I was wondering if the Companies system would be like Campaign from FFXI. Not a carbon copy but something like it and then made even better.

I hope it makes the camps we have like Bloodshore, Horizon, Broken Water and so on come under attack from Beastmen and other unknown foes and we have to fight to keep the camps under our control. They could incorporate Behests to be kind of an attack mission on the local Beastmen stronghold. While a camp is under our control we could have bonuses for Leves there and maybe decreased anima cost to teleport to it, things like that.

We could run supply missions to the camps to deliver supplies to top up our defences and boost our NPC forces or even our own troops.

Gatherers could infiltrate their stronghold to steal resources maybe, or miners could dig away at their foundations and botanists could chop down wooden supports. Not sure how fishing would work with that though, steal their food supply of fish from the pond???? lol

Crafters could make weapons and gear for the NPC troops and also carry out repairs on it too.

The possibilities are endless really and I am really excited about it as SE seem to think it is something they are going to be proud of.
