Realm conquering

The game lacks content for inter-realm relations. The one that leaves the most weird effect is that of war between realms.

Recently the capital of Akihabara (and some months ago the capital of Dis) has been raided. The invasors destroyed all the realm objects, as it was expected in a raid, and now the entire realm and its innocent citizens lost all their buffs. Worst of all, the realm itself still exists (even if without any buffs), so any other realm that plans on expanding towards the fallen one has to challange each cairn individually.

What I propose is that when a realm is destroyed (as in, the village/hermitage in which it is gets raided), several options should be available for the raiders:

  • Crown a new king: at the cost of maybe a lot of LP or some expensive materials like gold, silver and rock crystals, a new player will become the king of the newly conquered realm;
  • Annex realm: at the cost of a great deal of Crown Authority (the more cairns the conquered realm had, the more expensive), the king of a neighboring realm can simply convert all of the fallen realm territory into his own territory;
  • Dismantle realm: all the realm objects disappear, leaving a no man's land in the map.

While these options may seem a bit harsh on the leaderships of the realms, since they will now be target of ambitious neighboring realms, the common citizens will be in better hands should their realm be conquered - either a new king is installed and nothing changes, or they get eaten by a bigger realm (and thus better buffs) or their realm simply vanishes and a new one probably expands into their direction soon.

Personally, I think only the dismantle should happen.

Only partially true. As long as the realm has no coronation stone, it doesn't gain authority, and once it's out of authority, anyone can bash the cairns without challenging them.
