More ideas about armies

No idea why, but my creativity always go into overdrive when I shower :p Today I got lots more ideas about how to handle armies.

One thing is that you should be able to set the armies tactics. An army could have these tactics:
  • Defend
  • Raid and retreat
  • Raid and hide
  • Conquer
  • Search for raiders
  • Patrol
  • Explore
  • Trade
  • Diplomacy
Some of them are done in your own regions, while others can be performed in enemies. Maybe the last three requires a hero in the army.

Second thing I was thinking of was tradelanes. You should be able to open up tradelanes with other regions. The better friend you are with that region's faction the better trade you'll get. You can disrupt enemies tradelanes.

Third was that I have to set up how to move armies. Two ways of moving should be by land and by sea. The XML needs to list which region has which regions you can move to in both way. To move by sea you must have an army with ships.
