I think that you should be able to bring your law NPCs into other cities that your allied with.

Just wanting to see what others think.

I think you shouldn't be able to take your law NPCs anywhere outside of your country.

No way. It's bad enough that it's already become war of the NPC's. Everyone's taking NPCs to warring cities and such and this would only make it worse.

Nah. Its one thing being allies with France, its another to let them bring their army into your country.

Then again, maybe its an 'honor guard'

I voted yes but then quickly realized how much it would get abused for other things other than help defend territories. Official vote : No

Yes.

Its enemy kingdoms you should not be able to take NPCs with you into.

At least until CTF/CRS moves to tribunals.

It would make sense for allies to be able to allow you to
bring your soldiers into the country. I don't see any not to.
Just flag the guards of one country and if they're spotted by
guards in an allied country, without permission, they get attacked.

It's an idea at least.

While the concept behind the idea is good, and even 'makes sense', imagine what happens after this feature becomes available. Players would flock to the strong faction(s) at the time, for whatever reasons such as beefy NPCs and buffs, or the side having better/likable leaders/members, because there is no clear advantage of being a local tribunal member.

Here's a very rough example. People who want to protect Kingdom_A probably don't need to join Kingdom_A Tribunal any more. Why bother? It is much better and easier to just go Kingdom_B, grab the ready, big naturals and 'police' in Kingdom_A because they are allied. Lack of law immunity doesn't matter because pardons are coming anyway.

That's probably not what people had in mind, right? Diversity is very important in SK. We already cannot customize a single class. We really need these guards that belong locally and have their own different, unique ideals to promote who and what they are.

Absolutely not. Those law NPCs are the equivalent of an army, and allied or not, to take them into someone else's city at your leisure is just short of an act of war. No ally with any good sense or a true ally status is going to let someone come and go in their cities with an army at will, no matter how friendly they are. It breeds resentment and undermines their authority when they are forced to resolve population vs. foreign army disputes.

That said, there are exceptions. Given the realities of this being a mud as opposed to real life, maybe a temporary lift would be allowable in times of besiegement, and would require the active and limited participation of the ally's leadership.

It actually, makes no sense. Would you, as a country, allow anyone's troops in your kingdom? The answer is almost always no. It does make sense that you can take them to a country that you are warring with.

I think one thing should happen though. When that does happen. Every single law NPC will attack and call for friends.
