You're all going to be eating a little piece of me from now on.
at least the one linked at the start of the post
So is this how it works?
Nom nom nom
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Okay so a few thoughts on the system as it sits. First and foremost I think it's a great addition to the game, and was just talking to someone the other night about having something resource intensive being something I would like to see.
1 - Lack of actual comms to produce the mines. Making Iron one of the two required commodities has made Iron completely vanish from -all- comm markets in the game and make the price nearly triple in just over an hour. While this is probably intended, it inherently led to people with a huge cache of commodities dominating anyone else that even tried. Spending the Iron to get a Mine going is pretty expensive now that everything has settled a bit more, so it leads to the "haves" dominating the "have-nots", which may not really be an issue going forward, except for point 2.
2 - There is no way for someone that opens a small mine, to realistically level their miners/defenders/attacker enough over the said "haves", because a Large mine is going to net more experience than a Medium or Small mine. So, in two weeks Ahmet and Silas will be untouchable by anyone else because their far and away more experienced crews. This is also an issue considering you can't even level a soldier -without- a mine. See point 1 about getting a mine. So realistically taking a stronghold, or even a mine, is going to be a very hard thing to actually manage.
3 - Scarcity of mines. Most of the mines were taken up within about 30 minutes of the system being implemented. Leaving those that had no chance to purchase the needed commodities (logged out, etc) or couldn't find them, sorely behind in the "race" for first. As of now, I just walked most of the strongholds and out of the ~40 rooms available for mines, there may be 1 mine per area that's not taken up. See point 2 as to why this is an issue. Once the mine is taken, there is no way to take it over without...having a mine. Seems to be a flaw in the system in my opinion. If you weren't here to start up when everyone else did, you're essentially screwed in regards to actually getting a mine and leveling your people.
Just my observations!

Suggestions:
1) Allow armies to gain experience in battle (defensive and offensive) on top of by guarding the mines. That'll give wandering armies and stronghold garrisons a chance to level up too.
2) While I think having a -1 to attacker level is a good idea, I think that level 1 should be a floor value under which no army could drop. That would give level 1 armies some chances to do damage, train, etc.
3) (if not already the case) Mitigate huge wandering armies by making sure that room space is respected by them, that is, if you can't fit more than 60 units in a small mine, I doubt you can fit 500 attackers into it either.
Also, it would be nice to have the ability to UPGRADE MINE.
Unless I'm mistaken, if you put a small mine you have no way to later change it without losing the mine via no gold, or mining it out.
Also I idea'd these in game but:

Not sure what your concern is. There are only two people that even have a chance of taking a mine from you, and their soldiers are being used to defend their mines.
