Dose this mean an alliance can occupy one?

I certantly wouldn't be thinking this would be implemented when sov is released and I've only had a little experience with programming but wouldn't it be possible to get a simmilar results to pathfinding through checks.

Ie
If a sov square is connected to your city it becomes a prime1 sov square
else
If a sov square is connected to a prime1 sov square it  becomes a prime2 sov square
else
If a sov square is connected to a prime2 sov square it too becomes a prime2 sov square
check

If prime2 then Distance = distance + 0.2*(distance-1)
else Distance = distance
check

checks could be made and recorded every time the city creates or destroys a new soverign square.
No prime 1 check is needed as distance will equal 1
Distance is the distance used to determine upkeep
distance is the distance from the city

If you capture the city though you get the research lvls that city has so it wont be a problem

^^ has it exactly right

Hello,
 
Quick question. You said that an alternative to competing for a soveriegn square or planting a hostile army and siphoning would be to raze or capture the city that holds sovereignty.
Is it possible to capture a cities sovereign square if it has a Sovereignty level or Sovereignty structure on it that are a higher level than I have researched?

SOVEREIGNTY Q & A
Q. How do I destroy another player's Sovereign Structure?

By competing with that player for Sovereignty on the Square (see above).  For the avoidance of doubt, you cannot Siege or Blockade Sovereign structures.

An alternative route is to destroy the city that holds the Sovereignty.  When a Sovereignty-holding city is razed, all Sovereignty and Sovereign structures are lost. 

When it is captured, Sovereignty (and its benefits/costs) transfer to the player who captured the city. 

Great work guys. :)

something along the lines of if there is a solid line of Sovereign squares to a square 3 squares away then distance = 1
and if 2 or more soverign squares are connected then distance = 1 + (distance-1)/n where n is the number of connecting squares

When pathfinding is in place, and places are connected by roads...

... then there's a distinct possibility that connected Sovereign Squares might be cheaper to maintain.

But, again, that's a way away.

Ouch...SC is god of creation but not destruction.

So in practice:

"Ok, I'll put it in the garage."
"Hmm, I need a bigger garage."

Any suggestions for ThunderCat and Gryphon? The only GM I've talked to is Stormcrow, I know Akita is the economist and strategos sounds very similar to strategy.

ThunderCat once self-summarised his role thusly: "I look after the horizontal and vertical, Stormcrow controls the depth".  I thought it was both accurate and unexpectedly poetic.
