Really agree with much of this:
*Map size is fine if you add zones for travel from one “map” to another, each with a truly random generation.
*More diversity between one “Castle”, one “City”, and several “Villages” per random* map.
*Ability to attack Villages, Cities, Castles, Merchants, Guards, ect.. (choosing to be bandits, doesn’t mean you’re still not battle brothers)
And aging is great but not essential for me
