Exactly. The current contracts are tame in terms of risk and reward, so well-paying jobs that also punish failure would be a great addition. I can also see it kicking off an event sequence if you happen to fail and have to deal with the family of the dead noble. Fellow mercenaries coming after your head. :D
I’m just holding out hope for multiple expansions. A game like this just gets better the more content you pump into it. Norse invaders. Byzantine empire. Slavic kingdom. The Spanish. The French. Dutch, Portuegese, Rus. Sea travel. More in-depth cities. Struggles between nations. More units for all the factions. Etcetera .
