You are basically required to drop a significant number of authority objects to increase the max authority pool in order for your village to remain functional, requiring you to increase the authority drain. For a small village it's reasonable that it could simply be impossible to keep the authority at the proper level.

It would make a little more sense for the claim de-activation to be at 25k, or zero, or increase the base authority of a village to 100k and keep the 50k cutoff.



It is more, your idol hasn't been updated yet, though.

The function seems pretty obvious.

Damn. Devs, couldn't you place building signs where authority objects was placed? First map edge, now this. And how may we get authority to remove fucking claim? DAMNDAMNDAMN.

Friday night, in the decadent socialist utopia of Sweden

loftar: Heh heh heh, man that Horse update was great.
jorb: Yeah, shame that nobody believes us. My pretty horse animation goes all to waste.
loftar: Their loss, so some more margaritas?
jorb: Thanks! But... should we do an actual update?
loftar: Maybe, I am comfortably drunk. What should we do, fix the combat or...?
jorb: I sort of promised village management update.
loftar: Oh, fuck. That sounds like work.
jorb: I dunno, just make the village claims square.
loftar: OK, done. Is that all?
jorb: Maybe... hmm... What about the existing authority objects? You could convert them to square too, and make their auth areas big enough so that they overlap the old circles.
loftar: OR! I could just REMOVE them and make the idiots pick up the linen and rebuild them again!
jorb: Oooh! And make every placed statue/banner COST authority instead of giving it. And make sure they cant see the new radius when building new ones, too!
loftar: And if the authority reaches zero, their ENTIRE village decays overnight!
jorb: And massive multi-headed dicks spawn and kill everyone!
loftar: Uh... maybe we'll do that on the next update instead. There, done.
jorb: Ah, I can almost hear the lamentation already! I love you loftar!
loftar: Me too, jorb! Now lets sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labour!

We have built one banner....... and have 3 people out hunting /building /farming for lp and we are still losing authority down from 55000 to 54900. I know its not a huge loss but whats going to happen when these guys log off? Really fucked up change.... keep it up guys games almost unplayable !
