yes, the idea is that the soldiers spend a month stomping around in the mage's flowers :P

Not exactly right either. For each turn of occupation, you can either raze
all unfortified law, guild and temple holdings, or you can reduce one source
holding by one level. So source holdings are not exactly immune, they are
just very tough.

Yes, quite so Carl - well said.

Couldn't occupation also help a source owner by reducing the province level thereby giving the source owner the ability to raise their source?

[A_dark]

The maximum source potential of the land is not restored automatically when the population drops, cos the buildings and all that stuff would still be there. I think the rule is that the source raises by one for every year, in a province where it has the room to grow. This room to grow would be following the rules regarding source levels in populated lands.

Eg if the land is an ancient forest it has a source potential maximum of nine, when there are no humans in the province. If N is the province level and M is the current source maximum level, then M+N<=9 If the province is occupied by elves, then obviously M+N<=18, since the sources do not drop when the province is occupied by elves :)

I hope I was clear enough
