Rebuilding Process

[Zakilevo]

One thing I have noticed is that the big factor which stops wars in BM is the whole rebuilding process.

Some realms, after a war, take only a month or two while realms devastated take 6 months even.

I think any realm or region should recover within 3 months so they can go to war.

I don't agree, serious damage should be serious damage. I do think we could change the recovery curves, however - make initial progress faster, and later progress slower.

[Zakilevo]

Oh that will do the trick. Maybe let it recover up to 70% pretty fast and let the rest be slower?

If losing a war doesn't have serious consequences, where's the point of fighting it?

For the fun of it?

The impression I've gotten is that the more destructive war has become the less we see it.

I think losing your regions is pretty severe...

I mean no war for 6 months is too long. Regions should recover enough to start another war in half of that. After all we are playing battlemaster.

In my experience it's not the impact on regions that's the problem but the drop in morale amongst players on the losing side. Fontan's regions were ready to fight a major war within three months of the peace with Sirion and aside from Ashforth we were year zero on infrastructure.

I completely agree.

Going to war feels pointless if your enemy will be back on his feet the instant your army moves away.
