What if we changed "sack" so that it said "pillage?" I think that this would fit into the type of game we are playing a bit more.

sack=pillage...whats the difference?

They are the same thing. It's a meaningless distinction.

Thats the point.

I'm not saying we should change the function, I just think "pillage" would be a lot cooler.

Shadow

honestly i think there are more important aspects of the game that need development

We aren't Vikings, besides, sacking and pillaging are essentially the same thing.

Which would you expect to hear in the book?

taekwondokid42

That is a very good way to solve the issue.

I wouldn't expect to see either in the book. I would expect to see Plunder. Maybe we should change it to plunder?

Gen. Volkov

Depends on the situation. If it was a raiding party, I'd expect to see "pillage" or "plunder", if it was a city that has fallen to enemy troops, I'd expect to see "sack". But they all mean exactly the same thing.

My official stance is Plunder, because that is the word Brian Jaques uses in the Redwall series.

After all, this is REDWALL warlords...

things never improve if things are never changed and risks are never taken.

Shadow

correct me if im wrong, but that sentence makes no sense...

there are more important things that need changing in the game than the question of which word best describes the action. they both mean the same thing...
<=holbs-.. ..-holbs=> <=holbs-..

lol. Sorry about the not-making-sense-thing, there was a typo.
