think of the villages this way, you get a contract from one faction (thinking of different factions controlling different villages/castles/towns on the map, great addition for the game i think i hope they add it) to raze a village of an opposing faction, if you accept, you are no longer welcome in the one factions territory, but are friendly with one faction, as long as they pay up… Basically you should recieve a price drop in goods or somethin as a reward for not being able to go in one faction’s land, along with the gold from the contract. idk that was what i was thinkin
