I was thinking offensive thief actions and spells should be included in the honor calculations.  With powerful spells such as tornado, its possible for large villages to really inflict some cheap damage on smaller players without worry of honor, and on the other note its possible for a small village to harass larger villages knowing they cannot use military to retaliate.

Oh how fun it is for such small villages to "harass"

Yea, it is being considered. Actually, I agree with what you're saying.\nSo all I need is Vilmore's approval and time to implement it.

OK

On beta another player and I have just been wrecking each other... all too easily.

Just curious if this is something being considered.  As it stands wizards/thieves can really just circumvent the honor system but still inflict as much or more damage than conventional attacks.

I'm thinking that wizards may somehow hold the solution to the big vs. small player issue.  If spells cost less for small players attacking large players than small players attacking other small players, and significantly less than when large players attack large or small players, then we have incentivized (at least partially) smaller players attacking larger ones.  Further, if spell effects decrease at some rate with size increases, and the base level (pre-decrease) is especially high, then smaller players may be inclined to attack larger ones and inflict as much damage as possible.

My argument would be that there is a finite amount of "Magic" in an area, and that such magic decreases as a village grows and becomes more industrialized.

But... Magic?

I have some sort of unnatural fascination with the magic system... I am not sure if I like this
