Contesting Castles?
No, Tripp, I am not intending to do that. I was merely pointing out to
Eric, from what I believed was a legitimate question with someone confused
by the rules as stated... I have since come to the conclusion that Eric is
arguing for the sake of arguing and I am stopping at this point.

Actually, I never argue for the sake of arguing. I don't have near enough
time for it. I do like hearing differing opinions though. Of course, it's
always nice to have em backed up by fact, and/or actual quotes from the
rules, but such is life. :)
Besides, I did get some points that I think are valid-- IE by Ryan:
"> I can see that :) but in my game, I would say that if a ruler says "Nope,
> you can't put a castle in my realm" then it wouldn't happen. He does
I concur. Building a castle takes thousands of people several
years or decades, and they are vulnerable to attack while doing so. On
the other hand, a wizard with a ley line and a Stronghold spell is quite
capable of dropping a huge castle down in the middle of enemy territory --
all (s)he needs to do then is defend it."
Additionally, he writes:
"One amusing option to explore is the idea of Espionage or
Character actions to snatch a fully functional castle away from its owner
and fill it with loyal troops; magic makes such commando raids very
possible, and the situation provides a great adventure with political
motivations and consequences."
I like this idea. That is a cool way to take it over--assuming it's not
chock full of troops at the time, but either way it's an interesting point
and a GREAT role playing idea, that I'll just have to use :)

It is my opinion that Eric and Memnoch are just trying to fill up all of
