Takeover Feedback, please!

[Zakilevo]

Wait. Do we still have the RTO option?

[fodder]

don't think it works? or at least it didn't work before for a while i think (or our priests would have been doing it) no idea if it's working yet or not.

[Tom]

an instance of redundant message. the people who received the 1st one already shouldn't have to receive the 2nd one too. (noble in question is in the TO region)

Yes, there are many cases of redundant messages right now. That is because there is a major change coming for the message system. For the moment, redundant messages are better than missing messages.

[fodder]

"There is a little bit less fear in the eyes of the peasants now. Riombara is welcome a bit more warmly now, but not much."

should it be "welcomed"?

better to say "received", I think. English majors, feel free to correct me.

Old Grehk is currently running a Takeover in Wudenkin, a rogue region, but:

Battle in Wudenkin   (just in)
Old Grehk vs. (rogue)
Estimated strengths: 760 men vs. 70 men
The Grehkian Legion (Old Grehk), sponsored by Askarn Iltaran, Duke of Ossmat, Ambassador of Old Grehk, were led into battle by Vice-Marshal Zyrthos Sarracenia.
Sir Michael T. Turner, King of Old Grehk is spotted wearing the Elemental Band of Freedom.
Kyler Despina (Noble) is spotted wearing the Blessed Belt of Lezzel.

The region owner (rogue) and their allies defend.
The Old Grehk troops attack because they are at war with (rogue).

Strong winds and gusts are making ranged combat a game of luck.
The defenders take up positions inside the Fortress (5).

It seems like the battle didn't account for the running Takeover. Shouldn't Old Grehk have been Defenders in this case? Unless it's already on the TODO list

[Tom]

depends.

what kind of unit was the enemy? units that "pop up" in a region will always be defenders of it's a rogue region, because they don't count as "freshly arrived".

[Telrunya]

Undead that popped in yes. My apologies in that case, I thought the Takeover would overrule that and force Old Grehk to be Defenders.

[fodder]

There are reports of armed men in the emplocy of Folcard Cuvelier executing administrative clerks.
The peasants seem a little more fearful, but not much. The locals don't seem to like Riombara as much as before now.

typo... employ?

Attempting a CTO on Dwillight

I click : Take over this region... (adding it to your realm)
I then get the message : You can not take over a region that does not border your realm.

Other information:
The region has 533 population. We are 5 nobles. The largest unit is 142 men.


So... is the CTO broken?

[Tom]

So... is the CTO broken?

Not so much broken as not yet added back into the game.

[Sypher]

The number of troops needed to do a takeover seems a bit high. Tindle, Beluaterra was needing 489 troops. The region population is 6524.

[Tom]

It depends on a number of factors. For this high number, I would venture they absolutely hate you, are loyal to their current realm, still have high morale (i.e. they are happy and see no reason for change), have a low desire for independence, etc. etc. ?

Many factors influence this number, and it changes when they do. But yes, 500 men seems high. I have since adjusted it a bit lower.

On testing, ambassadors are able to perform diplomacy actions while a takeover is running. I remember that this wasn't allowed before.

I should point out that the ambassador is from a third party, i.e. the TO is neither from nor against his realm.

Actually the realm doing the TO can perform them as well. I would guess that the TO code simply hasn't had that limitation added in yet, or perhaps it is intentional.
