I have a query:
One of my mayor's popularity is dropping steadily and I cant figure out why.  He has charisma 10 and leadership 1.  The peasant tax rate was at 8% (just dropped it to 7).  When his popularity started to drop, I scheduled and won an election so it shouldn't be unhappiness over elections.  He's currently at neutral, from a high of Parades Every Day.

Obviously I'm missing something, any ideas?

Yeah sorry mayor popularity is a mystery to me too...

In todays news, Kronk-S'Schnorrbatt has started attacking and taking over our castles in the north. I'm going to retaliate by bulldozing his castles. Can anyone else help out? Limit it to attacking only Kronk-S'Schnorrbatt and not the other red player(s).

Evicted the cur that overthrew my duly appointed mayor.  No self determination allowed.

I'm on it.  Searching for Kronk owned castles now.

So I found a castle with a Kronk garrison at 39,46.  I killed the garrison and razed the castle.
It was the most entertaining battle I've had in this game.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Kronk's garrisons use spells, somehow.  My garrisons never use spells, even when I set the cast % to 100.  Maybe they only cast spells against players, never against wandering monsters...?

Notice how they killed my archer, with one of his archers somehow doing 76 damage in one round.  My archer had over 100 defense.

Anyone who wants to take on one of his garrison, I advise you to be prepared.  You're going to need entangle and confuse scrolls on all your characters.

did you put a tick next to each spell you want to use? you need to ok each spell type.

BTW The toughest garrisons I've fought were ones of Kronk's with 8 high-level archers. I'm thinking that could be the optimal garrison set-up, 8 high-level archers with about 25-30 CON, 2 x metallurgy, 2 x fletching (these to make them self-sufficient for ammo and armor repair), 10 Int (to support those skills), the rest in Agi, and level up beserker and eagle eye after that.

Nope.  Funny how I've been playing this long and never noticed those boxes.

I had my two priests hit the highest archers with Entangle, and focus-fire everyone else on the toughest non-archers after that. You have to micro-manage battles at this level. refocus fire after each enemy death, use targeted healing or attack spells rather than auto-cast.

Leave the tough archers for last and keep them suppressed with the entangles. I have a few high-level mages in a garrison I "farm" for the entangle scrolls, so the points cost isn't an issue. Entangle costs more points but the limiting factor is attacks, not how many scrolls you can farm, so I wouldn't use Confuse, I'd just stock up more entangles.

But you're probably going to need confuse in order to hit his archers.  My guys were all missing before I confused his guys.
I agree that you have to micromanage.  I focus fire to an extent... but don't go overboard, since it wastes a round if the guy you're targeting dies before your character get his attack in.

They automatically pick a new target if their current one dies, so it overflows to other enemies and doesn't waste a round. It's worth it to ensure the takedown. You can try and micro it more than that, but you run the risk of not taking down the current target that way. It's most important to guarantee kills.

I order all of my 8 characters to hit one target, but they still damage other enemies if the first one goes down really fast. This "splash" damage is then a good indicator of other quick kills.

That's strange, because I thought for sure that when I focus fire on one guy, it ends up wasting attacks when the target dies early.

Give it a try next time you're in a non-critical fight.

BTW toppled 2 red castles today, I'm leaving them on the bay12 map but marking them "RAZED".

I just ran into Kronk @ Downstad (63, 89). I'm guessing he was raiding the level 4 dugeon nearby. Maybe he's also scouting out our territory though.

Kronk killed 2 of my garrisons.  I'm going to retaliate sometime tonight.

took out Kronk's garrison & the castle @ 50,72.  also, out of entangle scrolls (didnt have many made yet).  Stupid mistake allowed one of my party to take a dirt nap, but a trip to the healer's got 'em back.  He just smells a bit of formaldehyde now.  How long do y'all think this tit-for-tat will last before it escalates to "war" (or die's down, but since Kronk started this, I think he wants the former)?

My entire party smells of formaldehyde.  I think they've been huffing it behind my back.
