Looking for an "Impartial" opinion from the community...

[Mansler 5]

So, I am not going to lie, I am not feeling like the Devs are really listening to the community. Because it is common for people to project their opinions, onto society, I was hoping people would give their honest feedback on a few currently hot topic issues, to see which it is.

As for the poll here are my more detailed answers.

1.) Companies should not be allowed to be more than say 20 + 10 per land claim or something like this. 

2.) Land claims should be "unlimited" with the exception that Each flag should:

1. Require materials to build.
2. Require materials and gold (or an NPC Guard/Handyman) to maintain.
3. Allow for a resource chest to be used to maintain all buildings in the influence area.
4. Not protect against decay, a resource chest with materials is required to repair damage.

3.) I would personally like to see stone things take bricks and mortar to make, mortar should be made with paste, the assembly of a wall could use a trowel which is a metal tool available in the advanced building skill.  Otherwise it should be Stone and mortar, no metal.

1. The limit for company size should be at max. by 150, for more they can have allies!
2. A company should have initial 3 flags (Main Base) and expand only by 2 per member
   per grid to still make it possible to claim / fight for terrain.
3. Stone should stay vanilla like it was for Ark, to prevent the fear they could barricade themself,
   add war machines like moveable battering ram / catapults (not only per animal, pushing too!)
   and make it realistic vuln against explosives (ballancing) and burning tar.

Although we see differently on a couple of these issues, the only one in particular I am going to "pick on" is your #3, primarily because I think the OrganicPaste should be replaced, because let's be honest, sugar isn't used to make mortar. My personal opinion, is that they need to have you grind stone, and flint, and add them, with some water, to the mortar and pestle. Primarily because, it's still ridiculous, IMO, to have to travel that much, just to make some stone walls, but also because, IRL, mortar is pretty much made that way .

I'm totally cool with a different style of mortar.  I was going with something in game that seems to be the current trend.
