It wouldn't be a punishment if the titans had waited for him to finish the war.

Sounds like you wanted Titans to just let them be. Then why do we even have Titans?

Like Chenier said. Two people who breached the rules got punished. End of the story. You just learn to play around it.

Ketchump is right.

As an once avid RC builder, I can confirm. More RCs you build, less likely you will get better ones so if you want to build high quality RCs, make sure to build them early. If you don't have any RCs, you are more likely to get insane ones like 100/100. As you build more, you will see less extreme RCs. After 3 insane RCs, you will mostly see ones in 70s. After a couple more you will be down to 50s and so on. I think it caps out at around 30s?

There is a war going on on Dwilight.

Astrum vs Swordfell, Sol.

I don't know if you know Crixus but he just got punished and lost all his titles which made other nobles to replace him. Now nobody knows what is going to happen. Western Dwilight has only one realm, Westgard. If you fancy fighting monsters 24/7, that is the best place to go. Otherwise, you can probably choose between Astrum, Sol, and Swordfell. Sol is a puppet created by Swordfell.

Eh it is still the same game with maybe slightly less people. A lot of wars going on at the moment but nothing new. A big war happening on EC. Smaller ones on BT and Dwi. If you are thinking of coming back though I'd suggest checking which realms are at war first. But yeah overall, the game is still the same.

It was actually done by two people. 15-20 people were not affected. Did any one lose titles other than the top two involved? No. However, they were two of rulers who were punished. Maybe that is why you think 15-20 people were affected. Also, let's not forget Crixus was holding 3 government positions, 1 ducal, 1 city lordship, and marshal. I mean it is hard to not get affected when someone hoards that many titles. It is Swordfell's fault for relying so heavily on one person.

It feels that way because people only see one side of the decision. Most people don't know who they are playing with as well as they think they do. Titans get to access all your letters both public and private. So yeah there are cases where you thought you were playing with a fantastic person but he turns out to be a dreadful a-hole toward those who play against him. Titans are titans. There are more than just one person making the decision. People talk and discuss between themselves. Some people are against punishing the person while others are for it. Also, they don't agree on how to punish that person. Don't forget titans also change. Some titans quit the game or leave the position and new people join in. They need time to get adjusted. Titans are volunteers who were selected because they were good players and they were considered to be rather fair. They obviously make mistakes every now and then but they never favor one realm over others. Most of the time when one of the titan's realm is involved, they stay away from that case to maintain impartiality. Don't simply call them out because they made a decision you don't like.

But then again, I think what I said will just fall over deaf ears. Such is Battlemaster indeed.

Sol on Dwilight has had a rough time of late. Split off from their original Realm, then their ruler and Swordfell's were deposed by the Titan's because they decided it was cheating.

Not that Titans THOUGHT splitting off from the original realm was cheating. That was cheating because it happened in the middle of an ongoing war and the capital was located inside of the realm they were fighting. Because of this, the new realm has managed to shortened the distance to the front line significantly. Plus people involved did it while knowing it would grant them advantages. According to Anaris, Crixus in particular was punished heavily as he was caught breaching other rules on top.

We're all doing it as "totally not a coup detat",  so nicey nicey, but there's probably no way the former rulers are getting back their positions easily.

They should be able to run for elections/be appointed in 2 months.

And so, I'm now Imperator of Sol. IE, ruler.
But I was banker (Overseer) and general (Archmarshal), now I'm not.
I'm also not Lord of my previous region, a mountain region called North Divide.
The Realm of Sol also has no duchies instituted any more.

You are no longer a lord because you are a ruler. You can't have a liege who has you as his/her liege. Not sure about banker and general positions.

I did accidentally appoint one of the accused by the Titans as Archmarshal, but only because our recently established government was stripped of all positions. I would have appointed her Overseer, instead, in hindsight.

I believe the character that was punished can't run for positions he/she was stripped of. So for any other positions, that person can run/be appointed.

Is all this normal?
No duchies, no positions for the new ruler, can only appoint one person to one position, realm "resurfaced" to new, just because I ran for Ruler? Kind of seems like another kick to the crotch after all we've been through, that few seem to see as "against the spirit of the game" anyway.

Your duchy should still be there but the position of duke should be empty. You can appoint yourself to the duchy probably. Unless you are new to the ruler position and unfamiliar with how to do it.

You are not supposed to hoard all positions. If your realm is that small, then maybe you should seriously consider recruiting more people or shouldn't have seceded in the first place. Maybe thinking before acting would have helped? Then again it wasn't really your fault for being stuck in that position. I feel bad you are paying for what your ruler and Crixus did but they had to be punished. That is why Titans did what they did. They don't do it just so they can screw people over. I don't get why people think that way.

Because region descriptions have a quality process and are distinctly different than a statue or monument meant to memorialize something. That someone paid hundreds of gold for so some new lord months/years later can edit it to something they want? I don't see any reason to approve this (if there's a glitch, contact an admin to manually fix it), and if there were an edit function, I think it should cost a pretty penny as you are essentially re-engraving the memorial statue or monument.

I asked this to be fixed months ago. It hasn't been fixed. I'd rather see this added because you need to constantly bug devs to fix things like this. I'd rather have a system, even if it costs some gold, where it will not involve a dev. Since this actually requires the live server access, there are only two people who can fix this. One being you Vita` who isn't around that often and the other being Anaris who is really busy.

Well sounds like he was asking for it. Micromanaging a whole realm for years? And people actually let him do it? Sounds crazy.

Feature Requests / Rejected: Make descriptions of statues and monuments editable

Title: What it says above
Summary: Add a button to edit existing statues or monuments. Maybe not their descriptions only of course.
Details: Summary should be enough
Benefits: Don't know about now but before descriptions sometimes glitched out and produced something like the following example:  Nifelleisca, the Founder of . Adding an edit button will allow players to fix it.
Possible Downsides or Exploits: Obviosuly people can and will probably edit existing statues or monuments however they like but we already have region descriptions that can be edited by anyone. So why should this be an exception.
