Not always true. All too often, civilians, enraged by armies tramping their lands and foraging, ambushed or simply murdered soldiers, even those from their own army. When caught, like the farmer who had hidden the bodies of ten French soldiers under a pile of hay in his barn, were executed for their crimes. Whether this were just or unjust is up for debate.

We will and have already seen, similar attitudes and behavior in H&H, apart from murdering friendly defenders, because there does not exist a system of justice aside from killing another player to end the crimnal behavior from that character. Unless towns can eventually build jails/stockades whereby ko'd criminals can be prisoned for days/weeks/months, the sole deterrent to criminal behavior is the threat of being summoned and killed.

I want Tomahawk cruise missiles, or at least tomahawks.

What we need is a pay system for said militia when town mayor creates one. Salary would be drawn from mayor's pocket/ town's upkeep ( choose better option) every day. That would somewhat limit endless wars.

The point of this game is sort of endless wars though.

I'm all for orchestrating better village control schemes within salem though. The real limiter on faction sizing is lack of management tools I honestly believe.
It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.

This game allows you to create any system wich you would like to do. But ofc you will need manager.
Simple button or checkbox for everything is too casual.
