Conquering Region
Contents |
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:
- The Diplomacy Relations are correctly set: for more information, see Diplomacy: Effects on War Engine.
- The target Kingdom is NOT already attacked;
- The target Kingdom is unstable (there is no Regent);
- 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:
- Kingdom B can be immediately attacked
- Kingdom A can be immediately attacked but not region C;
If Kingdom A do not conquer Region C of Kingdom B:
- Kingdom A can be immediately attacked
- 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
