I appreciate your responses guys, and thought I ought to get back to you.

Yes, exactly what I had in mind. Did you find another way to go about it?

I fiddled around with this suggestion of yours but had no luck; thanks though.

I'll do that if I figure something out, but that's not looking very likely right now. I second your .

I did make some progress on the settlement capture issue, though I don't know if it's of interest to you. It turns out that the GeneralCaptureSettlement event fires even if the stack that captures the settlement is commanded by a captain. So it appears that every time a settlement changes hands there should be a GeneralCaptureSettlement or CityRebels event.
