#1 Am I correct that 3 types of Crisis keep cycling/repeating in perpetuity except for approximately 50 years of “peace” after winning the current Crisis at which point another Crisis arises (rinse/repeat)?
#2 If I have disabled “Permanent Destruction” the game will not technically ever “end” unless…
…all of my mercenaries die in a single battle
or
…I choose to retire
Correct?
#3 However, if I enabled “Permanent Destruction”, then all of the above can cause the game to “end” but also eventually if all of the settlements are destroyed.
#4 I have “Permanent Destruction” & one village was completely destroyed & another one lost all of its industrial “buildings” and only the village ‘proper’ still remains. In both cases, I never noticed any message anywhere telling me that I needed to protect either one of them specifically or that they were under attack. Is there a way for me to know when a village/town is getting attacked so that I can go there and prevent them from being permanently destroyed…or at least have a chance to do it?
#5 If my mercenary band engages & defeats the enemy (Orc/Goblin/Undead/Bandit) force occupying a building without us being on a specific contract to do that, do we still gain fame?
#6 If my mercenary band engages & defeats the enemy (Orc/Goblin/Undead/Bandit) force occupying a building without us being on a specific contract to do that, do we still gain positive relations with any cities/villages (if so which one, the closest)?
#7 What about killed roaming bands of enemy, do we game fame & relations?
#8 Do enemy “buildings” continue to respawn all over the map in perpetuity (it seems that they do regardless of how many i destroy)?
#9 If I get involved with Lords fighting each other (ie the Crisis) & I choose a side, will that permanently make the other faction forever hate me without any way for me to regain positive relations with them again? In other words, am I forever persona non grata or is there something I can do in the future to gain a positive relation?
