the upper ranks, and I want to see that effect on the world.
From breakaway factions to full out civil war effecting everyone from the peasants to the knights, to houses isolating them selves behind the protection of their guards and allowing no one in, to deadly powerplays in the streets of my empire between private house soldiers and my own, to back room deals fucking over another house with me getting a cut for looking the other way, to attempts at my throne by secretly allying with an enemy kingdom or forming an alliance of two or more houses, sabotaging my assets and turning my army against me and more.
I would love this, and I have lots of ideas for it, but I know it would also take time.
I would also like to see religion, a pantheon of randomly generated gods to choose from with each giving perks or debuffs depending on how much you've pleased them. Some would more demanding than others and require different kinds of sacrifices, from slaves to chaos orbs, and you could ask them for advice or pray for a certain outcome, kinda like a more interactive version of the various stones you can find while exploring.
Building a grand church would help things, and you could also be either accepting or harsh on other religions. You would need to keep your priests happy if you wanted more sway over your population, or you could shut them out and try to keep them from turning your people against you, but be more free to make your own decisions.
Aside from that, just women as mentioned before.
