When a regent's provinces are occupied by an enemy, the enemy
pays 1 GB per province occupied, does the regent still base his domain
maintenance on the total number of provinces (the regent has not yet
been divested) and holdings (which may be reduced to zero)?
As for pillaging, if a castle is neutralized, can the troops
that are "besieging"/neutralizing the castle be counted as those troops
available to pillage? It would seem that they shouldn't. They have
their duty. If they leave the seige then the troops in the castle
could ride out and rout the scattered looters and pillagers.
Also, with sea raids, doesn't it defeat the purpose of having
sea raiders (irregulars from ships --the Rjurik ...) declare war to
raid a "shore" province? The raid should be a lightning attack,
possibly limited to pillaging at moderate (to signify the haste with
which they conduct the raid). This may be a more realistic approach to
such actions. It places regents in fear of protecting their shores
from the fleets of raiders and expands the sea dimension of the game.
Can a regent establish trade routes with a vassal (within the
general guidelines for creating trade routes)? The vassal does, after
all, maintain an "independent" realm, albeit with tribute to the
liegelord. I cann't imagine the Anuirean Empire having no internal
trade routes and only trade routes to the unconquered lands.
