Enemy's bond of blood & soil

[sabinati]

Studied for 96hrs, of course. Just taking the bond, or for that matter putting it in your inventory, implies nothing.

so if they inherit within 96 hours they can forge a new bond at the claim which destroys the existing one? are there any requirements for forging a new bond?

[jorb]

Yes. No.

[sabinati]

seems like hostile takeover is pretty difficult then

[jorb]

Indeed it is.

more like impossible as long as the person keeps playing

As it should be, abusable as hell otherwise. Also claims are destroyable now with a battering ram. All in all, if you want someone out of the area it's definitely not impossible. It's just not free.

I'd expect this will be rarely used in a hostile sense, mostly in a trading claims sense (between villagers I'd guess?). Which is kinda useful with the no LP refund thing.

Also: the cost is half the claims max presence to forge a new bond. Pretty negligible cost, but it's something.

Will be good for things like where people have build up a claim and given it away (though think that sometimes included the account, too).

Could be useful if you make a person ragequit or a "give me your bond and keys and leave or I kill you" type thing, too.
