the thing that kept me returning was all the simulation,
experimenting and seeing what happens with what you have created and set-up.
I would love to see more of this.
like:
a Way to become a faction leader.
Hiring friendly faction NPC's recruiting FOR friendly factions,
Selling items and gear/food/supplies to allied factions - and seeing the items in the world.
painting your gear/buildings, colors, and symbols, patterns. customizations on certain things. like an attachments: Flags, metal plates, blades, spikes.
NPC's moving into your towns. paying taxes, asking for your help, protection.
Seeing what you've created get utilized by the AI and world states.
extortion, gangs, propaganda, murder.. in your towns. via mercenary companies, and drug lords, rising warlords, or petty criminals.
being able to hire workers, without having to control them, or manage. the option to hire NPC's that work for you as long as you keep them happy.
missions. related to faction and theme.
Bars in your town that function as bars.
functioning barracks, police station, nightclub, drug dens.. all with NPC's coming to use them.. providing opportunities for some fun along the way. maybe it brings in a murderer, or a thief, or a great warrior to convince to join you.. so many possibilities..
Being able to take over towns and cities, so they dont just become ruins.. either diplomatically, economically, or by force!
more interaction with caravans and merchants..
banditry, robbing. but being able to do so *peacefully*
"we just want your gear and supplies, no-one has to get hurt here"
so many ideas i have thought of and forgotten..
but pretty much anything that you can play with, and see what happens.. which is what is so great about Kenshi 1.. just MORE! more more more...
Thank you.
