Declaring Hostile Action

A King can choose to conquer a Region owned by another Kingdom. It is possible to declare the Hostile Action Conquer Region through the Royal Chancellery.

A Regent may declare war only if:

1. The Diplomacy Relations are correctly set: for more information, see Diplomacy: Effects on War Engine.
2. The target Kingdom is NOT already attacked;
3. The target Kingdom is unstable (there is no Regent);
4. The target region doesn't contains a battlefield.

Battlefield presence and war status

The presence of a battlefield in a Kingdom won’t affect anymore its war status, but the region where the battlefield is located can’t be attacked.

If Kingdom A conquers Region C of Kingdom B:

1. Kingdom B can be immediately attacked
2. Kingdom A can be immediately attacked but not region C;

If Kingdom A do not conquer Region C of Kingdom B:

1. Kingdom A can be immediately attacked
2. Kingdom B can be immediately attacked but not region C;

Example: Region BRESCIA is conquered by Kingdom of GENOA. Both Kingdom of GENOA and Kingdom of Milan can attack straight away, but until a battlefield is present in BRESCIA, the region can’t be attacked.

Costs

Declaring a war implies some logistic and recruiting costs. Costs for conquering a region it's based on the army dimension.

 Cost in Silver coins = 10 * Declared Attackers

  A character younger than 30 days won't be able to join a faction and fight.
