Do you guys think people would respect the rules of hoplite warfare in the event of a collapse? If so, my commune might work fairly well
there are aspects of savagery that humans have forgotten

one example is the phrase, "the spoils of war" never had anything to do with plunder and gold, that all belonged to the king.

how would you motivate 1000 serf farmers to go to war for their lord, when all lands and property conquered belonged to the king?

"the spoils of war" is a reference to the women and children of conquered lands.
