Appreciate the feedback. We’re thinking of the idea that was mentioned where the Castles/cities will be ‘protected’ by the household guards. If you murder, you will be wanted so to speak and answer for your crimes or killed if you tried to escape.
This would not be permanent, as we are thinking of having a time limit on say a wanted level.
I hope this project keeps growing. I would love to see a prototype in the future. Please keep us updated about your project. 
Thanks SchnitzelDude. We’re looking to complete the storyboards, history and basic design of the map by the next blog post.
Will be looking to get a website running once we start designing the project, so will look to move our Blog over there instead.
