A group of Guardians of Zera were spotted moving southwest out of Wolgast near one of King Sigurd's towns: The Hunting Lodge.
I am not amused.

The last few days I've seen faction armies occupying places where they I've nver seen them before. Until this week I never saw a single army of the free orcs near my towns, while I'm located close to one of their hubs. This week I saw 2 without paying much attention to the worldmap. Likely there have been more. 

I also have a town in nothern calumnex and never noticed any omen troops very close. The only place I've seen their armies was on the island near the tower. Maybe it's just coincidence I suddenly see all those armies, but to me it seems they've enlarged the territory for their patrols.

I guess you have to start somewhere with this release...  I'm often disappointed to find only "few", "several", and "pack" NPC sizes around my cities more frequently than the "host" or "legion" that I would prefer.

Speaking long-term regarding "live factions"... it would be nice to see the most "hatred" factions attack directly, with more frequency, and with larger parties.  But perhaps the DEVS haven't turned it up to eleventy until more factions are ready to jump into the fray...

Is anyone else underwhelmed by the size and frequency of attacks? I had been hoping for something that resembled real PvE. This looks more like infrequent, random collisions on pre-determined routes, with tiny armies that could be defeated by a single elite commander.

I think most of those hub activities are animal encounters.

hmmm, Obsidian is used to make equipment that counteracts magic.  Kind of makes sense that the mages have a broomstick up their *deleted* about it.

Two opposing forces clash against each other.

The reflective glassy surface of Obsidian proves a disastrous terrain to fight on, especially when combined with jagged, ragged Vulcan plains and oozing lava pits. Even the lightest of units will have difficulties mounting an assault here.

Defenders gain a very slight advantage over attackers on this treacherous terrain, finding in advance the most defensible paths to set ambushes. However, attempting to navigate the baking, oozing and fragile magma crust disadvantages everyone.
