The other use is for laying point sieges, which both the ghost and the main guild benefit from. The best defense against a ghost guild is another ghost guild, basically.
They can also just stay off a given map, and jump into the fray if a serious incursion takes place. Taking those hexes back immediately may be cost prohibitive for the main guild, but it's ghost can neutralize the threat, if it even let the threat get past in the first place. Other ghost guilds, or guilds not currently holding territory on a given map, if unimpeded, and having the required amount of goods, can take an invasion zone hex (the beaches), then siege and take the next hex inland, move their HQ there, and then siege and take all hexes which surround their HQ hex. They can serve as a highly mobile defending force for a guild which holds a lot of territory, and are often employed as a border guard, particularly if the main guild has sectors near an invasion zone.
Ghost guilds have two other possible uses not mentioned. One Man Guilds = Ghost Guilds although they can sometimes have 2 or 3 members depending on what they are trying to do. Several ghost guilds at a time gives the stronger guild little or no chance of being able to stop them taking lots of land in one sitting. Once Guild B has been whittled down, Guild A can take over, and take the sector, knowing they wont lose their goods.Īnother use for Ghost Guilds is several members of one guild can all break away and form several Ghost Guilds at once and use them all to siege one guild, several sectors at once. Guild C can now attack Guild B by paying only 5 of each goods and if Guild B fight back, it costs very little for Fred to resiege over and over. So, Fred says "I will go form a Ghost Guild to help us out".and so Fred leaves Guild A to form his own guild, Guild C. Guild A want to attack Guild B.but if Guild B fights back, all those goods could be lost, with no new sector to make it worthwhile. Guild A owns lots of land and siege costs are now very expensive.
