I had soldiers belonging to who in Toulouse?

I assumed anything in one of my settlements had to be mine.

Indeed, that would have been the correct response in every other PBeM so I don't blame you. Does my rules clarifcation help?

Basically, if you suddently notice some soldiers in your settlement that you didn't recruit, than instead of saying "Hey, I've got some extra soldiers I can move." you should think "Hey, who put these here?"

I'm thinking of adding rules allowing players to bar other player's units from entering their settlements, as well as throwing someone else's units out. How does that sound to anyone?

My thought was more "Hmm, troops in Toulouse, guess I had recruited them".

I would certainly approve of a rule that required permission before troops could be moved into someone else's settlement. At the very least some kind of notification. Otherwise keeping track of what troops in your settlements are yours and aren't could be very confusing if the faction grows much.

Nothing to see here... *whistles*

I am having some time issues. Because of the extra time needed to count up unit upkeep (especially after battles where every unit's upkeep may change) and settlement income (which does change every turn, a little) I find the turns taking rather longer than in most games I'm in. I also find myself forgetting the exact makeup of my armies after playing turns in multiple other games, which was part of the reason I didn't notice new troops had appeared in my castle.

I may be a bit absent in the near future, although things might clear up a bit when I'm no longer Megas in LotR. If it would be better for a more active player to take the Prince I'd understand.
