I have a small deed, 61x21, maybe 70-100 tiles of farmland. I keep cows, breed horses, and am looking into the viability of chickens (of which I have 6-8). To maintain this, a semi-daily routine must be followed. 1. Tend crops for the horses. This can be done by either tending all fields, harvesting ready crops, and replanting. But can be done quicker by tending ready crops, and harvesting, then replanting. But this doesn't yield much usable harvest beyond replanting, only sustains the fields for the horses. 2. Tend cow pens and milk the cows for milk and cheese. I currently have 5 cows, a bull, and a breeding pen. The cows are in 2x1 pens, the bull is in a 3x2 breeding pen. Calves are moved to the breeding pen with the bull until they fatten, at which point they are slaughtered in the barn for meat, hide, and animal products. Calves are occasionally allowed to mature if I need to replace a milk cow. Cows are milked at leisure and the milk either consumed, stored, or made into cheese. The 16 farm tiles in the pens are tended and replanted as needed. 3. Tend horse stalls Beyond the 4 horse pastures, I have a Stable with 9 2x1 horse stalls. These stalls house riding horses, draught horses for carts, as well as horses maturing for either of those uses that don't need to be in the breeding pastures. The stalls are partially indoors, so there are only 9 farm tiles that need tending. 4. Feed chickens Inside the barn, there are about 7 hens and a rooster. Since they do not graze, I cut 100 wild grass and drop it in a few tiles. I also collect the eggs. Right now, it doesn't seem like hens are very productive so this might need to be switched to other non grazing animals like pigs, at which point I would need to build a pig sty. All this is done to maintain a regular flow of food for myself, and all the animals. This allows me to breed horses. My problem is the amount of time it takes to do all the farm tasks leaves me little time to hunt, explore, work on my fighting and smithing skills, or continue construction of the deed. Also, I'm very paranoid about my stuff and my land. I don't have anyone else on the deed right now because I'm paranoid they'll wreck my deed, take my things, or kill my horses. So, my question is, what is the liklihood of finding someone willing to basically play as a Serf on my land? They would be restricted from attacking non-citizens, restricted from terraforming, possibly restricted from leading, and possibly locked out of my buildings. I would also want them to regularly perform the farming tasks. In exchange, they would have sole access to a home I would construct for them, all crop harvests not used for replanting, all milk from the cows, all newborn calves to do with as they see fit, well bred horses as my stock allows, all unwanted foals, access to their own on-deed mine so long as we agree on its design, protection of the templars, as well as anything else I can provide for that doesn't harm me or my land. I feel like I would do this if I was a free player or player without a deed of my own, if I had the time. Are my terms out of line? Would anyone ever accept this? Does anyone currently have people on their deed in this sort of capacity?
