Plots

Hidden Poison Estrange Placation Unattended Home Dual Destruction

With the "Plots" Force command, you can carry out stratagems against other forces. Deployed officers and those outside the castle, as well as officers who have already acted cannot be the acting officer. If you make an overseer an acting officer, though their duty will continue, their efficiency will fall and the effects will decrease. The 5 commands below are possible.

Hidden Poison

Send someone to infiltrate and sabotage the controlled area of another force. If successful, the public order and development of that area will decrease. Also, bandits and outlanders might appear. Even if unsuccessful, public order might decrease some. This can be carried out in the following areas:

A city controlled by your own force
A city neighboring one controlled by your own force

However, the controlled areas of allied forces and forces in the same coalition cannot be targeted.

To be successful...

Success is easier under the following conditions:

INT of acting officer is high.
INT of Warlord of the acting force is high. (If there is no appointed Warlord, then if the CHA of the Ruler of the acting force is high.)
