No. The penalties for it are enough.

When you say LP's lost in an offensive attack, what exactly does that mean?

 

[Sonereal]

When you say LP's lost in an offensive attack, what exactly does that mean?

If the LPs you are using for the attack comes from cities, then they're not really lost. The battle just fails.

If the LPs you are using comes from the countryside, the ability to generate that LP is lost. So, if you have 15 Countryside LPs total and use 5 to attack and 3 of those LPs lose their combat round, you're now only producing 12 Countryside LPs.

Commentary

Spoiler :

Global

We are living in interesting times. In the Eastern Mediterranean, trade is born. It may not be a lot yet but it's there. However, the biggest news come from Asia where the Kasanazi are expanding their maritime claims the same way Huaxi is, by force. Expansion has been a common thread lately. From the piecemeal expansion in Iberia and Iran to the great leaps made in East Asia, South America, and Northern Europe.

The Bering Tribe chose to increasingly locate themselves in the capital, greatly increasing it worth.

Creating a city costs 13 LPs this turn

Europe

Euskaldunak is rapidly expanding it's farming capability and along with it, their territory by expanding slightly southward.

House Targaryen is creating a naval empire in the Eastern Mediterranean and has greatly expanded the countryside at the cost of the capital city. Trade between Jerusalem and Dragonstone are beginning in earnest.

Snapir is rapidly expanding uncontested.

North America

København is now the world's most wealthy city.

South America

The Columbo Tribal Federation is rapidly expanding.

Africa

Asia

Emperor Huangdi of Huaxi, continuing Huaxi's history of notable accomplishments, has conducted the first organized, large-scale military conquests in human history.

The Euskaldunak were restless. Although they needed to remain vigilant, many became infected with wanderlust. The world might be dangerous, but many still wanted to know more of it. After much debate between the elders and the young, it was decided. Euskaldunak would spread, across the lands guarded by Pirinioak. The debate, however, had been long. Over time, the meeting place where the debates took place grew. Limited trade began to spring up, and even after the debates concluded, the people stayed there. A settlement grew there, and it came to be called Bilbo. The elders, recognizing the utility of being able to stay in one place, settled there as well, and there a was limited administration that began there.

[Sonereal]

Two NPCs will spawn in Asia and one in Europe next turn. This was determined by RNG roll.

 

[Double A]

Is there any incentive for war, other than to stop people from being jerks? I'm guessing you get to keep cities. Provinces aren't much of a problem.

 

[Sonereal]

Cities and trade routes is the main thing. Though, if you have a neighbor with an insanely high amount of countryside LPs, well, you can take them down a peg.
