Adding Depth to Controlling Areas

Great concept! I suggested a similar concept of regional capitols that were neutral territories that could belong to a person. 

sooo... I kinda had a similar idea. A region could be controlled by owning the regional capital. But the region should have 4 forts to the North, South, East, and West of the capital; all at the very edge of the regions. So, if any alliance wants to "control" a region, they must first control all four forts, and then they can attempt the capture the region's capital city. Forts and capital cities work kinda like tourny squares. So basicly here is how it works in more detail.

Note: Alliance Names are not real, I just made them up to avoid confusion: Alliance A=Alpha, Alliance B=Beta, Alliance C=Charlie, Alliance D=Delta, and Alliance E=Echo.

Alpha has 100k troops in all the forts and the capital city of a region (note: the forts gives a bonus equal to a level 10 wall and the city gives a bonus equal to a level 20 wall). Beta decides they want the region. Beta therefore, swarms the West fort and capture it by wiping out all the defenders and occupying. But they don't have the troops to continue with the other three forts. So Beta hires Charlie and Delta to take out the other three forts and hand over control. Charlie fulfills the contract and eventually captures the East and South forts and then leaves them just before Beta's troops arrive to take control. But Delta does not comply, and they take control of the North fort and pile hordes of troops into it. By this time, Beta has built up their troops, and they crush Delta's troops and gain control of the North fort. Now Beta has gained control of all four forts. But Alpha however, has piled all their troops into the region's capital city. Beta therefore hires Echo, Alpha's enemy, to lay siege to Alpha's towns forcing Alpha to recall troops from the region's capital. Then Beta takes the offensive and attacks the capital city of the region and gains control, therefore becoming the "controller" of the region.


Ok, so that's kinda how it works, but why would one want to control a capital? Simple, a prize. Prizes should be, a unique medal for each region that cannot be recreated in the medal creator and your whole alliance receives it after capturing a region's capital city. For every region your alliance controls, you get 20 Elite Preatorians every hour, 1 of each elemental soldier thingys for every 24hours held, 1 random dragon for every week held, and 100 prestige to your alliance pool for every month held.

What do yall think?
