I think that there should be the choice that you can establish networks, along the lines of the Theives Underground. What I mean is that you should be able to found a group with bases in all cities and you can recruit members into it, which are then available as followers.
You're thinking of something like the factions in Morrowind, just a bit more advanced? I'd love that. The ability to join a guild, advance in ranks and eventually become Da Mastahâ„¢, and then expand the damn thing... world domination can be so sweet. Oh, and welcome to the forum and all that. :wavey:
Now THAT would be cool. "Join 'The Followers of Nasrudin Incarnate' if you want your soul to achieve salvation! The great Nasrudin Reborn will lead you to greatness, if you join us." Ah, the effects of well-placed propaganda... And maybe afterwards you could lead all your followers to war and conquer your very own kingdom. All hail the king!
I agree whole heatedly with this idea (glances at map of Arcanum, planning location of new capital city) Also welcome Viper I was wondering how long it would take for you to show up here after I told you aboul HoL.
