maybe an area should be hold by a settlement and only by conquering that settlement is how you conquer a certain amount of area. 

wat?

My main point is to make Conquest more independent from Mods/Admins. This wont work well with settlements because they are usually all Banner protected (for good reason). Also, a settlement is usually the last thing you attack AFTER you have conquered the countryside. You can't really besiege a castle if you don't control the surrounding area. So the siege/war on a settlement or the capital of a province is usually the final straw in really owning it, and this has to be managed my Mods, or if you run your own server/local by you.

currently Conquest is a farce because the attacked faction don't even need to do anything to re-conquer. The just need to wait and the mod's conquest drain will fix it for them, which makes it feel so useless.

if attacker can shut down enemy respawn completely, at least the attacked nation's players have to actively go and fix it by themselves or with invasions.

ok i understand your point and you're right

I mean, Conquests and Invasions aren't useless, but too limited currently. Naturally I really like the mod, otherwise I wouldn't bother writing in the Forum. Please excuse me if I am "complaining" too much. I don't wanna bitch, just write in order to push the mod to where I want it to be, like most people do. cheers.

I think that having conquests be limited and time consuming is a good idea. Nobody wants to have their faction's home biome be completely covered in enemy conquest. The current conquest system is good for setting up outposts in enemy territory instead of total domination of other factions. I personally don't think that anyone should need much more than an outpost or two in enemy territory, so I'm fine with the way conquests are currently.

yeah. it works for people who like pen&paper roleplaying with a Game-master or whatever that is called. It's like that with Admins and Mods of the server who take this job over, but I prefer at least the OPTION to make it more independent from "referees" and give more power to the computer. Also, it's much easier and fun to play with few people or even solo this way. You know I don't want to take away your style of playing it, I just want to make it more versatile for everybody, especially for me of course.

I find conquest to be completely useless except for roleplay--or large servers with massively active conquesters. You dont get anything except some of your troops spawning in the enemy territory, (and often when that happens they spawn along with the enemy, and are instantly killed, you need a good amoiunt of conquest before there are enough that the enemy is killed and the friendlies remain) so unless this is something you really value, its pointless

It was fun for a few days ill admit, but after a few days of not doing the conquest, the few thousand conquest was reduced to nothing, and in the server I play in, conquest is all but forgotten

I hope there is something else for conquest planned, otherwise it felt like a very anti-climactic update
