The already hinted at third takeover option has been added today, and you should now be able to take control of a region through a balance of fear and sympathy.

Building costs have come down again, dramatically. While updating the code to the new Doctrine backend, I looked at it in surprise, did some math - and realized that the formula had been wrong all those years. Basically, it was 2^x instead of x^2 - that caused exploding costs, of course.

Yeah, sorry for everyone who built something for many thousand gold that should only ever have costed a few hundred.

Today's update to testing contains many bugfixes and two important changes to trading:

• Irrespective of distance, you can always trade with regions you have a direct way to. This is especially important for sea routes on Dwilight.
• You can now limit trades to be available to everyone not at war (the default setting), only to those allied with your realm, or only to people within your own realm.

Posted: January 25, 2012, 10:44:35 AMMaintainance Work

The hosting center has announced that there will be maintainance work on Thursday, 2nd February and Thursday, 9th February. Both times, the window is from 00:00 to 06:00 local time ("BattleMaster Time") - that means just until before the turn. During these times, the server may be unreachable for short periods of time (they say up to half an hour). Plan accordingly and don't rely on last-minute world-changing actions.
