Destroy Guilds?

[chris7ian]

Can it be done with assassins? I never use them because it kills your rep but can an assassin destroy the hanseatic leagure hq. Lithuania got the guild in Thorn and I want it. I dont want to take Thorn because Lithuania is almost gone, only two settlements left and one is underseige. So I want to leave Thorn alone but just destroy the HLHQ. Plus Denmark has too many Theologian guilds, so I could balance out issues like these.

You can sabotage a building, but it won't disappear. At best it will remain fully damaged, and the Lithuanians won't gain any benefit from it.

You could invade Thorn, get control of the place, destroy the guild and hope you can recover enough guild points to be able to get it, then give it back.

You could also try to trade the Lithuanians something for Thorn.

If you got too many theologians guilds, just destroy a few. The loss of guild points will ensure you won't get it back for a long time

Try your best not to destroy any guilds, even those pesky Thieves' Guilds that the AI pumps out in 80% of their settlements. Destroying a guild makes you lose guild points in all guilds, therefore making it a lot harder for you to get those HQs.

Thx for the tips. I only have one Theologian guild but the AI with Denmark has at least three. I guess I will invade Thorn and see if I cant vassal them and give Thorn back. I was avoiding the Baltics because I dont want to spoil the fun for the TO.

Assassins can't destroy but only damage the buildings so that the benefits received from it are blocked till the AI repairs them again.
Invade and destroy it so that it resets the Hanseatic counter.

Actually that's a myth.

Guild this s -100
Guild this o -20

"This" means only the guild in question is affected. Otherwise it would say "all"

Thanks for making me look that up btw, I thought the same as you

[chris7ian]

So if I take thorn, I basically should leave the hq there and keep thorn? Otherwise I'd be risking not getting it offered before some other faction since I'd take the -20 hit overall?

[newt]

Yes. Never destroy a guild you want good relations with.

[Babri]

BTW why would you need to destroy a HQ of a guild. HQs are very nice to have & getting them is quite hard, and if you destroy them it becomes even harder due to deduction of that guild points.

[newt]

He didn't want Thorn, the city that had the guild.
