Banditry

BANDITS! ROBBERS! PIRATES THIEVES!!!

There is a faction made for these players, a faction that only contains the common Ruffian and their Bandit Leader

Information
These bandits care not for religion, therefore their faction doesn't get affected by religious doctrines, or political ones. They cannot build towns but only Encampments and Strongholds. They can still colonize territory. One Bandit Leader can only hold one province. Bandits have 100 Troop point capacity PER PLAYER during wars.

Bandit 'Cultures'
There are multiple types of bandits, most common of all being the Ruffian Brute ones. Each culture is specific to the region the bandits are located in.

Extortion
These bandits cannot declare normal wars through political power, but they can spend up to 5k silver to declare their 'Extortion Raids'

'Wars'
Bandit leaders can declare either Extortion or Bandit Migration Wargoals.

Extortion wargoal, when used on a province that holds a settlement. The production will be under bandit control where the Bandit leader gains its spoils for One Month on top of the prize of silver gained from winning the war.

Bandits without being able to ally with others, and if they feel the need to help out the Kingdoms of Middle Earth, they can volunteer and bring their troops alongside with them.

Passive Extortion
If you have a bandit camp or stronghold in anothers factions territory, you passively take 50% of the resources produced by the province.

Razing
Bandit leaders can raid a provinces towns they captured, destroying some of the buildings (staff help with that) and unrecognizing the town entirely. Each raided town provides 10,000 Silver coins OR their production. At the high cost of another factions loss.

Structures
These structures is what defines what you control, each one you build offers you a place to hide all your loot. But since when you take control over a province doesn't require any political power there is a cost of 2500 Silver Coin. But look on the bright side! You get a free NPC Spawner of the Bandit Culture. OR a Captain if you are a Corsair. Make sure they look aesthetically pleasing.
