Suggestion to improve Donkeys in Tribal Levies

[Iosue Yu]

1 Donkey every 9 Units, I am not arguing against it.

But for a Tribe using 9 Levy Units, they will be separated into 3 Bands. If Food is not shared, then it becomes 3 Units 1 Donkey and 3 other Units no Donkeys x2.

Choose 1 out of the 3:

1. Give 1 Donkey only when an individual Clan Levy Band exceeds 9 Units, that's at least 27 Levy Units to raise, or 36 if 4 Clans;
2. Let Food be shared among Attached Bands; or
3. Stop Donkeys from being included in Levies and let Levies carry more Food, or eat less, or free Food everywhere.

Food should honestly be shared among armies commanded by loyal commanders in the same territory regardless, not just for tribes. It makes little sense to me that one army won't under any circumstance share food with another, starving army in the same territory.

Yes. It's just a tradition here to not make suggestions too ambitious, or you get Red Crosses.

My suggestion is no new design. It's just something about making stuff compatible.

IDK, I've seen some pretty ambitious suggestions which have done really well - some even made it into the game, like removing mana. In my experience, the red crosses come when those ambitious suggestions are aimed primarily at fixing a fairly narrow/specific issue, but do this through implementing broad, sweeping changes that would have big impacts on other areas of the game and mess with the overall game balance. But that's getting off-topic.

Back on topic, you can also get fun situations where one levy will hog more than its fair share of donkeys. Got that fairly frequently when I was playing in Gaul before I reformed - I'd raise three levies, and it'd have three donkeys. All of them would go to the ruler's levy. I guess he owned all the donkeys.

This is also an issue. Please, Arheo, fix.
