So get 240 catapults and burn them down. It's really a very short process. MicroMe makes a profession out of clearing away dead cities, so can you!

gosh i have 18 castles and 40 more that look like perma sitting...prob 50 of them do nothing...i am certain there are others like this out there...think of the space 10 accounts, 20 accounts or even 50 accounts like this take .then the scarey thing to think of is when broken lands opens, how often are these castles going to be played. there are whole sections of the map that are populated that do nothing. as dd is saying it looks like an evony map...people are playing like its evony and other dead games, the castles never leave and are seldom played and its getting worse, i enjoy an active game and i offer suggestions to put into the game so all remain happy

... then why dont you try to take it instead of just wishing (..or whining) them away?  Seems like a non-issue when the solution is already available....

The mechanic is already in the game but it seems to be deliberately hidden. 


I believe that what I wrote - in summary - is that I wish for an (i) to appear next to a players name in all game contexts, when he or she has been away from the game/not logged on from more than 30 days.

i think i am a fairly active player, and i am not discouraged by it.  rather, i consider it part of the challenge of the game, developing a long-term, land-based strategy that makes desirable acquisitions over time, sometimes via negotiation.

as a non-pvp'er who thinks the BL implementation of a safe zone may be the worst idea ever, i do not find this compelling.   and it would not be difficult to get rid of permasitting; the issue is not that we don't understand how to accomplish that, it is that the devs do not wish to do it.

i admit it.  for me, that has always been pathfinding, and pathfinding does not require the the solution you propose.  the game is perpetual, players are capped at 10 cities; until one of those things changes, i do not understand what you hope to gain by trying to turn it into pure conquest.

respectfully, i think you have confused cause and effect here.

i am very interested in what the illyriad team is doing with their new game ageofascent. the war of walls is a perfect example how this would work...this way no account ever loses anything and maybe the game can remove accounts from the map after a certain amount of time but the player is able to place them back onto the map when they choose to play again...with illyriad creating blocks of interchanging code they might use this in our game and with them making a move towards cloud usage the game should be able to store accounts forever. the player could also choose when to remove their account from the game board when they are inactive.
if i'm understanding this aright, this is very nearly the opposite of what i hope for from illyriad.  for it to work, it would have to make very little difference where towns reside on the map, because an newly reactive player could drop them back onto the map at any time, take them up, replace them, etc.  i would like the game to become more sensitive to the terrain, not less.  the promise of pathfinding (which now sounds a lot like "Shambhala" to my ear, but hope springs eternal) would open up a new dimension of tactics, including the occupation of mountain passes, ferries, bridges, and various other choke points.  that would seem to make the voluntary removal of one's well-placed towns from the map quite unlikely.
