Wish-List for Dominions 4

[HoneyBadger]

I'd like to get rid the bad events that dispose of gold you've already earned. There are ways around this, so it doesn't really serve a purpose except to punish newbies, and it doesn't really make the game better, because it's rather harsh.

Ok, I'm all for bad events that lower your income from one round to the next-temporarily or more permanently, but outright robbery? If you're going to do that, then let us as players take steps to protect our righteous loot.

Let us build stronghouses, assign guards, and cast protection magic.

Otherwise, let us keep the gold we've earned 3 turns ago and only take from the gold we earn this turn, so that we don't have to perform actions of dubious merit just to keep ahead in the game.

Which events are those? Snowfall costs 100 pounds, etc., but I thought those came from your income for the current turn. Are you saying that if you spend all your money in advance that those events don't hurt you?

No, there's a robbery event. I don't remember the specific message, but I have seen it.

I wonder if it only happens if you have some set amount left in your treasury at the end of the turn. Though it would be funny to read: "Robbers broke into your empty treasury and stole your last 3 gold."

I was robbed once by a Master Thief who stole a whole bunch of my gems. Ouch! Maybe if you have no gold he takes your gems instead.
