Morale

[theunfrailhale]

I have 15 slaves that work all day and night and only stop to fight off bandits and heal. an interesting dynamic would be morale, where they need to have a certain number of amenities, and they will auto deviate to do what they need, ie sleep, eat, go to the bath house etc.

Elements that could be involved are;
-baths. I know they're warriors, but if my guys had a bath to soak in they would feel better.
-women to men ratio (if you are an all female warrior band, having a certain number of men does something for the morale and vise versa)
-food. if they used a certain portion of the food they produced, that could be interesting. It would make non-agriculture groups more dependent on raiding/trading. this adds incentive to do more than wander. (note, for beginners, there could also be a beg option, so they could hit ppl up for food if they are starving, though they really should just go glean the drops off a battle, noobs might not know this, or the situation may not allow)
-sleep. I have a bunch of beds. It would be alright if they used them, in shifts.
-clothing. having clothing could make them happy.
-Luxury goods etc.

Random Ideas, i'm certain including some complexity to implement, but its an idea. The game is great as it is, so thanks!

There are already topics about this.

I didnt see anything in a quick scan of the feature requests sticky, so my apologies. I am glad to hear there are things like this in the works already.

An expansion of the idea I had would be a meditation bonus; if a kenshi was intending to go to battle, they could pull out their prayer roll and meditate for a 20% speed/attack bonus, maybe they get to choose which perk they would like, so, they decide to meditate on defense, and they get a 20% defense bonus. Obviously there would be times where they would be caught off guard, and lack the prep time to meditate, but it seems like something samurai/ronin would do.

There are a few topics about combat morale, but in a quick scan of search you're not likely to find any threads specific to the discussion of outpost morale building equipment. Personally I like some of these ideas, and don't recall anyone having mentioned some of them before. Not sure when the suggested ideas was last updated, since it is a little bit out of date with all the recent traffic. The search function is your friend, but in cases like this where you'd have to resort to thread necromancy to find a relevant thread it is perhaps even preferable to post your own.
