Ideas for tweaks to village reputation:

• decrease the range from the village where actions affect rep
• breeding animals raises village reputation, so that a sustainable animal farm does not impact reputation
• removing doors or lighting decreases rep, adding lighting would increase rep (I don't think we can allow adding doors to increase rep without making it too easy to exploit)
• planting and harvesting food will affect reputation, so stealing all the food from a village will make it mad at you, but if you replant, it will balance out (could also lead to exploitation, if you just till all grass and plant seeds; ideally only raised garden beds would affect rep, but that is hard to calculate)
  • maybe to counter exploitation, there would be a max rep gained per villager in the village; a villager can only eat a max of 6 potatoes or 15 wheat and a minimum of 2 potatoes or 6 wheat, so once you reach the threshold of 6 potatoes per villager, no further rep is gained, but if you take more food than the minimum the village needs, rep will drop dramatically

• decrease the range from the village where actions affect rep

Instead of reducing the size of the civilization, I vote we make the rep drop inversely proportional to the distance from the center, maybe a simple linear relation such as 1 - distance/civ_size

We might need to scale the rep up by a factor of 100 to give more resolution

I like both of those ideas.

Some other ideas that I'm pretty sure would be extremely hard to implement would be basic reinforcing of villages:

• replacing wooden doors with iron doors
• Trumping (aka building a wall around it; optionally, kicking out any illegally-migrated villagers)
• adding traps like arrow shooters

Placing valuable blocks will gain rep, breaking them will remove it. Rep amount based of block value.

Finish building village trophy. Taking a trophy will greatly hurt rep. Returning it will give it back. Placing a trophy from another civ will also give rep.

Add a banker that will allow you to carry a balance with that civ. You can deposit or withdraw from any village of that civ. The higher the balance the more rep you get. The banker can also convert currencies.

I think instead of a village trophy, the Village Lord will drop a trophy when you kill him, and that can be given to other village lords. Thoughts?
