Factions, towns, and diplomacy.

[simpkin_11]

With the awesome news of diplomacy coming, I was curios of how and if it is tracked on a town level?


Is there a counter that could be used in mods?
What stats are being tracked, that could be used to mod, or manipulate factions and ownership?


Example:

Town: Hub
Current owner: Drifters

Drifters: 75
Ninjas: 10
Holy Nation: 15
Your Faction: 0

And every day you have a war party sitting in the town square, with the local guard dead or driven out, the numbers shift.

Or if nobody from a faction is able to visit, or make it to the town alive in X days or weeks then their influence on the town drops.


After blockading the Holy Nation and sitting in the town for a few days it may look like this:


Town: Hub
Current owner: Drifters

Drifters: 75
Ninjas: 11
Holy Nation: 11
Your Faction: 3
