@disorganizer - Sorry, the requirement is tile ownership. That won't work. Strider still owns the tile and posted his intention to become a Baron before the new rule was announced so can still become a Baron with his one tile ownership as long as he does it before the next chat (when it becomes yours by conquest unless he somehow gets a unit there to continue contesting it) or surrendering it to you.
@Octavian - No, King still goes away. The rules are set for the full gamut of the game from start to end, that's why it still shows up there.
