Betrayal and Deceit in DA: Conquest

[Burter]

Defecting is going from one army to another. If you want to leave, just tell me and I'll start your travelling to the unit you designate, two squares a day. If you want to defect during a battle, tell me during the battle. Be specific as to what you want to do when defecting in a battle.

Coup d'?tat is a sudden overthrow of a government. In DA standards, it's killing or overthrowing your commander(s) and taking control. Attempted murder is easy enough: just tell me you're gonna try and I'll start the fight. Challenging them to a fair fight is possible, and suggested, otherwise people nearby won't be happy with it.

The other way to perform a coup d'?tat is to gather support from troops, and other PCs, and use the army to simply put down the commander. If the army is losing, they won't be difficult to sway to new leadership. But if the army is doing well, they won't want to lose their commander.

Breaking Off and forming a new army is possible. You'll need at least two other PC-led units aside from your own (3 in total) and at least two bases close to each other. All the land around the bases will become your own. If there are other units there, you'll have to fight for it. Also, if support is in favor of your current commander, the citizens/guards at the bases will not go down without a fight.

As a side note:

I am not responsible for the choices people make in this game. Lying, betraying, and other actions are part of how the game works. You want to hold a grudge, that's on you, but don't take it out on me.

I'm the messenger; the storyteller. Not the player.
