Special Factors Due to increased galvanization of sphere of influence, all nations have gained +1 bordering NPC nation at random, which was not previously claimed, is somewhat within the culture sphere of the owner, is likely within the expansion course of these nations, or has some other beneficial reason to be owned by that nation, on the provision no previous supplies were alotted. For those who could not have any NPC nations allocated, they will gain +3 Supplies next turn. This covers the following Nations: Marienritter +3 Goretaan +2 Black +1 von Duerr +3 du Brierust +3 Solifuge +3 Khalor +1 Huron +1 Delmotte +2 If the above arrangement /really/ messed up your plans because you promised that free province to someone else, contact me in DM. There was an error on the sheet, being 2 Bastadon provinces. I corrected it by adding the Matanarca island in the Girobalda region to pull them up to 15 provinces. Capital selection is now available. All Nations are expected to select their capital province. This means that next turn, that province will be annexed by the nation, and declared its capital. Nobles who already have a capital are also allowed to move their capital. Capitals are where troops gather if they are mobilized (provided there is no coastal blockade or land blockade preventing troops from moving). If Puppets are cut off from the capital, no troops will arrive from that region. In preparation of the Fristadvlom absorption, Libertade as a province is now independent, losing Fristadvlom their home province. Fristadvlom is not to gain another home Province until their annexation by Reinard (or merger into a new family name, whichever it will be). Fristadvlom no longer gains Supplies, instead adding a +1 Supply bonus to Reinard permanently (equivalent of the title weight of Fristadvlom). For the time being, Fristadvlom Bank remains separate. The first Casus Belli's are rolling out based on the previous iteration of the Noble System. Keep in mind, there is a difference between a Conquest and Honor Casus Belli. The former allows the annexation of Puppets, while the latter does not. The following Casus Belli have already been determined: Delmotte, Letoirneau and Peirgarten all have a Conquest Casus Belli on Lampero over the South Vixhall Strip, a small region of mountainous land separating Vultaro, Montania and Vixhall. Delmotte and Letoirneau each have a Honor Casus Belli against each other for Rivalry. von Drachenburg and Typhonus each have a Honor Casus Belli against each other for Rivalry. Harhold has a Conquest Casus Belli on Reinard over Maarde, Huide and Katsen, historically Harhold lands. Sorenvik has a Conquest Casus Belli on Viduggla for the province of Irvainvik, historically Sorenvik lands. du Brierust has a Conquest Casus Belli on Typhonus over Tirgunn, historically du Brierust lands. From here-on out, any Gang or aristocrat reaching 6 or above Puppets will be upgraded to a higher title weight (Great Gang/Title grant during next system season). This week, this causes the following upgrades: Slumberwood Hexenblood Other title changes for Noblity to be expected when the next season hits. We've yet to determine the exact puppet impact on titles. All titles related to the Imperial Court (such as Palatine titles) have been erased. All honorary titles have been erased. The only such title that remains is the Duke-Electorate title of von Drachenburg. Kreiburg is 1 Province away from being declared Prime Canton of Genevaud. Peirgarten is 1 Province away from being declared Duchess-Elector of Lorenthaus (Princely title requires 19 Puppets +1 capital) Black is 1 Province away from being declared Grand Duchess-Elector of Dragenthal (Princely title requires 19 Puppets +1 capital) Hexenblood +1 from Khalor 2 Sent to Hardowayle is now a Puppet 3 Sent to Alemandralejo 2 Sent to Macdannogh Gained the free Puppet of Biovella Delmotte +2 from Weismann +2 from Gochnipuchni 3 Sent to Truvais is now a Puppet 3 Sent to Maisonpas is now a Puppet 3 Sent to Carce is now a Puppet (1 Supply wasted, since it was already on 5%) 2 Sent to Maisondire Completed a free Puppet on Maisondire (+2 Supplies next week) Delmotte has acquired 100% control over the region of Pays-Sud. This grants Louis Delmotte the title of Prince of Pays-Sud. Additionally, the Emperor also bestows a Duke-Electorate title on the Grand-Duchy of Basta. This means the full title is now Prince Louis Delmotte of Pays-Sud, Grand-Duke Elector of Basta. Keep in mind this is an honorary title that does not come with any actual troops or income benefits. Correct address will be added on Noble Repository when we upgrade to next season.
