Lo-Fi Games

I have a suggestion regarding troops and experience, was wondering if it would be possible to promote units that hit certain criteria. I think it would be handy to have say a promotion to guard and this person then gets a bonus to stats and can become a town guard? Further promotions could also follow given the correct criteria are hit, possibly even branch into new rolls such as diplomat, merchant etc. Not sure if this is already been suggested (couldn't find anything) - so sorry if it has but I thought this would be a good idea, if feasible, and if people like it.

I don't believe promotions within a faction should give flat stat boosts since your characters' stats should be earned by performing the appropriate work rather than just slapping a chevron on your sleeve.

Perhaps promotions could earn your character (should you choose to employ yourself as a guard with a faction) a higher wage per day for performing duties appropriate for the post.

There could even be amenities within the town walls that can only be used once you've reached a certain rank within the faction, such as sleeping in a free bed, getting medical attention for free, or speaking with the town governor.
