    This is something that has really bugged me about warding. How does a regent collect gold from holdings on the opposite side of a warding from him? How does he give orders? And do
    trade caravans have some special exeption from fog? As far as these things go, the warded province really isn't isolated. I offer my alternative idea (DMs from our big pbem: This goes
    on my list of suggested rulings).

    No orders may be given to holdings on the opposite side of the warding from a regent. A regent may take only contest actions from his holdings outside. If a regent left a lieutenant
    on the other side of the warding, the lieutenant may take his action but only if his lord left him with orders to ("okay, next season I want you to build a fortification in
    Fairfield."). Trade routes that have stops inside and outside the warding are suppressed as if by decree until the warding lifts. Trade routes with stops soely inside the warding are
    not affected. Trade routes that pass through the warded area do not generate any gold on the first full domain turn of warding. On subsequent turns, they will only generate gold if
    there is an alternate route to take. Finally, gold. Holdings seperated from thier capital by warding must pay maintenence using only what they make. Any troops with those holdings
    must be paid by only their income as well. An extra gold is stored until the warding falls, when it is then transfered to the kingdom's treasury.

    I'm sure my ideas have some flaws but thier only ideas,

    This brings up another strategy: Why not just ward the province
    containing the ruler? Then you could run amok in the rest of the realm while
    he's isolated. Just a thought.
