Just a new idea that popped into my head. Has anyone thought of the possibility of adding another personal layer of depth by being able to recruit, in some fashion, deputies and other lawmen to your precinct that have their own names? If it's ever possible, maybe give them dedicated stats that grow and increase over time, unless they are fatally shot? Maybe for balance, they could be "killed" a few times, but really just be under bed rest and come back with, say a bandage on their head or hand for a while like I've seen the shopkeepers do? After a few downs, they die forever, if the option is/can be enabled?
I think that could even be implemented wherein only members of your direct posse of lawmen have stats, so as to lessen the programming burden and spread.
