Villages depend on Resources to function

Villagers should depend on the resources from other villagers to sustain their stats and trades. These stats include health, hunger, and charisma. These stats will affect their work ethic, survival, and generosity towards the player. An example would be a farmer trading with a baker the materials to make a cake, and a family buying the cake to keep their children fed. This would give a lot of mechanics to villages that players can play and spend a long time with.

  A cool situation that could come out of this could be two villagers competing for resources, leaving the player having to figure out how to take down the rival village, so their village can thrive. You can burn down and kill the residents, but if there's a reputation mechanic, an overt offense like that could have penalties, encouraging the player to think more tactically.
