For giving us suggestion for new things, or perhaps for more background i came up with an idea.
If 2 people, let's say town people stand together they aren't doing nothing. As far as i know town people talk to enough other, tell rumours they heard. Rumours about other people, or even about an evil creature they heard of. Perhaps about strange things that happened in the lands.
So if you let them talk to each other, not all of them, cause that would be too much for you to code and for us to read
Just an idea
