Killing spartans as spartan supporter?

[Ginger Witch]

So there are always fortresses on the map in every region and some of them are ruled by spartans or athenians. But on the map every place is marked on the map as "side quest" to kill the captains and loot the treasures. Well I try to complete everything on the map, so when I conquere these places I get the XP I need. But does it effect the gameplay if I attack a spartan fortress if I try to side with the spartans?

I'm curious about this too and about the conquest battle, participating on the invading side gives you more loot. So, does it matter if we always side with the invading as long as we make the side we support occupy the places again later on ?

It does not matter which side you support at all. You can switch regions as often as you like, there are zero consequences in the story. You are nothing but a low mercenary. Regions often switch on their own, they fight even if you dont get involved.

If you attack a spartan fortress, it weakens the hold of Sparta in that region. When the nation is weakened, you trigger a conquest battle - but you can join Sparta and help defend the region.

If you mean from roleplay perspective, Spartan NPCs wont care, I think.

This is the only major problem I have found with the game so far. No faction relationships! I want to support Sparta so bad and help them take over the entire map but my efforts are pointless

[ⓀⒾⓦⒾ‰]

yeah this ws bothering me as well at first but what happens is if you clear everything the power drops to zero for a while and the zone "war" flags appear for the land war
if you just ignore it for a while a new leader comes in, the forts repopulate and the power goes back to full

it is confusing as youre supposed to be helping one side and have no ties to the other

Because helping a side win the war would go against what the story tries to tell you:
that the war is pointless and needs to be stopped because otherwise you just do what the cult wants

You have no ties to either side, you are just a common mercenary. Neither side "cares" about your support , they just hire you to fight. You never are one of them, no matter how often you help a faction.

You're not a soldier, you're a mercenary so you fight for whoever pays you. You have no loyalty to either side. The Spartans and your own father tried to kil you and the Athenians are just foreigners who mean nothing to you. You're also a pirate so get the loot and be happy. This game is not about taking sides when both sides are the same.

Not just me wondering this then! I love doing everything I can on the map but I’ve also sided with the Spartans. It feels wrong to enter their camp and kill them all despite having just helped them defend against the athenians lol.

I just got a message board quest a few minutes ago where the NPC just said that, that she would help whoever pays the most. You are not a soldier, you are a mercenary, all that matters is who pays the most.

But you’re not just a common merc. They want to build statues of you and credit you for victory

[Internet_Hero]

So for a completionist how would this work? Do a conquest for any faction, attack the camps you just helped win the territory and then create another conquest and have to defend or attack again? I find that strange in terms of those who want to 100% each region

Because you the player is a great conquer (eagle bearer and being legendary in this world)
but you still have no loyalty to ether side you just a man for the right coin.

Maybe just give the conquest icon a check once completed for the 100%
