Trusts and squadron

[Jandor]

To flesh out a little further on the overarching system thing, it could be done sort of like the Doman reconstruction.

So, going back to ARR when you first join a GC. They come and recruit you, because you're you they give a special area to work on.
At first it's just empty land, a rough progression might go something like:

- Add some striking dummies and a stable for your bird.
- Add some GC vendors in tents.
- Get a Huntmaster to move in.
- Get some permanent brick built facilities up.
- Unlock your squadron and move them in.
- Unlock using your squad in dungeons.
- Unlock trust system for story NPCs. (They slot into the list with your squad, with special abilities but less customization because they're story NPCs.)
- Maybe can build special facilities depending on recruited NPCs. (library for Alphi, bar for Thancred, etc.)

Overall, just one place and one set of systems for your NPCs and (to a degree) GC stuff.

Edit: I mean, going crazy, you could stick a house in there too. Let people decorate it all, add housing vendors along with hunt and GC vendors. Make a full little GC themed estate with your recruits and NPC friends visiting from time to time.
