I can understand the 10 square rule if an alliance had a big hub of one area on the map. However, H?'s members have towns all over the map. So, this request or I mean order by H? is an unfair one. Like a few members said already, this method can be abused by H? members all over the map by simply moving a town in an area, thus causing turmoil.

How is this request much different then the alliance that got sieged out of the game for stating claim to one territory on the map? The alliance said they would siege any non member on the map that moved in the territory. H? and the coalition did not like this and sieged them out of the game. Here H? is now doing what they did not like in the past and it is okay now. Irony at its best.

I feel it is time for a new server as well.

sounds pretty much like the same tactic an Austrian painter used to go for. "I want that area." some time later: "I also want that area." Just going on and on until it was almost to late to stop him and millions died because others gave in to the first requests. Glad no one dies in illy, but still...Clown

Edit: This post is not meant as an insult. Great tactic to control the server.

hypocritical?
no no my dears..
subjects may move their towns if they want to  accommodate the player that requests such move..
if not, may get removed by force.
sorry but newbies get enough privileges in this game. this is simply the rule.

Its a bit hypocritical on H's behalf considering their previous actions but I see it as unavoidable for not just H but all of us so I support the tactic, lets see how it goes from here with the rest of the alliances.

Broadly: "what he said".

On the fine print: it is not  hypocritical of H? to claim the right to approve settlements within X of their holdings. They have never said, AFAIK, that anyone shouldn't do this. Of course there has been outcry over this sort of thing before, and if anyone were inclined to scream and shout in previous incidents, it would be fair to accuse them of hypocrisy if they didn't make noise now.

I love it every time the "we failed at this server, let's start again" crowd decides to crow...

Hello :)

just tryin to make sense of it all...so the "ten square" respected/ownership/squares applies to everyone or just "the big players"? I think it is kinda sad to have to ask anyone to move a city due to just their size...maybe someone doesn't want to cause trouble or wants to move closer to their own city n yet THAT big player is in the way...think it works either way...:) ...if ya really think about it, do the big players feel like they have to ask? just curious :)

thanks

It'll get complicated but its unavoidable, the outcome will, as always, be decided mostly by he who has the greater strength, that is the reality. You have already mentioned alot of what lies ahead Sloter and it will be interesting to watch how it plays out.

Lets have all top 5 alliances declare 10 square rule and  and see whats left of the map :)

If there will be 10 square rule then it needs to be more precise.What is status of hubs?If there is H? player does that mean that NPC hubs will be restricted to others?Also what about more densely populated area like Middle kingdom where there are cities packed close from several alliances.What would happen if two players (one from h? and one from some other alliance) already have cities within 10 sq and player not in H? wants to reinf his cluster by settling new city within that 10 sq?If i wanted to settle new city in old Invictus hub in Middle kingdom i dont think i will ask permision from H? that has cities within 10 sq of it.Also some players have joined H? in past few months and they are still close to their old neighbours that can create many situations.Also Larn is traditionaly used for Victrix new players and many Crow players and no teritorialism was present there before.Are they all to ask aproval from H? players when settling new cities in something that is considered free land for new players?

That 10 square rule needs to be more specifiic or H? diplomats will be very busy.I think that many will respect that 10 sq where there are H? clusters like in west Tallimar, Lan Larosh or Azura, but i cant see that people will humiliate them self by asking if they can settle new city near their previous city , if it is within 10 sq of H? city, or near NPC hubs or areas that are traditionaly "free for all" like central regions
