OK, I think it's working as intended as of now...
I'll monitor it closely, though, over the next 48hrs, to make sure.

Thanks for the update.
Will the faction troops take action against existing camps or only new ones that arrive after the change ?

More thoughts/questions/wonderings...

1. Will the AI seek those "hated" by a faction?  Is the definition of "live" factions more than just the faction "passing by" an encampment/harvesting party being turned into a battle?

2. Are there any factors placed into factions such that they would be less likely to assault a smaller player than a larger one?  What about the number of times the same player is hit within a given period?

3. What happens to the crafted gear when the player's army is wiped out by the faction?  Can it be gathered or does the faction take it?

I'd think these would be good initial implementations before changes in faction standing are introduced to the game.

This message came just over 2hrs after my troops landed killing a Tower army (153 Shadow Mages) ....  initially I got all carried away thinking they had attacked me Embarrassed  The sq was empty when I sent them, but they obviously arrived before I got there ... so I was the attacker.

My alt is camped near The Tower one of my army camps got this message .... 
========================================

The Tower patrol passes by your units at 529|-2937

Sent By:System
Received By:Erik Redbeard [-SV-]
Date:08 Aug 2015 08:56
Mechanical Patrol from the The Tower arrives at [529|-2937] in Calumnex and moves on without incident. 

(GM note 18AUG13): Factions will not currently attack players; and as at this moment, attacking factions occupying map squares will not damage your standings in any way. We will give sufficient notice on the forums and in the patchnotes when we intend to change this state of affairs.
========================================

This is an army that arrived on the spot AFTER the Faction behaviour change.  So I'm guessing it's not working as expected yet.

Watches as <System> sends a Cornucopia of -90s at Stukahh for confirmation. ;-)

They appear to exhibit the same behaviours as they always have.

I can report that the Diplo changes both came into effect, I had warning messages that I had tried to send less than 5 seconds apart, and that I had tried to send more missions than my consulate level.

I don't always drink. But when I do, I prefer the blood of my enemies.
