no Paladins castles for quests

[Manaduar]

how are we supposed to complete the new quests when they took paladins castles out of the game?

[Manaduar]

they disappeared after the treasure castle update, I haven't seen a single paladins castle since then.

They are still around. One spawned in my Parish this morning. Of couse its probly gone now

Paladin Castles have not been removed from Stronghold Kingdoms, you are probably not finding any because of the new quests that require such castles to be removed. Likely other players have already beat you to the few paladin castles on the map.

david, this has been documented since the paladin fix a couple months ago. the update for quests related to paladins has only been live for a matter of hours. most paladins destroyed in that time would still show the defeated castle icon on the map.

before today, the only reason to attack a paladin was your enemy had one in a war zone and you wanted to * them or you were just a general douche. but many of us have documented how many are on the map at any one time.

Yeah... that's why I suggested naming the quest "Villain". "General Douche" might have been a good title too, just doesn't have the same medieval feel to it though!

+1 for the general douche quest name!

Question... If a paladin castle goes away on its own, is it marked as destroyed or is it just totally gone without a trace?

[Manaduar]

ok I've been able to successfully find them, but it takes forever. So what exactly is a 1% spawn rate? each time an AI castle spawns there's a 1% chance it'll be a paladins castle? or 1% of all AI castles will be paladins castles? what's the time frame between spawns?

We had problems with this on world 5 when that patch first came out. Paladins would disappear without a notification and people would blame their neighbors for it and it sparked a few small conflicts.

from a god's eye view, I imagine that was fun to watch.

Time frame between AI castle spawns (providing the previous castle was removed promptly) is approximately one week but it has been known to vary drastically, some parishes don't see more than one AI castle every month.

I was actually wondering about world wide. It seems to me that if paladins had a 1% chance of spawning anytime there was a new AI castle, then with all the rat/pig/snake/wolf castles being killed for quests right now we'd see more of them popping up. So is there some limit to how many can be on the map or how often a paladin castle can spawn anywhere on the map?
