ProjectVRD Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Imagine a mod that populates all the forts and even creates new ones which can be owned/conquered. Even you, the player, can take over/buy forts and thus control the surrounding land. And perhaps even form alliances with some others if you visit and talk to the current owners. Given that Skyrim has aggression settings each fort lord could be different, more placid characters would be more likely to form alliances and perhaps even hand a fort back to their previous owner if they were allies and that fort was attacked by an enemy, while those who are more aggressive would try to expand in a war campaign. You could buy your own fort, or take over one with you followers (providing the mod included a multi-follower addition) and you get NPC guards which have to be paid a salary, how you make money is another thing. Perhaps the Jarl of the hold would pay you a little bit to keep the aggressive ones away, while there is enough space inside some of these forts to put a few stalls and hence they get taxed so to say. Ofcourse you can carry on crusading and the money you make from items you find can help pay along. Most of all, each hold has it's ore vains etc which could add to money. But forts near mines (preferably Gold) would be highly prized, rich and thus the most difficult to take over because it can afford guards! Essentially Ore veins would no longer "run out", but constantly be mined by some workers. If you think about the dynamics, you could be out just exploring and leaving your fort (or forts) in the hands of your followers and guards when a courier runs up to you saying "Your fort is under attack, they need your help!" or "Your ally is under attack and needs you assistance!". A marker can then be placed on the map and a repeating quest in Miscillaneous showing which fort is being attacked. A nice map update could be added, red forts being at war with you... white being unclaimed... yellow being indifferent towards you... green being allies... blue being your own forts. There are lot of things that can happen with this sort of idea. I was wondering if anyody has heard anything about such a mod being in the works?
