It appears that the most extreme attitudes have no limit to radius of interaction. I'd wager that -100 relation means that faction will cross the globe to obliterate you if it can.

I know factions are not active yet but I have some questions that I don't think I've read the answer to anywhere (my apologies if that is the case).
I'm interested to know more details about the interaction radius of factions based on the different standing levels.
We know that different kind of benefits or hostile actions comes with the standing towards the faction. Above +50 and bellow -50 military interaction is a possibility. But for the +/- 50,75 and 90 levels - does the interaction radius change? And, approximately what is the interaction radius per standing level (20,100,200... sqrs)?

I think it has a gain with no loss whatsoever factor in your equation.

Had we been given more notice of this complete change of game play would have been easier.

700 advanced thieves in que? Ouch...I'm glad I decided to wait and make my 4th city dedicated to producing as many thieves as possible (I'm still 400 pop away from my fourth city) or else I'd have been even more annoyed with this update. I just don't see how inactive farming was hurting anything. I can kind of see where they might have been coming from because it could allow people to gain large amounts of resources without building up their own resources but at the same time, it takes thieves or armies to do that, which I'd think would balance it. Unless the update was made to stop people from having more thieves than they technically should be able to have...

A lot of the trading information will be provided with Trade v2; but the main reason it is not in the faction description as it will be dynamic information driven by interactions with players
As a very simplistic example: - If someone keeps dumping wood on a faction expect the price of wood with that faction to fall
- If on the other hand all their wood supplies are intercepted expect it to become in great demand
- If a faction's armour was in great demand - expect the price of the armour to rise; but equally they will start demanding the raw materials for the armour at a higher price and in higher volumes

I cannot imagine the pride that must swell in your chest each evening before you fall asleep
Hey,they can do something about it,call in Toothless or FDU.If we wanted this game to be a simmer fest there wouldnt be all these other alternative paths to take.

| I've started attacking active noobs with advanced thieves too; I suspect a few will decide game is unplayable due to them losing everything as soon as they make it. |
Wow! I cannot imagine the pride that must swell in your chest each evening before you fall asleep.
