Hi guys,
I simply want to do some brainstorming about this.
I don't want to do this (not yet), because I am not even sure it is a good idea.
(I am neither pro nor contra this. I am very undecided.)
However I have been thinking about this several times in the last years.
(Also had several discussions about that topic with other modders.)
Concept:
1.Currently Profession Rancher works as "Building Profession". (Like "Fur Trader")
I am thinking about making it a "Plot-Profession". (Like "Trapper")
2. For me a Bonus-Ressource on the Map does not mean "something is there".
For me a Bonus-Ressource means "it is very suitable for".
So having Bonus-Ressource Horses would not mean "There are horses." but "It is very suitable terrain to breed horses".
Thus Bonus-Ressource Horses would not conflict with aspects of authenticity and historical correctness for me.
In those times horses were usually bred in the wild and not in buildings.
Rancher was an outdoor profession.
(Talking about historical correctness.)
3. Generally AI would not have any problems to handle that.
"Problem": Natives should still not be able to do horse breeding until they acutally acquired horses by Europeans.
(But this could be solve by coding.)
4. First small "pro": We would have one more free slot in city for other buildings.
5. Second small "pro": It would work similar to Sheep and Cattle in our internal Preview.
