Destroying settlements and/or forts etc.

[Pontiac]

Playing within the Nomad group (using Horse Lords), aside from pillaging, is there a way to raze or destroy settlements and/or forts in a region?

Thanks

Don't you destroy forts when you capture the province?

You attack the fort first, it gets destroyed, and then you get to capture the rest of the province?

I don't know. Is that the way of it? This is my first go with the Horse Lords. I'm playing as the Cumans and have some Muslims I subjugated where their "Duke" (post-subjugation) built a fort in one, heretofore unsettled, regions of my realm. No blood has been spilt yet, but I was wondering about options.

I'm pretty sure that's how it is with forts. I'm not exactly sure how to destroy cities/castles/churches.

Forts are the first to go when a province is sieged, once they die they are burned up entirely and need to be completely rebuilt again.

Nomads have the option to Pillage any settlement that they control, this removes a couple of buildings and nets a small amount of money and (I think) technology points. Keep doing this often enough until there are no buildings left and the settlement itself disappears.

Repeat as necessary for every settlement in the province, every province in the Duchy, every Duchy in the Kingdom and every Kingdom in the EMpire and you're good to go - 100% pasture from sea to shining sea !

Cheers. Let the burning begin!
