[0.913] Outpost territory overpowers city territory

from Elemental Forums

I've noticed that outposts now have precedence over cities with regards claiming territory. I'm assuming this is a bug. In one game I built an outpost on the border of an AI city and claimed all the resources he had secured.

I've noticed that also happens when casting Arcane Monolith.  Since I'm playing as a Wizard & using spells vs mundane, I thought it was just an added bonus of the spell.  Should have known better.  Derek, if you fix the Outpost bug, please leave the magic version.  I'm of the opinion that magical results should always be bigger & badder than mundane.

I loved the way culture worked in CIV IV. In FE, I have no idea how this works. Is there anything stopping you from spamming pioneers and taking land by placing them all over the enemy borders?

In my current game, I was outpost spammed by Altair and actually flipped a water shard and wiped out all of the outpost's ZOC when my single city built a town hall.  Later, an Asok Knights has come to me the same way off of Pariden.  So it goes by level of prestige perhaps?  Verga had just surrenderd to me and his prestige was added to mine.  Now, if the Asok Knights weren't so damned high on the tech tree, they might be useful...

Is it truly a "Outpost > City" feature or a "Most recent is best" feature.

 

Either way, Cities should always trump outposts, yes even the magic ones.

I'd be curious if it would be possible to tweak prestige to function in a way similar to that. Although, at first i kind of suspected it did.

Outposts should be "Keeps" that allow for some actual defense of claimable resources so no random wandering whatever can just destroy with without even a scratch. Just a thought!
