Suggestion: Limited KeepInventory option in sieges

[VRILGQD]

Due to me simply wanting a custom system of KeepInventory in sieges without having it on 24/7, I've decided to recommend a system of KeepInventory in sieges, whereas it's customizable on how many deaths you can keep your inventory items for. (This could be stylized in the config as "_keep_inventorylimited: true" and "attackers: 5", "defenders: 5".

It prolongs fights in sieges without the worry of losing items after dying once, but gives a system of burnout without people constantly running away as an alternative.

Additional context It could also be used in conjunction with the armor degrading option to add more consequence.

Possible Bugs The only bug I could think of if this option was implemented would be people leaving towns/nation and rejoining to replenish their death count so they never lose their inventory, but there could probably be a way to log whose in a siege and who isn't.

• The indicated requirement of prolonging fights is fulfilled by the current degrade mechanism: The degrade-on-death config setting is already 20% by default, so today soldiers already get (about) 5 death before they lose their inventory.
• The indicated requirement of preventing burnout is now provided by the recently released Daily Player Battle Session Limits feature
• Try using these 2 existing features together, if somehow they still do not fulfill your requirements in the area, feel free to re-open ticket.

I'd like to reopen this ticket, primarily because of the system being fundamentally different then what Goosius suggested to me.

Issue transferred to TownyCombat, as SW will no longer be responsible for keep inv mechanics.

• I had another look at this suggestion, and it is useful to compare it with the existing keep-inv-with degrade features, with equivalent settings for both:
  • Existing feature: You get 6 deaths at 20% equipment degrade, and the next death brings it to 100% equipment degrade.
  • Ticketed feature: You get 5 death at 0% equipment loss, and then the next death is 100% equipment lost to the enemy.
• Thus with ether feature, after 6 deaths, an individual player ends up in the same state....without the equipment
• A key difference is with the ticketed feature, the equipment gets stolen by the enemy.
• Even though I'm not personally enthusiastic to make anything which would help enemies to steal god-sets during war, if someone else wants to add this system as an optional feature to TownyCombat, I would certainly not object. Townycombat is the home of experimental combat features!
