Those are some pretty good points.
I feel like control of non-fortified regions ought to me more fluid. Right now takeovers are just a bunch of either meaningless violence where even the whitest of knights suddenly turn into violent hooligans, or endless freedom celebrations that set regions awash in ale for a week. And if the invaders aren't taking over, they're usually just burning things to the ground, slaughtering hundreds of peasants in the process. War is simply too devastating to be on the losing side, so most realms won't risk it unless victory is all but assured. Other realms just simply can't afford to take much land from their neighbors. Realms should be able to benefit from occupying land without actually taking it over or looting it to cinders.

The rates are pretty ridiculous though, and with realms already struggling the hordes just pile up out of nowhere. Just now in Luria we had another 15k sitting in one region at one point.

Well you're the ones who insisted on giving power to a Mayhem... you reap what you sow 
Luria could've told you what a spectacularly bad idea that was

443 kills during a 6 hour food raid with no instructions to be lenient shouldn't be the norm. That's three percent of the total. That would make looting wayyyy too powerful. Half a dozen people with big units can depopulate a region in days.

My men just casually murdered 443 people while stealing 150 bushels worth of food.
Good thing I wasn't lenient, eh

« on: July 28, 2016, 01:23:59 AM »If religion acts that way, it is meaningless. The whole point of religion is to have a set of loyalties and restrictions that conflict with those in the realm.
Kind of difficult when the leaders of the religions are all lords or higher. Religion, from the start, has just been another tool for realms to pursue their own ambitions. If you really want religion to bring conflict to realms, make priests unable to hold any other titles, and give them the means to become powerful and influential in other ways. Make it a commoner class, even. Get some High Sparrows, rather than all the High Septons we have now.

What makes you think we want you to return

Are the Bloodstars that picky then? I went through two eighty-man cavalry units in a few weeks, all killed fighting hordes. The other knights as well. So while LB spent who knows how long trekking through the brush to and from Astrum, LN was spilling blood every single day.
I also offered help to Westfold long before Zhukov got the idea, but was rejected. Then after Zhukov changed his mind and decided suddenly Astrum was gonna be attacked, I suggested a good old fashioned brawl between the Lurias, which was promptly rejected by Zhukov.
As people said, yelling and stomping your foot isn't going to rally anyone to your cause. Zhukov is just a less entertaining Arkady at this point.

What tenets? You seem to think Cador's a pacifist. He's most certainly a war hawk. I'd even wager he's shed a lot more blood than Zhukov has these past weeks and months.
And why would they give Cador a slap on the wrist? Zhukov is the one who tried butting into Westfold's war against Swordfell, then changed his mind and went for Astrum instead, soundly getting beaten before having his capital sacked and the holy site defiled by Astroists.
You basically called a crusade, and then two weeks later got Rome sacked by Saracens.

I wouldn't flatter myself too much into thinking Zhukov's antics are the reason Cador's on edge. Cador has been wanting LB wiped off the map since the moment Arkady seceded, because he thinks the entire realm makes a mockery of the name Luria. It's vengeance, a tad on the petty side. Zhukov is simply a spanner in the works to him. And he's a general, so of course he would laugh derisively at the sack of Shinnen. Is that not good noble behavior?
