Supply lines?

[King Yngvar]

I think that it's too complicated for a game of the type of total war; that's more for turn based games...

Total War is turnbased, last time I played BI at least...

In this combat you will begin as a unlucky, destitute peasant.

If such a game were ever made, I would hope that we would not be forced to start as dirty peasants :p

I actually think it's a good idea. I think it'd be too hard, but it seems to be a cool idea especially if planned out correctly.

An other idea I got that stems from this is a supply line on the campaign map from a settlement to a campaigning army. If enemies or rebels were to move onto the roads and choose the "block supply" option, they could perhaps do moral damage to the blocked army.

May be a bit complicated, but I think it'd be a cool idea.
