Wot!? I didn't know this was possible lol

I didn't have any other idea to eradicate too short trade lines, to limit the number of traders and forbide players to totally rely on trading. I do agree with you @wowgetoffyourcellphone but your still allow to trade within your city which should not be possible. You don't trade with caravans in one sole city, caravans are trading between cities and ideally between two allies. Btw the way I'm not saying your solution is bad. I'm not saying my solution is better too, but I didn't find any other solution to achieve the 3 goals I talked about in the beginning of the message. I still think my solution is a too harsh "punishment" (I would rather call it a limitation). I think it's not the best solution but it's the only one I finded that matches with the 3 goals. @niektb, if you have a better solution tell it

Maybe traders could have a food or wood cost? Or maybe both? I don't know if this could work or if it would be too punishing. For example, at each arrival to a market or a dock, there's a cost of 30 food and 30 wood. By doing this, you would force the player to go on gathering because trading would not make the player gain enough food or wood to rely on the trade to have the 2 main resources. And it would by the way eradicate short distances trade lines. This would be a great change.

Yeah, that's true but I was talking about only about infantry

This is valid for almost every armoured fighters from Roman legionaries to "heavy" plate armoured knights

This is not always true and in fact most of the time false. For example, Roman legionaries used to train in armour with a training scutum and a training gladius twice as heavy as the actual ones. The weight of a Roman lorica hamata (mostly used in the period of the game, the lorica segmentata or laminata came in the first century AD) was about 3.5 kg (not so heavy). Weight of a scutum: 6 kg (they used to train with 12kg scuta) Weight of a gladius: 1.2-1.6 kg (they used to train with twice as heavy weapons again) Weight of a pilum: 2 to 5 kg (they had 2 pila) So the total weight is 17.7 kg to 21.1kg on average so that would not slow people who used to train everyday with approx 30kg The weight was distributed on all the body and they throw their pila before the melee fight so 4 to 10 kg disappear at the beginning of the combat I just wanted to clarify this, well armoured people being slow is a myth.

This analysis is excellent Very good job

Thanks for making me discover this game It looks really cool

Have you chosen something yet?

I know these are few things and not that inspired words but it's hard to find a word starting with "C" and meaningful about the Anglo-Saxons. I'd say my best proposition is Comitatus. It's meaningful. It was used by the Anglo-Saxons even if they didn't make any reference of it under this name. And, last but not least, it could make players learn what Comitatus is.

They used a sort of Comitatus system but they never mentioned it as Comitatus by the way. But historians do.

I think this could fit very well : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comitatus_(classical_meaning) EDIT : because the French article is better if you understand it https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comitatus

Here are some Anglo-Saxon king's names with their wikipedia links : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuthred_of_Kent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coenwulf_of_Mercia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceolwulf_I_of_Mercia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creoda_of_Mercia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coenred_of_Mercia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceolred_of_Mercia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceolwulf_II_of_Mercia

You can use Caledonian no?

This doesn't work when the guy who has left stupidly laugh at you like the child he probably is...

It's the same for the non-host you know. You can close the game window or even quit the game by clicking on quit=> I will come back It happened to me 2 days ago and I was winning...

Weird. I've never ever saw it.

I guess it's a bug since you can see blue, red and green shields on the buildings.
