   It is an odd dilemma, as sov is only as good as your ability to hold it. There is a courtesy of 5 or 10 squares, but really even that is whether or not people or alliances wish to go to war over such an issue. Some, like Dlord will, but at least we will TRY to talk it out.

	if you claim sov, then you are saying it's yours. Whatever any ten tile rule / agreement may be held as an ideal, Sov and armies are the only two real ways to make such a claim in this game. So yeah, if you claim sov on a square 60 squares away then clearly it must be yours. Until someone makes it theirs.

	One always has the option to counter-claim the sovereignty. Presumably a city closer to the sov and/or a more well-established city would have more of a likelihood of successfully defending it.

	All depends on how big of a stick they carry.

	It is an interesting aspect with T2 out now in which sovs have more meaning than just helping to buff aspects of our cities. Now their are a couple of questions that come into being.. 1. what happens if a person sovs into your land or the land of another (maybe you are sharing) and makes the claim it is now theirs and it is say, a rare mine? :O 2. What if they sov 20 or more tiles away from their city? ...or 2b. and - what if a person lands a city there and now claims it as their tile and it is 20 or tiles from your city? Sov is an interesting aspect but especially now, with people trying to lay claim and expect to be left alone just because they either have an army there or they have sov'ed the area not 5 tiles away, not 10 tiles away, but 20 or more. If I claim a sov that is 60 tiles away, is it really mine? (pun intended - hey, I'm a dwarf) Just curious about the communities thoughts as this has happened to Dlord previously and is happening in a contention WITH Dlord currently. Not saying which aspect is currently happening but that I'm looking at what the community thinks since this is become a larger issue. Edited by belargyle - 29 Aug 2012 at 00:12
