    That is quite a lot of roles you got there. I counted 36 in all. How do you plan to distribute them? Are some just for smaller games and others for larger? I have some ideas that would be cool.

    If Stormcloaks/Imperials kill all their enemies they should win or something. hard to implement but you know what I mean. Or maybe the one who kills the others leader gets a small boost?

    The dragon born should have different shouts IMO. Just different text really. Maybe separate the shout text by which team they join?

    Is there going to be a villager type role? Other wise this is just use your action to win.

    Oh shit, forgot citizens.

    Citizens are going to be both stormcloak, imperial and conspirator.

    Yeah, a lot of roles eg dragons and trolls are only for larger games.

    Yeah, thats a good idea. Fus Roh Dah, Fire breath, Frost breath etc are all killing so I'd be able to get some variety in.

    The thing is though, if stormcloaks win the war, that doesn't affect the college etc, and vice versa, so maybe just between the two? Like Elisif converts to High Queen Elisif and gets an extra vote if the stormcloaks all die, and if the imperials all die, ulfric turns into High King Ulfric and get another power.

    Yeah, the boost makes more sense than the winning thing. It is just a small flavor thing that would help make the game a little more enjoyable. At least for me it would. You would have to make sure that both leaders show up in the game at the same time though.

    Well, since Skyrim is based on the civil war, I'm making sure they do.

    I'm going to have to code weaker leaders for smaller games.

    Changes added to OP.
