shadow castellans

maybe there could be shadow castellans where you can purchase a max of one and have one shadow outpost and no one knows where it is but you including your own alliance and also no one would know where the attack is coming from even tho you are attack with actual troops

Umm. Well this could give more of an edge to ruby players so yeah not really that great.

Never going to happened and you are suggesting way to many idea

However, I've often wondered about this...

I used my 3rd castellan for ages as an offensive weapon. I was using him to capture enemy outposts (rather than just attacking) and sending out their resources to my castles and then demolishing buildings and abandoning the out posts in 4-7 days. Brutal, but very effective.

What if instead of a shadow castellan that costs rubies they do upgrade the estate to level 4. I've seen lots of suggestions about it, but they've all just been because players want another wood OP or for even numbers (weak arguments essentially).

What if the 4th castellan from a lvl 4 estate (and it would be super expensive and take forever to upgrade) was a time limited castellan that would really only be an offensive weapon? What I mean is - this 4th castellan is only able to occupy an OP for 10 days after the 24hr holding period. After the first 9 days it immediately goes into an abandon countdown so you have to be aware of your time frame to move soldiers etc out but would allow you to capture enemy OPs and strip them of resources and tactical bases. It would make players really think about their OP defenses.

It would add a whole new element to grass and almost bring in the resource village capture model like the new worlds. To limit the ease of capturing players OPs like the first 3 castellans that can have lots of waves (up to 5 waves so you can send attackers and defenders to hold after capturing) perhaps limit the 4th castellans waves to just 3 waves or 4 so you have to send an independent attacking army to weaken you target timed well with an offensive castellan. Perhaps even lower the holding period for a successful capture with this castellan from 24hrs to 12 hrs so the player who has been attacked has to get moving quick to throw you out and so your time of control starts sooner?

Just a thought for a game dynamic tweak...

well i was thinking that the hidden castellen would be an outpost for hidden battle but needs its limits which i hoped you guys might throw around

I don't really see the point of shadow castellans....attacking is hard enough without your enemy having secret outposts they can send troops and resources from.

@Alcraigh- For once, I actually like your idea
