Death is excessive in most cases. Fines never worked though. Fines almost always went right into the pocket of the guy with the badge, which didn't exactly encourage fairness when the law was on the line. > I am very in favor of people gaining permanent flags after so many offenses. Habitual criminals should be kicked out of their hometowns after awhile. But that is probably more extreme than what you wanted. you could do a combination of the following. just a thought
Allow for certain amount of ticks after the placing of a flag (which can be removed by a fine) for the person to go to a certain mob to pay the fine (guard captains in any of the cities).. until fine is paid, shopkeepers will not deal with you. Make the time for this as short as required.
Fine could be type of crime * rank or something cos growns ups should know better.
