I would rather see some change to boring raid/reraid system

Its just war without results, which lasts ages. Empire can be strong like hell but it can not conquer a small village - Balator.

Tribunal can gather billion of coins but they can not just put an enforced guardsmen post at the gates, which wont let criminals in and which will shout via cb that they are attacked.

Thats just boring system. Bring fun to it. And sorry to disappoint you, Daevryn, but I met cabals/clans in every MUD I've played. Not many of course, but still. CF has nothing really different.

Another popular MUD has good feature at least: if you raid others you get some small but nice bonus, like -5 to svs and such. That makes things more funny.

Many newbies wont go in cabals. And I dont seek they needed to be there.
