Hamlet Royal Guads: Contradictory firestarting behavior.

[FreyaMaluk]

From General Discussion's post:

Causing fires is, in actuality, such a reverse from guards normal behavior and there is strong evidence from that in Hamlet. Every time u craft a fire camp or fuel it during the day or set things on fire, the Hamlet Royal Guards would go immediately and put it out. That means they understand the risk fire brings to the town and resources. That's why it makes no sense they themselves do the opposite at dusk and night. 

If guards are supposed to protect as in "watch over in order to protect or control," why in God's sake do Pig Guards in Hamlet burn everything with torches at dusk and night?

The Hamlet folk seems to be very smart and their architecture looks refined. Why would they allow Guards to destroy their home? They pay taxes and a clever mayor would ofc reduce the firestarting risk, especially if it's something he can control. Letting Pig Guards burn stuff is really an insult to the Hamlet civilization and its people.

Another aspect to consider is that Hamlet towns have standing lanterns by the side of the roads. There is no real justification on why they need a torch in town at dusk or night anyways. 

And if some light source is indeed needed, I would actually like more the idea of using a rudimentary lantern at night instead. That would definitely look way better and much more in tune with the general aesthetic.

This "lantern" doesn't need to drop quite honestly.
