Attn. land of the jaguar people:
We are very disturbed by your failure to adequately secure... everything, and have found it necessary to take measures to rectify the situation as rapidly as possible. Attempting to stop us would be inadvisable. Time is of the essence.

[tompliss]

By the way, I woner why there are 2 uncalimed thrones.
I mean, one is underwater, so it's normal for now. but the other ?!?

[Delta Foxtrot]

Maybe people have better things to do with their pretender/prophet turns. Or it's an awful throne. Or you took lvl3 thrones and it has horrible guardians. It's only turn 21 after all.

[tompliss]

The thrones all are level 1, and the 2 left are Law (Order+1) and Stability (MR+1). I must admit Stability doesn't really matter for nations not fighting (especially in the early game, with very few mages with the power to make MR matter).

I haven't scouted enough to know one thing : it may be in the territory of one of the nations with already 2 thrones. there are 4 required to win. If I had 2 thrones claimed and a third in my territory, I would build acasstle for it but not claim it, to be able to get a forth one and claim both in the same turn...

[Delta Foxtrot]

That's certainly a possibility. From the few throne games I've lurked, many people seem to be oblivious to the throne situation and then get bitch because they lose "suddenly". So everyone should keep an eye on that throne situation and plan accordingly. Don't let these things sneak up on you.

And since order-3 is a very common scale, it's possible that Law throne offers no benefits to whoever has it in their lands.

[Shadowlord]

I think this is what is happening right now, though it doesn't help that my 'scouts' are unable to see the names of the thrones in each province or to determine precisely which province certain thrones are in (I have noted in other games that they are often not in the province they appear to be in), since they are not visible in the list of buildings to a stealthed unit.

[Delta Foxtrot]

There was a way to figure that out since the thrones were listed in order of province their province number. I seem to recall they fixed it in 4.04 or 4.05 patch.

A player in 402 has published a map two or three times over the course of the game that shows everyone's realms, forts and thrones. There's some obvious room for error but it's been nice and has made sure everyone's up to date about how everyone is seemingly doing. That was largely the effort of only one player though, you'd have to figure something like that yourselves and get it done if you're interested.

Whether or not you edit a fancy map with nice colours (ours looked really nice, thanks Culise if you're reading this), you can always share intel about thrones with others. It can be public, it can be hidden. The game being what it is means you can't trust everyone telling, or everyone not lying but it's certainly an option.

To determine visually which province has a throne, you can consider that all thrones are positioned the same way. I can't remember if they're in the upper left or upper right corner of the province but they should all be similarly positioned. This can help you if you find some thrones if they seem to be in the wrong provinces.
To clarify: in the map file every province is a small white dot that's invisible to the naked eye. All clutter on the map; forts, armies, flags, thrones etc are positioned in relation to that dot.

Useful! Thanks!

I see what you mean :

After all, there isn't any underwater throne...

[Shadowlord]

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

[tompliss]

Yeap : Itchitaurs will be marching on every coast.

lijacote, as you manually placed and as we should be able to say where they are from the map (without owning the province), could you say in which provinces they are ?

[Shadowlord]

If you haven't seen the province, its name shows up as ??? anyways, but since the thrones all appear to be just above and to the left of the dot representing the province (and the flag, if there is one), that makes it much easier to tell where they are. That one is in the land province (The Gift? It's ??? to me.), etc.

oh, misfortune +3 ?
I hope you had a little "Luck" before that or you'll want to send priests there :/
Even before sending patrollers to get the unrest down, I'd say.

Sorry, not enough time for some roleplaying...therefore only a little bit OOC.

Ok...Marveni had declare war on me and is still fighting (last round a suprising battle against his titan...not that he got a scratch but without him the victory should have been mine)
Oceania trampled through my land to reach the other sea. Now (after his army jumped into the pond like a frog) we have something like a NAP.
Ur scouts were seen from time to time but this round his naked lady attacked some land...I hope it is only within our deal? The assassination attempt last time was not against your lady it was intended against the army that was there before you.
Abysia has descided to conquer some land of mine without talking. Are we at war now too?
Mictlan seems sieged by Abysia but is the only friendly one at current time.

Ok...if I consider right...there is some Biddyn world war going on...that will be funny I think

btw. I have several events for misfortune +3 so I think not only the rng hates me...I think about who could use magic on my land?
