Nonexsistent Village Claim

[BoobyJo]

Today I destroyed my low authority village idol with plans to immediately replace it with a new one with a new name. However; at the time I also had 3-4 banners out and about different areas of the village (none overlapping) to cover more ground with claim. Whenever I destroyed the idol the red tint that usually shows the presence of a claim on that area disappeared. When I tried to make the new idol I got the message "This land is already under rule" (or something along those lines), not allowing me to create the idol.

Now; through pure stupidity on my part I had a crossroad system leading to different walled off parts of my village, in these parts were the banners. I now cannot access these areas as the sign posts are not "powered" per se. <-- This is totally my fault and somewhat unrelated, however I'm wondering: is it a bug that I cannot create a new village idol despite there being no claim there just because some banners were left over from the old village (in other areas) or am I just underestimating the size of the initial claim brought on by a village idol and that it may overlap those existing old village claims and it is that that is screwing me over?


I just thought that I'd be able to create the new village idol and those banners would then be apart of the new village.

Will I only be able to solve this problem by destroying those banners or is the ground itself bugged when it comes to reclaiming it?

Break old banners, they're forever part of the old village claim.

should be changed imo, if there is no village idol then authority objects that were built from that idol should cease to generate a claim

i agree.

should have busted the banners first...
