[DevDiary 4 - Invasion]

A promising Dev Dairy!

 Keeps can be controlled separately from the provinces, which reduces the overall defensive capabilities of the province and provides some attrition damage against the enemies of a keeps’ occupier (including armies of the province’s owner).

So does this mean the keep (or castle) can be its own entity in a province?

This is easier if they solely control the defeated kingdom, and more complicated if there are multiple kingdoms involved in the occupation – it is a bit unpredictable how the separation of the kingdom’s territories will go if the spoils are divided among multiple parties. Even if the owner kingdom is not completely occupied, a peace treaty can lead to exchange of some lands as well.

I think my next question might go beyond the scope of this Dev Dairy... but will wars work mechanically/politically the same as in KoH1?

 

One apparant issue was that each war between kingdoms was its own separate conflict that are eventually resolved on their own. Take our example France invading Aragorn, say neighboring Castille honors its alliance with France and declares war on Aragorn, will it be part of the 'same' war conflict? If so, could France theoretically let Castille do the heavy lifting (*) but actually not gain anything?

 

(*) Occuping all Aragorn's provinces and doing all the battles
