I would like the ability to do witchcraft and have won't hunters and trials app players and NPCs In any way shape or form like making woody dolls of other players or use them or NPCs or even livestock for sacrifices in an rp situation I want to have both white and black magic in the game if possible I think it could have a lot of cool implications like sacrificing a lamb or sheep to some god to increase corps health and yield

Not in this game pls! Pls stay realistic!

I remembered develop team mentioned that "no dragon, beholders, vampires and other fantasy stuff" in suggestion channel of official Toplitz discord. One of selling point of this game is reality , not fantasy (including magic).

How about sorcery suspicion quests or season change event ?
Witchcraft will distort the game too much imho. But a big bonfires, everyone likes that right ?

I agree that a whole a full blown magic system might be too much but I do like the idea of some quests or end of season events related to suspected witchcraft. It also might be interesting to have a witch living in isolation somewhere in the valley that has a small quest line.

Let modders do that some day but plz no official Dev team!

Put I do agree that some NPC suspected to be a “witch” would be given a quest to the player to investigate, but in the end the player could recruit her and she would be a very good survival skill NPC. Just make it one of those funny stories why she would have been suspected a witch and some clever reasonable explanation to it 😉

a lot of suspected witches were just herbalists or women who could read. cauldrons were used for washing clothes

That period of time was long after the time MD is situated in. (About 300 years later)

unless MD dates back further than the roman empire I'm not sure about that

The burning of "witches" were a thing, which the catholic church brought up in the 16 th century#

I've read of it happening in rome as well is the only thing

#

The romans had their ways with killing people they did not like.

#

Although they usually used the crucification.

#

Was much cheaper.

#

they also tended to just bury people alive....

The supposed witch could just be a herbalist taking a bigger bite out of fly agaric mushroom than they could handle and having the time of their life...

maybe if it was a mod so some people could enjoy it but personally i like the idea of medieval dynasty staying realistic / not high fantasy

@spice heath I really love this idea ! I hadn't thought of that ! it would be nice to see during a season or part of the little fires light up near the villages.
I originally imagined something more direct against the supposed witches like ... Burning or drown.

granted it was from the BBC Farm series with Folklore expert, Dr. Richard Huttson (think i misspelled his name) who often appears in these series as the expert guiding the team as well as teach them of the different aspects of the folklore of the region in the time period the specific farm series is focused on

#

also the "Smithing" part of the game is technically magic already... the peasants thinking the medieval blacksmith some sort of wizard, taking rock and turning it into usable metal implements

The game needs more to feel like you did hit a dead end wall. I get wanting to kepe it fancy but I mean once you hit iron which some can do fairly quickly it doesn't feel like you have much left

Tell me please, where I am spreading hate.

astral crag
#

Hate is part of the negativity. In your react and your comment.

vestal ice
#

You know, that people may have an oppinion different to yours and they, too have to right to express them?

astral crag
#

And you can express your opinion with out being negative about it. If you were reading my comments I already stated you can post an opinion without being negative all it does is divide the community

vestal ice
#

So I should say "Yes, of cause you are right" or shut my mouth? lol

astral crag
#

When did I say that?

#

You need to reread until you understand

vestal ice
#

Sorry, but perhaps you should calm down a little bit.

astral crag
#

I'm quite calm im actually borderline pasing out right now since it's 5am lol

vestal ice
#

Ok, then I try again: The devs of this game stated more times than once, that they try to keep the game as realistic as possible (whatever "as possible" means), but I think, you will agree, that magic and sorcery are not very realistic.

#

And I don't think, that this is "negative".

fiery fox
#

please stop things there

#

just agree to disagree

astral crag
#

I wasn't saying they were wrong but sure

fiery fox
#

thanx

#

(they were not negative, just a bit heavy on making their point, but anyway, let's stop here, we understand why some want magic and some don't)

astral crag
#

I see glad to know it 👍

#

I agree let sorcery be allowed ☺️ it can be a dlc for those that want magic in their game

to be frank to the op of this post suggestion, magic does actually exist in the history, even today as well, but it doesn't like any one think it is.
for starters, most sorceries and magics came from dark origins like sacrificial animals and innocent lives and using false gods idols like cow or sheep or any thing that are considered as evil and they are connected to Lucifer, the father of sins, through out the history. you might wondering, if there actually good magic? the answer is, it truly is but again, not like everyone imagine
when speaking of good magics, it usually comes from the miracle of the hands of Christ, sorry about this MODs, or from the kind of good acts and unexplainable supernatural things and even from the excluded monks who have meditating themselves in isolated and far from the modern societies for years in order to convert their hard works so the world to become better.
in short, i fully support this idea, but in the case of medieval period or even to these modern days, it hardly to be accepted by the majorities of the communities in this modern times, let alone in the medieval periods and those periods before that, whereas they were strictly banned and those who practiced and used magics and suspected linked to the devil, were being hunted until extinction

Magic doesnt really belong in medieval dynasty as this game isn't a fantasy game and is generally realistic while a fantasy setting could be cool in this style of game it would need to be it's own game otherwise the entire development of realism is kinda meaningless

Religion is a touchy subject for alot of people ao let's not get into that 🙂

well, i guess that depends on the players and the devs who wanting to add changes or new things into the game though

I mean the herbalist is pretty much a witch

# vagrant plume Yes, also they make healing potions, so witch! Burn her!

Nope you are wrong though, healing potions are not actually magical potions in fantasy genre settings
The healing potions that work in real life are not consumed by drinking, but instead they are being used by pouring on the wounds and injuries to act like mending things to get the users speed up the healing process faster

I see nothing wrong with a dlc for this as it will only be optional for those who either want it or don’t want it in their game ☺️and it will also help the devs collect more coin
