The Divides can be bypassed in the east without hitting desert, and the eastern sea can be sailed.  It's still a long trip, but Donghaiwei -- Poryatown shouldn't take more than a few days, I think.

I haven't been around for too long, but the entire time I have, Morek and Luria have been pacifying to each other. I joined late 2012, and the only thing I've seen was a quick loot of Dongwei and a quick peace.

The main problem is, they can't march on each other. You can't war with capitals on either end of the island. How long would it take to even march from one capital to the first region of the other realm?

So just declare war and let nobles run a guerrilla war on each other, at their own leisure.  No threat to the Kings, so no need to ban it. In any case, seems like Luria has its hands full at the moment, from what I hear (and hope)

Both have been busy with their own wars for quite a while.

Ok, I don't know if this is the right place for my complaint. Specifically in Dwilight and only in Dwilight. My character was Duke of Itau. His family is fairly rich (8k gold). He had the option to buy a region. Great! I can understand why I cannot buy an enemy region with a Lord. But why I can't buy a Rogue Region? Not a city... By the gods, nor a townsland. But why not a rural region to call mine!? Henrich feel the most miserable of his kind...  :P
Now with the Skovgaard Family... and it's gone.
Serpentis again!

You can send that gold to me and I will buy it for you.

I prefer to buy it by myself, don't worry  8)

Likely because there is no government in place. Happens with a priest too. (Can't claim rogue regions)

Was that changed?  I remember my priest claiming Echiur from rogue after preaching there for several weeks.

Yup. Devs seriously nerfed the priest class a few RL years ago.

This is something which really annoys me - the priest class is boring enough as it is and is hardly used actively in war anyway so nerfing one of their few useful powers is a pain.

Mrh? Nerfing one of their useful powers? Priests were never intended to be traders. They couldn't be traders until trader was implemented as a subclass. Even then, they were never intended to be traders. In fact, I think it was only available as a bug, for a very short period of time, and only a very few priests were ever able to take advantage of it.

Having said that, priests can still trade. Appoint one as a region lord or steward. The only thing they won't be able to do is broker deals. But given the fact that as a lord/steward they can buy and then sell, they actually come out ahead of a trader who is not a lord/steward.

This assertion that priests not being able to be traders is some kind of major nerf is complete crap.

This has nothing to do with priest/traders - the word trader is not mentioned in this thread, are you confused with a different one?

This is about RTOs not being available in rogue regions.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

D'oh!  :-[  I apparently got my threads mixed up.

Sorry 'bout that, Antonine.
