Yes, it seems you grabed the topic. I should probably add that the regions
are most likely still underpopulated, as they were only recently created.

Aid from other realms.  (ie, Realm B gathers a bunch of money, gives it to

As I stated, gold isn't that much of an issue, Tom said, or so I infered,
that it is completly acceptable to have a character elsewhere just to have
them transfer massive amounts of money from one island to elsewhere.

If they had been planning this for awhile, they could have built and

This was just after a rebellion, however one of your points do stand.
Bringing troops from another realm. Didn't those troops sign up to serve
their realm(aka, the place where they live and their familys live), not
their noble? If I signed up for the US military, but then my commanding
officer defected to china(or even Canada for the sake of it), do you think I
would continue to serve him?

Perhaps a few TL's leave KI, join Realm D, recruit, then return to KI.


Again, see above-- I don't think this is realistic.

Well, let me put it this way-- you just made me see something. As I said
above, one of the methods you suggested does not seem realistic or in the
spirit of the game. The discussion list brought that out, and who knows,
maybe that part of the code will be changed for the sake of accuracy.

So if we're working together and thinking like this, with various mindsets
and new ideas being formed, is it not profitable to everyone in the
situation?
