Zombie Duke?

[Poliorketes]

A friend of mine have a problem.  ::)

The Capital of his realm is starving, and have a inactive duke (of Royal status). He thinks this duke was to be paused in one day or two, but now, with the access date 'reset' He will be in his position another 7 days! so the city is going to be starving for at least 9-10 days.  :P

Someone knows some way out of this?

[Zakilevo]

Well can't really blame the guy. I mean we just had that DNS issue. Sirion has two dukes who haven't returned and their cities are starving...

[Perth]

Stab him and cross your fingers?

We had the problem in Kindara a while back. We ended up losing the city. You might be able to get him out with an infiltrator, but if the city has any militia it would be tough. Best option would be a priest to auto de fe the city.

Thanks for the replies!  ;D

An infiltrator could wound him, but him is inactive already, so it wouldn't speed things... The Auto da Fe?... Seems interesting! No characters of mine are priest... what it does?

If you have sufficient religious following in a region and the Lord isn't of that faith, a trained priest can take control of the city. Militia will attempt to prevent this.

Militia should not, mobile troops should.

This is a rough situation. The royal duke is margrave of the capital, and abdicated because they were not active enough to play. Now they've gone completely, leaving the city starving, but still apparently logging to prevent loss of positions. They are high ranked in the religion, as the realm is a theocracy. Sorraine is screwed if the guy doesn't wake up and realize what's happening.

And the IR strikes again!

It happened in Kindara with the Duchess of Osaliel, who was also royal. We didn't have an infiltrator, and or a significant enough majority religion, so we were just stuck with it. We managed to get it back, and then lost it again a turn after we took it. Making matters even worse, there was no one to appoint a lord for Sozon. So we had well over 1000 bushels of food rotting, due to too few warehouses, while the neighboring city was starving.

Starving your region isn't protected by IR.

Actually, no. The Margrave causes the region to starve; do what you need to get the region fed. The problem is all the other protections he has.

Tom did something to change "last login date" to prevent autopause due to the DNS issues. Is the guy really logging in to prevent position loss?

[Indirik]

this has nothing to do with the IRs. Sorry if I gave that impression. It's as vonGenf says: it's all the other protections this character has that causes the problem, combined with the way that Sorraine was set up.

[Indirik]

Tom reset the last login date five days ago. That was a one-time deal, though. We haven't gotten any warnings since then. Maybe it will happen soon.
