Hi, i was just thinking about something Vortan said a while back. That it's illogical that in standard wok all pop just dissappears during a game and even that armies work for free. So i was thinking...why not run a hybrid game! A cross over between standard and advanced wok!
It will basically be standard wok (so no magic and no feeding your people), but players will have to run a (simplified) economy.
Basically it will be pop, pay gold in taxes, gold is used to pay your army. If you don't pay enough you lose eff.
This way all players will have to keep pop around and they will have to defend their pop otherwise their armies will be seriously weakened.
This will require some manual work for a gm (keeping track of gold and if necessary change the EFF level of a player). But that shouldn't be too much work.
So what do people think? It might be a nice gateway setup for people to try advanced wok after they've tried this.
