Can change dutchy allegiance, Can't make a new realm as duke

[DamnTaffer]

I just noticed that as the Duke of a dutchy which has a city in it, which i'm not lord of, I can change the allegiance of the dutchy to a different realm, but not start a new realm? Is this intentional or...

How long have you been duke?

So far as I know, secession should be possible right now. Perhaps there is some bug in the fact that you're not the lord of a city...

I've been duke for over a month I think, definately more than the normal requirement of two weeks, the city however, has only been in the dutchy for a few days.

Sounds like a bug to me.

[DamnTaffer]

Oh, I thought it was a feature

A duke, even one who is not a lord, should be able to secede, as long as there is a city or stronghold in his duchy.

Is your character in the city or in his duchy? I remember talking about this while we were planning out secession in the new estate system, but I honestly can't remember how we finally decided to do it. Tim probably remembers, as he wrote the code.

I'm in the region within the dutchy where I am lord, I shall see if the button is there from within the city, If not I assume I should jsut make a bug report?

You mean that you are lord and not duke and you can secede?

[Indirik]

Yes, I would say try it while your character is physically in the city itself. If you still don't get the option, then I would report it as a bug. (Since duchies can now have more than one city/stronghold region, I seem to recall that the location of your character when you secede determines the location of the new capital. And since only city/stronghold regions can be capitals, you have to be in one of them to secede. That region becomes the capital of your new realm.)

I would try to test it on the dev server, but someone *cough*Tim*cough* has been testing the autopause code, and the data is royally screwed up...

No, he is duke and lord, but not the lord of the city.

[DamnTaffer]

Am in the city, and do not have the option to create a new realm, this could possibly be because of the region being new.
