Crown of Conquest

[Daycryn]

If you guys still play and don't have any towns yet, switch your allegiance to Tuonela (under kingdom).  I think a war is brewing

If there is indeed a war with Tuonela, Tuonela's going to get whacked. Staberinde FTW!

I have a character running in a mayoral election right down in bottom left corner of the map. If I don't have any success I'll try heading back up into the blue. It seems like there needs to be a bit less red on the map to make the kingdoms level of the game interesting. Although there's so much red that I'd imagine that a few determined players could at least carve out another kingdom somewhere in red territory.

server dead? someone threw a fit? war killed server?

[fodder]

woah.... lots of white dots.

I was away all weekend, wow what a change!  I just took out 8 red towns, very high level chars in them (and made 70K gold in the process).  The kingdoms are actually quite evenly matched now that Summer Isles is gone.  Had I been on during the weekend there'd be a lot more blue.

For the election - if you are going up against an npc, spend about 500 gold, that should clench it.

I don't know why you all picked the blue kingdom. MASOCHISM PERHAPS?

[Azerax]

No - you are randomly assigned when you start.  I was in yellow (Summer Isles) but the king went idle, then another player (Pelarm) went on a 44 town killing spree and made another Kingdom (green) which I became part of..then he quit and Summer Isles was mainly claimed by blue, so it's just a series of random events.

[fodder]

odd.. i'm neutral at start?

so what happened.. someone quit/die?

...btw, is there such a thing as med/large xbow? all i see is small.

[Azerax]

ah you probably started in a neutral town.

[fodder]

don't know... it was right in the middle of reds.. can't even remember which one it is. near top left.

[Azerax]

it sure is crazy right now.  I'm currently in Staberinde's capital waiting for a few more turns before I take it over.  One downside of game-play is you can't attack enemies in town, so I'm safe sitting there.

[fodder]

apparently my garrison in a castle told me that you've been walking past it.

[Azerax]

Ya, I've been on a claiming spree.  If you can cut off a town from a direct land connection to the capitol, the town will revolt, hence all the lines and resulting white dots.

[Daycryn]

How do you take over a town? Is it different from raiding?

[Azerax]

You have to kill the mayor and then go up the stairs (as opposed to casting portal). When you go back up it will ask which char of yours you want to be mayor.  Usually you assign a char then go get your mayor in waiting and then change mayors.

It would be a bad idea right now since everyone is just slaughtering all mayors.
