OH NOES WORK AND THINKINGS

--Loyalty--

# of generics on team

Generally, more people, more conformity, more loyalty. But if you phail as a leader, or don't have as much battle experience (you haven't fought in many battles), more generics may mean more chaos.

# of generics sent to their deaths

Generics are expendable. But if you let them die, theys will haunts you forever. In a battle with another person, you can turn death off so that this stat is not affected. Or leave it on and slaughter endlessly.

Emblems equipped

People listen to leaders with shiny objects.

Time and Activity in Army
Use a person more, give him/her more exp, train him from level one, number of kills the guy got, the difficulty of enemies fought, and other stuff.

Equipment
Give them shiny weapons, emlems, big hats, a Klondike bar, and they'll listen.

That's all I have now.

So the formula for loyalty is 3+3? Sounds easy enough.

I was think more like

y=2x^3 - 4x^2+15

y`=[2(x+h)^3 - 4(x+h)^2 +15 -2x^3 +4x^2 -15]/h

y`= [2x^3 + 6hx^2 + 6h^2 *x^2 +2h^3 -4x^2 -8xh -4h^2 +15 -2x^3 +4x^2 -15]/h

y`=[6hx^2 + 6h^2 *x^2 +2h^3 -8xh -4h^2]/h

y'= limit as h approaches 0 of [6x^2 + 6hx^2 +2h^2 -8x -4h]

y`= 6x^2-8x

How would that work? Would a third person not battling call those things, like a game master?

I think it would be too much to RN, actually. Where the bandits come in, where they move, who they attack, how they attack, what weapons they have, what items they drop. Also, if there are only two people, who would control them? Would they be moving in an endless circle cuz both people want to avoid confrontation?

You know how loyalty is probably going to be annoying to manage, seeing how every unit is an individual? Do you want to make it a bit easier?

We can assign generics into "Sects." You can choose a commander for each sect and call them Generic A1, Generic A2, Generic B1, etc. The commander's loyalty is the rest of the group's loyalty. Many sects means you can have plenty unloyal and plenty loyal sects, but you probably won't keep all your units. A few sects is a gamble. Keep most or lose most.

But just in case, the commander's loyalty starts out a certain amount higher than the rest of your troops so that if you recruit the commander causing everyone else to be recruited, it'll be a struggle to do so. Killing generics and other factors will lower the commander's loyalty, and thus everyone else's.
