Well, I suppose a way to fix the nomad thing would be to cut out the Herbal Remedy, and if you already live on an island without gold, you're probably going to go pick some up on a mining expedition.

Not to mention most people get Bento Hides for themselves anyways, so picking up an extra shant be hard, so there goes that.

As for the raider tool, I see what you mean. Perhaps I should cut down the range from 100 to 75-50? And as for the barracks decrease it to maximum 10 studs from the Guard Former, so that Raiders would have to get pretty close to use them at a fort/castle, which typically isn't possible considering you may be being shot at. Being shot at? Heh, you go make a slingshot and fire at a mainland castle. They'll only have swords. Silly noobs.

Anyway, I agree if you cut out the herbal remedy you should be fine for the nomadic thing. You're right about bento-hide and gold.

Raiding is an issue that will be difficult to fix. Heck, you could "Defend" a ruined tribe, and prevent them from going back. You could even "Defend" all the spawnpoints. That's a player deterrent and a half. Not only this, but the NPC AI in this game gets as advanced as what you see in a bento buck. So no going up slopes, no navigating past a wall, and therefore no killing people on any island except stonewall, desert, or mainland. Well, imagine this: A mithrilite with a lot of extra mithril and bento hides, and perhaps bread and coin decides to make some Guards.

Say he has 12-16 mithril, each Guard takes 4 ores (including armor) so now he has 3-4 mithril-claden Guards.

I think leaving it at Iron is best for fair gameplay, but it's subject to change. :P I'm confused. Where is the OP bit? I'm seeing a massive cost for a handful of super guards that are about two times as powerful as a regular one. All islands (excluding one, or two if you count the new map) with mithril have iron, and in most of those cases you can also make steel. 20 iron guards will cost much less than a handful of mithril ones, and I know what I want outside my castle.
