I love Bogus

A story like this is why I sometimes mention that random things like events should be controlled by a switch setting.

There is one, both from the GUI and the commandline.

Many multiplayer games would turn them down or completely off since they like to KNOW that strategy won the game rather than a stroke of luck (for bragging rights).

I can't understand this desire for Dominions, since order/turmoil and luck/misfortune dominions are core game concepts and major strategic choices.

AFAIK, independents don't ever eat so the single-scout siege can never take the castle.

Honestly, in single player I kinda like leaving weird provinces like that around. Gives the game more personality once it begins to wind down.

Really? I didn't know that...

Still, you get several benefits of the province (gold and free passage) just by camping your cheapest commander there. And if you know there's a fat Bogus group in there, you can even keep him warm until you're ready to tackle them and get the loot.

Id like to scatter castles on large maps as part of my chaos games (where I also randomly scatter sites, armies, equipment) but a castle in the game that way falls to the single-scout thing because everyone automatically defends. Ive asked for a map command of #patrol to fix that.
