Adding a political system

[Sephr]

I hope the player being able to control whether people can use the AH or not was a joke, too... They'd pretty much be killed on sight for turning it off.

Generally I'm going to say no, I don't think this kind of thing is a good idea. I think successful private companies should hold some sway over things in the future, though. Also, company forts/housing out in the vast expanses of empty space we have would be awesome.

But that's another thread entirely.

No, they will not be killed on site for turning off auction house, in fact, you are getting the wrong idea. Think of running an auction house as running a corporation, it needs money to run otherwise it goes bankrupt. As leader, it is your responsibility to try to keep that auction house running by collecting enough in taxes otherwise it closes down for your nation and you will be seen as a bad leader. Misusing taxes can result in not having enough funding to run certain services in the city. So, in general, people need to be careful who they elect as their ruler.

I like the idea of having something like that, but not for the 3 starting cities.
They already HAVE leaders, if I may make you remember that..
I don't want something like that anytime soon anyway.
Maybe one day we'll beat the Garleans and have to occupy their towns with our own (player-)leaders?

Yeah, that could work too and it would fit nicely with the lore.
