First, proposed change to the follower limit

For Merc/Dogs, If we add an extra -1 so its basically Ch/2 -2 rounding up, but then add bonus slots due to speech skill => Speech skill/60 = #extra slots we end up with

Cha 1,2 = None (We can also ban their bonus slots from Speech)
Cha 3,4 = None, but allowed Speech bonus
Cha 5,6 = 1 + Bonus ... etc

This does take us up to max 3 slots from Charisma and a possible 5 extra slots from speech (and one for mag personality) for a total of 9 mercs/dogs ... but that would be for 9/10 Ch 300% speech skill guy with Mag personality.

Brahmin/Slaves

These could then not take up any follower slots, but the amount you are allowed to "own" globally would depend on the number of mercs/dogs you have.

If #Slaves = 1 + (# Mercs*2) then even a reasonably normal character can have several slaves to work for them.  Ch 5 120% speech would be allowed 3 mercs ... so then 7 slaves

Then # Brahmin = 1 + # Dogs. So Ch 5 120% speech guy can have 3 Dogs and these allow him to have a total of 4 brahmin.

While the numbers aren't perfect and don't reflect how different merc types should take up different amounts of slots, it gives the general idea.

Theres also a thread on how mercs and slaves should also have some form of "upkeep" mechanic and be respawnable somewhere ... so I've no idea how followers will actually end up post wipe.

Wait, so if I spent a year building a 9 ch 300% speech character (Which WILL take a year since there is no fa, or doctor, or smallguns, or outdoorsman to spare, kinda like sneaker builds) I would be able to have an even bigger army than now?! :D

Wait...  Oh crap I have this feeling your about to mention nerfing the followers themselves.   NOOOOoooooooooo....  It's simply not worth it!  levelling followers up so they can do die so easily and have to restart!  I am just guessfortelling here, though, but still, seems like the direction its headed, a direction I and I'm sure many others will simply loath or refuse to take.
