Social Classes

The additional stats would break the game. Peasants get like 20 extra and travelers 10 O_O

completely agreed there i think that it is a good idea but it needs to be weaker than what it is at the moment so it isn't a massive game changer

I think it is quite good the way it is. This would need about half a year to make and about a year to balance.

well 10 bonus stats is good, but not game breaking. But i will admit 20 is REALLY pushing it. Perhaps I could make it a even spread bonus, where you can't pick where they go. So every 4 levels they get +1 to all stats which would end up as +6 to all stats (level 1 they would get +1 then level 4,8 etc), and traveler would stay the same.

Noble seems like its effectiveness would not change at all based on effort/skill/initiative/anything else. this may be how you wanted it, i dont know

might as well rename traveller to powerleveller

Edit: they are both bearable though

For noble its a question of how much i can make money matter really. The plan is for their special shop to have super mercs basically and for them to need a lot of gold to support them and get exp.

ummmm super mercs? that seems a little OP if they can buy god

list of ideas to do with social classes:

-change noble to merchant or trader (most nobles were merchants or traders anyway)

-the clergy is pointless and should be removed (maybe make a clergy and anti-clergy the anti gets money for bad town happiness which would make it good for cultists and dark wizards AND ninja's )

-traveller is good but needs to actually have a way of making money rather than killing monsters... maybe make a few jobs available like woodcutter and the delivery jobs or something like that...

How the fuck does "super merc" make you think of "god", Jamamar?

updated original post

Tl;dr , sorry, but maybe trader? Somewhat fits under traveler. And by the way, did you know that the four social classes that card suits were based on were church (hearts), royalty (diamonds), warriors (clubs), and peasants (spades)?

meh... after a deliberating on my own thoughts i decided that i will just wait until diaster makes the version then i will give idea's to improve the social classes and balance them out

Just a few ideas Diaster for the social classes

Traveller
I agree with letting take some jobs such as Woodcutter or fisher. Maybe add a Hunting (edit) job for them so they can kill animals for furs and such for money.
Also maybe such as a bounty hunter job? Like in day one lets say bandits give more gold and so on ending up at dragons giving most gold just so the Traveller can make some cash.

Noble
I would think the Noble is well off but maybe make them a little less King-Based so like when/if they own land the start taxing those people. I know you said chickens for cash but I think doing it this way is much more medieval since Chickens are more peasant-y. (Yeah i know this doesnt make scense but just something for thinkers).

Peasant
I agree with the farming thing as I also said above like being able to own a farm and make herbs and animals and such. (sorry i dont have much to offer) Because peasants would seem lame and boring if its just jobs again.

I dont know what about the other ones so these are my only ones.
