Re: Baron vs. Baron Challenges - 2024 Spring Cycle Update

Nothing there addresses whether or not someone that vacates a title will be issued a new token afterward. Can we get a ruling on that please or did I miss something? They would not. They won't be given a new token ever again or just for the cycle in which they vacate a title? As someone who current...

Re: Baron vs. Baron Challenges - 2024 Spring Cycle Update

ETA: Several hours later, the question occurs to me. If a victorious Baron chooses to abandon one of the Baronies won in a Right of Conquest Challenge, how soon must they decide to do this? Immediately, or at any time? This should be immediately, but as far as that definition I think it's something...

Re: Baron vs. Baron Challenges - 2024 Spring Cycle Update

Why are these challenges limited to single duels if no tests or grants that permit someone else to intervene are not allowed? Barons have always had the choice of single duel or Best of Three for challenges. Removing that choice for Baron to Baron duels seems like removing a perk of rank to me. Bes...

In the rare event a baronial council is called for any reason, would a single Baron holding two baronies count as one vote or two?
Good question! The way I think of this is that each Barony has its own vote, so if Reign had two Baronies, that means two votes.

Re: Baron vs. Baron Challenges - 2024 Spring Cycle Update

Hey there! First thing, why are these only single duels? Why shouldn't these be best of three, or the choice of best of three or single? There's no Test involved, so I really don't see why it's limited to single duels. So this is something that we've gone back and forth with. We settled on making i...

Baron vs. Baron Challenges - 2024 Spring Cycle Update

Hello everyone! Starting at the beginning of next cycle, we're going to introduce the ability for Barons to challenge other Barons. As we introduce this, it will not immediately be a permanent rule change but may be in the future. We want to playtest the concept for a bit to see how it goes and to a...

Re: Our Current Plans

Just to come back to this, the upcoming changes are temporary but will be implemented starting with the next ART and next cycle. I can touch on some of these things, but nothing here is permanent. If it doesn't work out, things can be reverted back to what they are. But I personally think change is ...

Our Current Plans

Hey folks! So as not to leave everyone in the dark, I wanted to discuss what the DoS team is looking to do for the future. Right now we have two vacant titles, and the current plan is to leave them that way until the next ART. This leads into the discussion once more of possibly reducing the number ...
